One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire.
One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.

I saw someone today noting engagement here on Bluesky was stagnating and I suspected it wasn't just here, and it looks like I wasn't far wrong. I'll note I haven't personally noted less engagement here, but I am a "big" account who is highly social and responsive, which probably mitigates.
Ох не знаю, я одразу пригадую сходинку Хілларі і трупи навколо неї і щось якось мені здається там конвеєр був завжди, просто ми зараз більше обізнані
"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."
A chatbot is always going to produce a statistically likely sentence. It is always going to tell you what's routine, likely, "normal." It will not help you break out of cliche. It's MADE of things-already-said. It cannot say anything particularly new.
As I've noted in the attached piece written in February, I'm not going to give grief to people forced to use "AI" by their buzz-addicted corporate overlords, because the history of corporations is replete with timewasting edicts from above, and people need to eat

I am not saying you should (or not, although please do not use an llm) use it. AFAIK this would be one of a handful genuine usage if an llm as a valud tool, but...
And there are also moral high grounds that whisper to me that's wrong
I am never going to trust an llm. However, if I process a text through it and compare the results, the results might be statistically better than my knowledge of the language, because it us not very good in the first place.
Of course. They are statistical approximation, a stochastic parrot. But! If your mastery of a language is below "average", would not that statistical nature at least allow you to compare in between? Like add the missing 'the' that are OBV not an issue for a master of a language?
Mmy somewhat side question would be: but what if English is not your native language? Is using LLM as a... style/spell-check alright? On one hand it feels like that could help, on another - that IS AN LLM.
I mean, I hate them, but that seems like at somewhat justified use case as a tool...
My daughter Z (4) is currently very into space. She's now encountered the concepts of lifespan and death, but only in the context of stellar evolution. If Grandpa gets sick it's possible she'll expect him to expand to thousands of times his normal size, explode, and collapse into a black hole.
It took me a bit to figure out, but at this angle you can see there is now a transparent cone sticking way out into the shroud.
Head-on the lights look normal, but this cone combined with wind channels in the shroud is designed to keep snow off the lights!
First heard of this in Japan, cool to see
I think even unmodified spiders are more compassionate and humane, so probably no.
Because they are instanced on ants?

Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website:

(For once the clickbait headline is accurate: google's planning on swapping their own AI-generated summaries for the website you just tried to view.)
Then you get techbros who think they Know the Science and can reduce everything to a system that will explain all, do all, and who can't even imagine the gaps in their understanding! Sweet bleeding Mithras. It reduces me to absolute inarticulate frustration.
This is part of why I foam at the mouth over "Rules of Writing." No, it is NOT good to teach beginners that there are hard and firm rules so that they avoid mistakes. Exactly the wrong students come away thinking they UNDERSTAND WRITING and make Grammerly.
I never used Grammerly, because it never did really understand the point of grammar and just...used a bunch of rules. Grammar (and punctuation and even spelling) is actually really squishy and alive and changing.
