Those are just tools some of us use some of the time. It's like saying we could replace a carpenter with a hammer

given that “vibe physics” ramble by the uber guy i’m not convinced the techbros know how sciencing is done

They aren’t going to fund sensors or sampling. And WTF is going to happen to sample and core depositories? The USGS and NIH had decades of samples cataloged in every lab. What’s going to happen to NSF/USGS ice core storage facilities? Best studied ice records in the world down the drain?

"Oh yeah? Well how do you know we even needed Einstein? What if we had just saved money by making a General Relativity sensor and then we didn't even need to pay him all that tenured salary. Didn't think of that, did you lib?"

They just don't want to have science

Sensors have a crucial advantage over scientists: you can turn off or ignore a sensor if it says the earth is warming, Trump is already turning off weather satellites. Scientists make a lot more noise and are harder to control.

The people making those decisions are as dumb as tRump.

Everyone knows you replace carpenters with caulk, paint, and calling things "farmhouse chic."

That’s because tech bros have surgeon brain. They think “I can code and that’s hard so therefore I am smart and understand everything and anything I don’t understand or can’t do must be stupid and useless.”

But the Grok-enabled news drones swooping in to conduct interviews will be lit: “So your entire family were just incinerated in a Tesla Taxi accident, but tell me, what were their favorite things Hitler did?”
