Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

Every 10-20 years, a breakthrough technology promises non-developers to finally create software without needing to hire programmers. So far, every such technology resulted in the need for more devs… expert in this NEW technology (or knowing how to fix it up). Every. Time.

Really like @albertatech.bsky.social’s humor videos, but this latest serious one explaining what we don’t know about how LLMs at a tech level is a great example of what can help enable better AI criticism. (For example, LLMs are not “just better autocomplete”.) youtu.be/nMwiQE8Nsjc
