How to write #abduction, really? A P.E.B.I. approach by Brent Goldfarb & co-authors:
1. Introduce the PUZZLE
2. Review alternative EXPLANATIONS.
3. Describe the phenomenon the BEST you can.
4. INTERPRET observations, the why, what and generalize.

Thank you to my friend, @Jamie_Raskin, for your endorsement in this Senate race! You are a great friend, an incredible leader, and a true champion in the House.

It has been so great working alongside you (especially since our offices are right across the hall from each other!), and I am grateful to have your early support in this race.

@LeapingRobot Sad that it’s come to this but perhaps better than “how to tie a bow tie for a black tie gala?” Or “how to figure out who’s away on the golf course?”

Today, I’m announcing my run to be Michigan’s next U.S. Senator.

We need a new generation of leaders that thinks differently, works harder, and never forgets that we are *public servants*

@STS_News @richggall @brentdg2 Further, we're pretty bad at recognizing "turning points" in the moment. Is AI a GPT (general purpose tech)? Yes, so it's likely that it will have broad impacts across multiple sectors, but very hard to see the present from the future. 2/2

As an aside, Bob Charette has been publishing a 12 pt series on systemic limits around electric vehicles at IEEE Spectrum that does a good job getting at how shitty we are at thinking about systems when thinking about technology and climate policy.

The final chapters of TEVATBOH explicitly consider the environmental issues associated with the scale of technology. Some people, including reviewers for the press, didn't like that, but perhaps it's helpful, albeit "from the year 2000"! https://t.co/cFFZeIEXGv
