"How the #BBC Almost Drove me Mad". Heard #BBCInsideScience earlier: Prof Johnjoe Mcfadden: #QuantumBiology, #QuantumSensor, #OxfordGroup
Then downloaded #podcast: NOTHING in the show!!! Listened to "Radio 4 live" and heard it again.
WHY DO YOU DO THAT @tomwhipple.bsky.social ...WHY????

Geoffrey Hinton's mother-baby model for a AI-human future seems pathetically weak.

[BBC Inside Science] Could solar panels in space be the energy source of the future? #bbcInsideScience

This week on #bbcinsidescience: solar panels in space, @simonparkin.bsky.social and @valmcdermid.bsky.social talk about Simon’s book, The Forbidden Gardens of Leningrad, shortlisted for the @royalsociety.org Trivedi Book Prize. @adamhartscience.bsky.social talks hunting for conservation.

The unintended consequence of the invention of the plastic #nappy is a nightmare for primary school teachers and for the environment. #BBCInsideScience

BBC Inside Science - Will the Hole in the Ozone Layer Close? Listen to BBC Inside Science - Will the Hole in the Ozone Layer Close? by BBC Radio 4 on Podcast Addict. 40 years ago scientists in Antarctica discovered a hole in the Ozone layer. The world acted qui...

We always celebrate the #ozone layer restoration as the biggest environmental sccess story.

But is it safe?

No - new threats: space junk, space launches.

And this will be not as easy to fix...

BBC Inside Science - How can science help us fight wildfires? - BBC Sounds In the past few days, UK firefighters have been tackling wildfires across the UK.

There's much to say about natural history #museums & the (often biased) ways they represent nature, or their surprising (sometimes violent) social history, but in this #BBCInsideScience I share some of the stories from #NaturesMemory about how they help save the world

The biology scientist sounded desperate to convince the programme that Google's 'co-scientist' LLM is doing novel 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔. That's not possible with an LLM, it's an algorithm, not a thinking brain.

The LLM is simply much faster at considering all iterations than the human.

#bbcInsideScience #AI

Radioactive plutonium? There's no other kind.

#bbcinsidescience

Once again a BBC Radio 4 programme (this time presenter Victoria Gill) imply #DeepSeek LLMs are censored. They are not.

The hosted service in China adds a layer of censoring to comply with China's laws. Run the model locally and you can ask it whatever you want.

Jane Goodall on #BBCInsideScience 🥰

Followed by a depressing segment on 'poetry' made by ChatGPT. "Can you guess which of these two poems has been made by a human?"

Turns out most people couldn't. 🙄😭😑

So delighted to hear Joanna on #BBCInsideScience this evening.

Random comment I know -- She won't remember me but I think we were at school together, and her lovely Mum taught me French. 🤓

@sophiescott @AdamRutherford just listening to #BBCInsideScience and noted the comment about original IQ tests being adjusted b/c teenage girls were perceived to overperform. Would love to read more on this. Do you have a source? 🙂
