Regulations, Research, and the Cosmos

This chapter examines recent regulatory discussions around AI, emphasizing a push for minimal restrictions to foster innovation, while also addressing concerns about diversity in AI models. It contrasts the fast-paced decision-making of the private sector, particularly in tech, with the slower processes of government, illustrated by the impacts of the Trump administration on cancer research funding. Additionally, the chapter shifts to thoughts on outer space and recent astronomical discoveries, blending personal reflections with scientific insights on black holes and the evolving dynamics in the cryptocurrency sector.
