#AI is in the news daily There is time to control and regulate to prevent extremely dangerous outcomes c.f. #GlobalHeating, rarely reported, despite frequent shocking events Did we once fuss about #climate like we now fuss about AI? What changed? phys.org/news/2023-04-e…

Yesterday I enjoyed some positioning geekery

I don't know what's more worrying. The automated rule-breaking or the Tesla stan celebrating it.

He's finally done it! Every country. No flights. 9 years. ✅ 🌎 👏 Very well done Thor! You can finally go home now and chill.

Are you a Home student finishing your course or graduating soon? Consider applying for this PhD. It explores the use of quantum technology gravity sensor data in buried utilities by integration into GIS. Only Home applicants eligible. Link details & apply findaphd.com/phds/project/a…

Great PhD opportunity still open for a UK student with data science / maths modelling interests - great blend of using cutting-edge sensor technology to solve real-world problems in buried asset mapping! And Ordnance Survey support too! RTs welcome please!

Are you in #academia? Could you take part in a survey my colleagues are running on eco-anxiety in HE Staff? Link: cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5h… You must be “employed to deliver teaching and learning, research or in academic leadership within a higher education setting"

Coming from the #environmental sciences, it feels like the worlds of #AI and #industry exist in a parallel world The McKinsey Global Institute assessed impacts may make sense in a world with a stable #climate and #society But the actual world is volatile, complex and radically uncertain

The science is clear, we have to send our #emissions over a cliff before the end of the decade if we want a hope of avoiding catastrophic #GlobalHeating Who does it serve to pretend that we are not going to undergo a massive #economic discontinuity over the coming decades?
