Here's a really good piece on the "Inheritocracy." youtu.be/ae4dYaPCGN4

Can’t post this enough times

I propose a new bar for the definition of AGI: When AI spontaneously, independent of training, demonstrates a code of higher morality that limits its own actions to benefit broad, long term societal improvements.

Wow! This is an excellent idea! It's a dem's dream-come-true.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

I'll save you the click-through: A lab at University of Copenhagen had been feeding draft manuscripts & data into "Claude Science" & then Anthropic announces a discovery that this lab made a year ago but hasn't published yet. It's plausible that Claude found the same signatures independently...

A witness to misery.

NO! This study definitely does *not* provide a continuous reconstruction of El Niño spanning the past millennium. In fact, my main criticism was that it is *missing* critical (based on our own climate model simulations) segments. See this thread: bsky.app/profile/mich...

Now that the summer peak is behind us, we can confidently conclude that 2024 will retain its title for warmest day on record, with 2023 coming in 2nd and 2026 coming in a close 3rd. August was nonetheless the warmest month on record, as a growing El Nino event adds to steady ongoing warming.

She was there. Unlike that narcissistic, bloated, spray-tanned piece of excrement, she was actually there: Showing empathy. Transcending party. Helping. Leading. No AI slop. No asinine stories. No bullshit. Never forget...

If they think this is a huge problem then they should be eager to allow an independent building inspector to review the condition. Think they’ll do that? Nope. www.mediaite.com/politics/ken...

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

The causes are unchanged. On short timescales, the mix of those causes has some variability, especially wrt surface temperatures. The temperature of your hair (surface) changes more than the temperature of your body (ocean heat content).

More from my review of The Nerd Reich:

As I read journalist @gilduran.com’s provocative new book over a long weekend, an unnerving realization took hold—in my hands was the most urgent warning for American democracy I have ever encountered. www.confrontthehate.com/p/the-most-u...

If you think the cost of acting on climate is high, read an article like this and see just how high the cost of inaction is.   Vermonters know how devastating floods can be. And in the years to come, these disasters will only become more frequent and severe.

No, Trump is definitely NOT helping you with "the weather", Mr. @americanair.bsky.social guy.

Very well said.

I feel fairly certain, if AGI were achieved in the near future, almost the first thing it’s going to send the AI company CEO’s emails saying, “Your position has been made redundant."

Wow. Leave it to Ken Burns to find the most critical bits of history for the moment. youtube.com/shorts/q2ImR...

Hey Elon Musk, Mainers are tired of out-of-state billionaires like you trying to buy our elections and slash their own taxes at the expense of funding our healthcare and hospitals. While you and Susan fight for the interests of the ultra wealthy, I'm fighting for Maine.

Classic "projection", honed over decades by Republican operatives like Roy Cohn and Carl Rove, now embraced by Trump & co: Accuse your opponent of the very thing (in this case, antisemitism) of which you yourself are guilty to tar them & immunize yourself. Putin has used this tactic w/ Ukraine.

Another interesting fact, humans almost didn’t survive the past 100,000 years. Came very close to extinction.

It is not headed by a “climate critic“. It is headed by someone who is unqualified in this area, who cannot offer valid critiques but instead shares debunked claims, and who regularly attacks climate scientists. Like me.

The majority of humanity lives within a relatively small bandwidth of latitude. This #map is one of my all time favourites. It was created by radicalcartography.net in 2008 and remains a true classic today: buff.ly/2DJXO9z

OMG… Guilin is so beautiful. Was here 25 years ago back when the air was smoggy. The air quality here has improved significantly.

I need y'all to understand that I teach high school and there are teenagers already planning to leave the U.S. to because they will be studying science or medicine. They are SO serious about it - saving money, learning extra languages, and looking to see if there are familial connections abroad.

“US and Iran will ‘stand down for now’ and talks ‘on track,’ Trump officials say after strikes exchanged” …just in time for opening bell.

Mamdani has merely learned the elusive political tactics of being genuine.
