"We lay down our arms
So we can reach out our arms
To one another

That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried" #AmandaGorman

This week, I’ve been reading a lot about #AI, #MachineLearning, #LargeLanguageModels and the illusions of understanding in scientific research. It’s fascinating but also concerning, when we consider the advantages but also the risks and limitations of these tools. So much work to do!

Therefore, if we are ever to have a theory of complexity, it will sit on the shoulders of #networktheory” (#Barabasi, 2012)
