Thank you for 10K. I barely know 200 people IRL outside of family but there's 10K of you online. An online family! As usual some announcements and clarifications: 1. I'll be trying harder to be more responsible with my words. While it's true that a number of my posts are intended to be sarcasm or jokes, it may unintentionally affect someone negatively. A large following means more responsibility. I'll try to be more concrete about my words. 2. This account is unrelated to my workplace(s). Opinions are my own, flawed as they may be. You are free to mute or block me if you don't agree. Fwiw, a number of people will not like me and it's ok. 3. I don't just talk about academia but also some social issues, Japan, food, relationships, etc. 4. I am very defensive about my colleagues and collaborators and will defend them tooth and nail. 5. I'll be interacting with blindly negative posts lesser and lesser. In the past I have avoided blocking because it felt unnecessary and extreme but I have reconsidered. So if you bring blind negativity, please note that you are wasting your own time. 6. ASI is coming soon! Everything in the quoted post continues to stand. I'll do my best to make more interesting, helpful and relevant content. Thank you again!
Now that I am at 8200 followers, some announcements: 1. I have a responsibility towards my audience, mostly students, so I will spend more time talking about AI/ML research. 2. You will see a general decline of trolling posts. 3. Memes will be posted as long as I find them to be wholesome. 4. Don't worry, my quips and jokes will remain, but I will be making them more respectful. I will also not be engaging in unnecessary debates. 5. I spent a lot of 2024 yapping about academic misconduct, but due to recent experiences, I have decided to stop talking about it, for the safety of my family and my career, in that order. I will still uphold morals and principles, but at a personal level and at the level of groups I am involved in. Since I am not batman, nor so I have his resources, I have decided to not try to be the hero as much as I want to be. I am sorry if this disappoints you. You are free to call me gutless, for you are right. 6. All I say are my opinions, and my opinions may/will be biased and often very wrong. These are mine and not those of my organization. I am happy to be publicly criticized and/or called out for it. I am allowed to grow beyond my past mistakes. 7. Since I have limited capacity, I can't respond to all DMs, but I will try to. But please understand that a one time DM reply does not constitute an easement. 8. I am not some influencer, so please make all decisions on your own. 9. I will share my personal life experiences as applicable as long as they encourage people to be better.

@bitbyte24 The bad you do remains with you, the good you do comes back to you. It's human to rethink your act of charity so don't be ashamed of it. However the fact that you did get emo enough to donate means you have a good heart and this has proven that good deeds indeed return rewards.

@tmdanis I will be. I already act like an edgy zoomer to my zoomer students and it creeps the out ;)

@neurosapien Sir, then might I suggest you start with Death Note! Even for someone who isn't a big anime fan, it's one of the best thrillers out there!
