Today on Volts: the podcast you've been waiting for! Jesse D. Jenkins, Dr. Leah C. Stokes [email protected], & I dig into the climate/energy portion of the Inflation Reduction Act. What's in it? What has dropped out? What impact will it have? All your questions answered. volts.wtf/p/volts-podcas…

Sometimes, totally unprompted, I remember that Randy Newman said “A Horse With No Name” was “a song about a guy who thinks he took acid” and I nearly fall down laughing.

We live in interesting times. “These findings suggest that a “theory of mind”-like ability (thus far considered to be uniquely human) may have spontaneously emerged as a byproduct of language models' improving language skills.” arxiv.org/abs/2302.02083
