I have to admit that I've been surprised why the level of hate at LLMs (and their pushers) is not higher. They aren't learning tools, search engines, or thinking entities. They are bullshit machines. This resource by @carlbergstrom.com provides a wonderful explanation. thebullshitmachines.com

This is a long overdue, but terrific, book by Greg King. For anyone interested in the California redwood region, and especially it's logging history and what went on in the 1980s and 90s, it is a must read, written by one of the primary participants in, and reporters of, those battles.

Outstanding book:

Friends, I have written you a book on forensic metascience. It is free. You can have it. Happy St. Valentine's Day. If you wish to give me a gift back, you can use it to cause trouble - the greatest gift of all. open.substack.com/pub/jamescla...

Want to do a PhD in climate, with a focus on using machine learning to recover millions of lost weather observations and so better reconstruct climatic changes over the past century? Open to students from UK and Ireland, funded through @climatecocentre.bsky.social. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

This is an example of the type of study needed in analyzing both historical, and modern, ecosystems, and which there are far too few of. You cannot be single minded regarding causation in ecology--it doesn't work. bsky.app/profile/bior...
