The common view is that building AI data centers will raise electricity prices. But in the long term, it's far more likely that they will lower them, thanks to their large, steady power demands. Passing smart and popular laws make that a near certainty. https://t.co/xYbYORcUwt

NASA’s pioneering work in chemical rocketry paved the road for the now-thriving private industry in the U.S., opening up Earth orbit for business. A new focus on nuclear propulsion could open up the Solar System itself. https://t.co/fAbnRJlrcu

One in ten women have exercise-induced orgasms. In a new study, researchers interviewed 21 women about their experiences with it. The triggering exercise is typically vigorous, repetitive, and/or demanding of core abdominal muscles. by @SteRoPo https://t.co/1qctvOhRNg

@HannaDohmen Hi, Hannah! I'm a journalist currently working on an article about China's espionage efforts to gain ground in the semiconductor race. I was hoping to ask you a few questions as it seems you might have some expertise on the subject. How can I best reach out to you?

[Steven Ross Pomeroy @SteRoPo]

Mostly interested in the basics: what is it, what are you trying to do, what was your inspiration, is there any competition, how do you picture it being used (at home, in school), etc. Do you have time for a 30-minute interview any time in the next week? Thanks for your time!

[Steven Ross Pomeroy @SteRoPo]

@karpathy Hey Andrej! I'm a journalist with @bigthink , @freethinkmedia , and @RCScience . I saw your recent announcement of @EurekaLabsAI and I'd love to learn more about the idea and write up a piece for FreeThink.

This is always a pertinent adage, but it seems extra pertinent today: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

@thresh Hey! I'm a journalist with @RCScience and @bigthink. I'm also a former guildmate from Void in Classic WoW (Moolinda, r-sham). I'd love to interview you for an upcoming article to be published in ~10 days. I sent the details via Linkedin msg. Let me know if interested!

[Steven Ross Pomeroy @SteRoPo]

@AjitPai Hi, Mr. Pai. Curious if you'd be interested in a 30min interview for @bigthink's issue examining the past, present, and future of the Internet? Would love to get your thoughts on the Internet as an invention, its promise, and its future as AI and other inventions arise.

[Steven Ross Pomeroy @SteRoPo]

Thanks for your time!

@declangrabbmd Hey! I'm a journalist currently writing an article about the potential benefits and drawbacks of spreading mental health awareness on TikTok. Was hoping you can provide some thoughts, considering your 2023 post on the topic in BMJ.

[Steven Ross Pomeroy @SteRoPo]

2. In your article, you note that people are turning to TikTok and Dr. Google for their mental health quandaries as proper mental care can be hard to come by and expensive. Do you think this process of self-diagnosis is overall helpful or harmful?

Albert Einstein's theories of special and general relativity are today widely accepted, but when he first outlined them, there was fierce opposition. https://t.co/CrGLaPjkJJ @bigthink @SteRoPo
