Personal update: I’m moving back to NYC. I had been living in the NJ suburbs. Go figure my move would coincide with AI issues blowing up. I hope to comment further on AI, and a list of other things (including why I’m moving back to NYC) but for now I’m stuck packing boxes etc.

@ELEC825 @NJ_Opinion @njdotcom Finally, the rapid growth of Jersey City is very helpful by enabling more people to live near transit or even walk or bike to work in JC. Furthermore, expecting all those people to drive is a recipe for even more gridlock & pollution.

In a new opinion article in The Jersey Journal @NJ_Opinion @njdotcom, I argue, on environmental grounds, against the proposed expansion of the Turnpike extension that goes through Newark Bay & Jersey City. Thread.

@ELEC825 @NJ_Opinion @njdotcom My understanding is that there is an abundance of repair work needed on aging transit infrastructure—again please correct me if I’m wrong on this. To the extent that this is needed, I hope you support it.

As part of looking through all the capital projects in NJTs most recent capital plan, I've noticed a pretty common refrain. The most important bridges in NJ are 100 years old and are massive bottlenecks.

Thread. In a new statement, my organization @GCRInstitute addresses the harmful & scientifically dubious idea of a genetic basis of racial differences in intelligence. It is prompted by recent remarks from a senior scholar in our field.
