Can someone who lives in the kansas area please forward this to the authorities, i don't know what I'm able to do from Norway but this person randomly said this in my twitch chat and didnt comment further. RTs appreciated as I really need someone from kansas to see this.

I have spent my entire life working on this and thinking about this for the past 4 years. I don't know what will happen in 20 years, but I can promise you that on the 5-10 year timescale, scientists are not out of their jobs. AI is going to massively accelerate the pace of science, increase productivity, let individual scientists make way more discoveries way faster, and is going to make science overall more fun. But the model is going to be collaboration between humans and AI, not replacement.

The key difference here between science and e.g. software engineering is that science is not verifiable in any rapid/convenient way (unlike software), unlike programming. We still need humans for their scientific taste.

@petterssonbear LFG Petey

@jabo_vancouver I don’t interpret it that way. We’ve had such poor luck with high draft picks and we have got to increase our hit rate. Every single one counts and we can’t afford to miss these upcoming ones. That’s was my take on what he’s trying to say.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! 🙏

[Thomas Fung @thomascf4116]

@Canucks Great stick by Petey to slap that puck towards the net. What a finish by Brock. LFG.

[Thomas Fung @thomascf4116]

@noahstrang_ Good effort but not enough speed if you want to dangle 1 on 3. Easily shut down by solid physicality.

[Thomas Fung @thomascf4116]

@jabo_vancouver Also not arguing with you that he’s our PP QB. But my goodness are we in for a rough season if Petey can only pass the puck around and can no longer be a threat with his shot.

[Thomas Fung @thomascf4116]

@jabo_vancouver There are 4 other players on the ice. Pretty easy to defend against this PP when 43 is the only one making plays. This PP has major problems if it continues this way.

[Thomas Fung @thomascf4116]

@bubblecarm Great job D Petey and Forbort. I love it.

[Thomas Fung @thomascf4116]

@bubblecarm Petey back on the bench but bullshit hit that needs a strong response

@fictitiousfruit @DefiantLs Not about changing the call. More about letting the refs know she made a mistake.

[Thomas Fung @thomascf4116]

@tommykippes2 Agreed. Season to forget. Regroup, make good decisions this off season and prep for 2025/26.
