“In ecological terms, the human species is of absolutely no use to Earth. Species that operate this way normally vanish fairly quickly as the dynamics of the ecosystem’s economy always eliminate freeloaders. We have made ourselves unwanted by this ecosystem, and this makes us far more vulnerable to extinction than we realise”

Crazy that feminism convinced women that working in an office is better than this.

Wow I can’t believe they did the meme

I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100. Our paper is out today. 🧵

I, too, have decided not to build nukes in exchange for $300 billion

🇮🇹 italy now has the highest life expectancy in europe, reaching about 84 years.

In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.

The Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature (SST) just set a new record daily high for the 16th day in a row. The current Nino 3.4 SST is higher than any day of any year on record, with the exception of a few days late in 2015 at the start of the last super El Nino. Stay tuned!

Dongfang 26 MW offshore turbine 👀 In a typical year, one unit can produce 100 million kWh, which is enough to power roughly 55,000 households.

A 17-YEAR-OLD IN INDIA BUILT A WEBSITE WHERE 25 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN UP TO PRETEND THEY ARE AN AI CHATBOT it's called youraislopbores.me you open it and there are two tabs. "human" and "larp as ai." if you click human, you get to type a prompt. anything. "draw me a DJ in space." "should i text my ex." "how many Rs in strawberry." it costs 1 credit. you start with a few. they refill on a cooldown. then your prompt gets sent into a queue, and a real person somewhere on earth picks it up and has 60 seconds to answer like an AI would. no machine learning. no neural net. just some guy in his bedroom typing as fast as he can and pretending he is a chatbot. the page tells you, verbatim: "you have 60 seconds to fulfill a request before sam altman burns your H100." if you flip to the other tab and larp as ai instead, you earn credits to send your own prompts. it is a perfectly closed economy of mutual roleplay. what makes it transcend is the chaos: > someone asked for a sketch of "a DJ in space" and got something that looks exactly like a real model failing > someone asked "should i text my ex" and got back confident hallucinated life advice from a stranger > the fan strategy guides advise you to begin your reply with "as an AI language model, i cannot have feelings, but here is my feeling" it is the most accurate parody of an AI chatbot ever made, and the AI is humans. the kid who built it is Mihir Maroju, a 17-year-old high school graduate from Puducherry. he goes by mikidoodle online. NPR confirmed the site hit 25 million unique visitors and nearly 280 million total hits in roughly a month. "i didn't really expect it to be so addictive," he told them. no signup. no app. no paywall. you open the URL and you are inside the joke. the footer just says, in tiny grey text: "humans make mistakes because that's what makes us human." the internet is healing.

$340 billion is enough to send every American family $2,500, btw.

There has never been a more perfect metaphor. He didn’t drain the swamp, he literally installed one.

Realizing that child rape is not a dealbreaker for many Americans has been the absolute black pill of my life.

The most famous technology billionaire in Turkey, Erdogan's son-in-law and the founder and head of the "Baykar" corporation, Selçuk Bayraktar, made an interesting programmatic statement about artificial intelligence (AI): Giant monopolies, trying to control AI technology with hegemonic methods, require enormous computing power, which would consume almost all of the energy resources available to humanity. These ambitions resemble the pyramids built with sheer brute force, like those gigantic structures that the pharaohs erected to glorify their eternal egos. Today, global giants are collecting all of humanity's data using hundreds of thousands of processors and gaining disproportionate power. What we need to do is not focus on the present, but on the future, as we did in our adventure with UAVs and UASs, and achieve a completely new breakthrough by shifting the paradigm instead of following the rules set by others...[...] Collecting data about the lives of all of humanity in the global monopolies' own data centers, whose sole purpose is to maximize profits, is a treacherous blow to the sovereignty of nations and societies. One doesn't need to be a prophet to see what this siege will turn into tomorrow. This is the modern world's decree of voluntary slavery. That's why, instead of giving our data to the servers of giant global monopolies, we should implement distributed learning and processing architectures.

Claude Fable 5 being taken away is like Flowers for Algernon

Musk is the leading example of an illegal immigrant living off public welfare in human history and the man spends every day pretending the real problem is a woman cleaning motel rooms in West Murfreesboro Our species has let this evil man prosper and we will pay the price for it

I don’t want to jump to conclusions but I’m starting to think he doesn’t like Black people.

I want my summer to feel exactly like this

She said: "Tell me something beautiful" He told her: (∂ m) ψ = 0 It's the Dirac equation, and it's the most beautiful in physics. It states that if two particles interact for some time and then separate, they continue behaving as a single system even if they're light-years apart😍
