My attempt at articulating why I think LLMs are a clear net positive for all research, and it's a mistake to ignore it despite private concerns:

2025 was a good year for movies. Go to theaters, people. Grab some popcorn and see them in big screens, as they were meant to be watched. Now, we’ll wait for the next award season to spam you all with my thoughts on movies. #Oscars
Sinners was beautifully shot, with some outstanding performances. Unfortunately, Michael B. Jordan wasn’t one of them. Hawke, Moura, or Di Caprio should have taken this. #Oscars
PS: Chalamet also did a good job, but I just couldn’t stand the movie.
Another win we haven’t talked about: Marty Supreme didn’t win anything #Oscars
One Battle After Another had to win this. Fantastic movie all around. Great script, beautiful cinematography, outstanding performances. #Oscars
Rose Byrne, I salute you #Oscars
Very well deserved Oscar for Paul Thomas Anderson 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #Oscars
Jesse Plemons should have been nominated for an Oscar. What a performance. #Oscars
I like 3. I think it’s the most informative one!
We saw “Good luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” the other day, and I need to recommend it to everyone. Insanely fun (though dark), very appropriate for the times, and how can you not love Sam Rockwell?
The best I’ve seen this year so far.
Some random person at an event today “recognized” me and said “you used to tweet a lot, no?”
Yes. Yes, I did. 😭 #RIPTwitter
"when Trump announced the idea of tariffs to address the trade deficit... every economist around the country said: That's a very bad idea, that won't work....
If you look at 2025 as a whole, we have basically the same trade deficit...
So I'm going to score this one for the economist, mate."
Dat me! In the middle of the Economics Research Mesa (?)
Reposting this from the other site just because it’s too good not to share.
Fuck ICE
Watched the half-time show with a bunch of Chilean friends. Everyone was a little touched. That was absolutely wonderful 🔥
#rstats In very non-Superbowl news, here's an experimental 📦 for nice graphics display and UX in VS Code (and other potential front-ends).

I feel this is a common sentiment (from my experience with my highly-selected friend group), but how many now can’t stand Chalamet?
(For me it happened during the press tours for “A Complete Unknown”, but he has gotten worse, no? He’s going into Austin Butler territory for me.. with better acting).
It was a great season and Williams is just starting. See you in September. #DaBears💔
We’re playing with house money.. but oh my it would be sweet to win today 🐻
Caleb Williams is a national treasure.
THAT WAS INSANE. WE’RE ALIVE!!! #DaBears 🐻
There’s a paradox around remote work. Jamie Dimon says it will kill productivity, while startups are hiring for remote roles. Who is right?
With Abhinav Gupta and Elena Simintzi we try to resolve this dispute
