Anyways I think it’s not so much the 95% that fail that matter, it’s the 5% that succeed.

Succeeding in what is also a critical point.

Succeeding in dramatically improving the library sciences? In rapidly sequencing and modeling data in chemistry or biology? In language translation? Cool. Cool. Cool.

Succeeding in slop-ifying mass media? In convincingly fabricating data to dupe industry professionals and regulatory officials? In jamming up my phone with automated sales calls? Less cool.
