We turned the manuscript for our book in almost a year ago now, but we were working feverishly on it around this time given that MAHA was busy undermining vaccine science even then.
Now, a year later, how is our book looking? More or less relevant?
In this episode, we take a walk of some key chapter to find out:
- Trapped In the Tech Shrine
- An Ad Model for Scientific Claims
- Everything Counts, Nothing Matters
- Amateur Hour
- “Code Is Law”
- The Price of “Free”
- Feudalism Makes a Comeback
- Not the Same as the Old Boss
- What Does an LLM “Know”?
- Unnatural Science
Bottom line?
The book is more obviously relevant, but perhaps like other books we’ve heard authors reflecting upon after publication, we didn’t go far or hard enough.
We also include our “Discoveries of the Week.”
