The practice of science has deteriorated due to politicization, where good scientists are often overshadowed by those skilled in navigating grant applications.

The apocalyptic fear surrounding science and technology has led to a risk-averse society, where taboo ideas are often dismissed without discussion.

The fear of apocalyptic consequences from scientific endeavors and a desire to escape into abstraction have contributed to this stagnation.

I can't imagine a world where scientists are out of jobs because the essence of being a scientist is to tackle open problems, and there will always be complex challenges to address.

While I don't regret my contributions to AI, I am concerned about the negative consequences it may lead to, and I believe we should focus on developing it safely rather than trying to halt its progress.

The stagnation in scientific advancement since the 1970s may stem from cultural factors, including a risk-averse mindset and a lack of new ideas.

Science is about doubt and falsifiability; it should not be based on consensus or groupthink.

Thirty years ago, the interests of basic science and industry were quite different, but today they heavily overlap, with both fields focusing on similar questions and challenges.

I think it's beautiful and important when a scientific mind can fearlessly explore subjects just outside of our understanding.
