I guess Wyden is doing the right by keeping low profile and just working on issues. But on the other hand I really would love to see him run for president. I don't always 100% agree with his initiatives but he really seems to be though

In my view the problem with doping is not that pros take it. The problem is that when pros take PED and do basically impossible stuff this trickles down into amateur and youth sport. So you end up with teenagers and amateurs taking everythi

We absolutely need an information economy where people can research things and publish what they find without needing some deep pocketed sponsors. Some may do it for money, some may do it for recognition. Once AI absorbs all that informatio

There needs to be a focus on competitive markets instead of free markets. Competition is mostly good for customers but competition needs to be created by regulating the market to some degree. Otherwise markets will almost always be taken ov

I really, really, really hope we will discover life on another planet, preferably in another solar system. Right now we have a sample size of one so a lot of thinking about the origin is speculation. I hope this will change.

" they have stagnated as their profit have soared but like most things" That's the preferred mode for a lot of managers. There are only a few company leaders who can push a company forward and keep it innovative. You could ar

I worked at IBM Research in 2003 for a year. There were a ton of extremely bright people there. It was pretty cool to go around a corner and see an office that belonged to Benoit Mandelbrot. Another office had the name tag of one of the &qu

No company has ever deserved the benefit of doubt. There are plenty of examples in history where companies prioritized profits over harm to people. And they knew exactly what's going on.

I expect this to go down the same way as with the internet in 1990s and 2000s. Lots of potential followed by hype, big bubble with lots of bad ideas, crash, good ideas survive, wide adoption and then AI will be part of everybody's life

If it’s really unknowingly they shouldn’t be held responsible. But we have plenty of examples where companies knew exactly what’s going on and they covered it up for decades. See lead gas or tobacco. Or the food industry who pours sugar int
