#Climate conspiracies don't add up. My op ed piece submitted today:

I knew ocean acidity to be a problem, but didn't appreciate that its devastating impacts are expected to arrive so soon. #Climate change: what is ocean acidification? https://youtu.be/OVWZyDz--30

Seems like many are steadfastly against #AI ; and truthfully there are many big reasons to be concerned. That said, AI also recognizes and reports on its own dangers, which give some cause for optimism -- that its orientation is evidence-based (a-political); it reports in plain language based on what credible sources it has read (everything). Ask it a #climate question if you don't believe me - or a question within your field of expertise.

Discovery, ..., is where lawsuits get fun. Because when you sue someone, they get to ask for things too — all the evidence you might not like exposed. And what the BBC’s lawyers have formally requested as part of that discovery, is: https://thedemocraticvoice.substack.com/p/yes-bbcs-revenge-on-trump-that-may?r=5bq289&utm_medium=ios&triedRedirect=true

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @sabik@rants.au @tante@tldr.nettime.org I base my perspective on review articles published to journals. This is one of them with an image capture of the review articles conclusion. This one of many such published papers. Review Redefining Radiology: A Review of Artificial Intelligence Integration in Medical Imaging

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @tante@tldr.nettime.org I see nothing shocking in that admission. AI abilities are jagged - in some areas exceptional (radiology) and in other prone to error. Like any human. The key to judging its veracity is based on the strength of the citations it provides and what other sources are saying about the questions we ask of it.

@maxleibman@beige.party Dr. Hinton: the better analogy for regulation is the steering wheel. It's not a break on progress, rather it steers it. We still drive cars, despite regulations requiring that windshield glass doesn’t decapitate us during impacts and that we avoid the second crash within the car with seat belts. Dr. Hinton warns that #AI urgently needs to be regulated. This is what gets the MAGA world riled up. Professor Geoffrey Hinton, “Godfather of AI”, live Q&A https://youtu.be/F4t9xZQF1U0

@maxleibman@beige.party The strategy of the Tech bros is to demonize regulation of the technology that will enrich them. Hinton (who pioneered AI) warns that *regulation* is urgently needed and it's unlikely to happen when governments are corrupted by tech money.

@dcnorris@scicomm.xyz @lukascbossert@mastodon.social @jameshowell@fediscience.org On recall, Dave, the Exceptional Responder study was designed to identify drug targets that may be applicable to certain individuals (via biomarkers); that it was exploratory. I do not think it led to any FDA approvals but I could be wrong of course. Findings may have justified some expanded access applications by patients and their doctors.

@mhoye Methinks you need to do more homework on AI.

Replying to @mhoye@cosocial.ca

@mhoye As I see it: because AI competitors exist worldwide, it's here to stay (else we lose to other countries). AI gets smarter and self reliant because its self-educating and never sleeps - and gains power from other AI agents. The need to regulate it is urgent, but again it's not going away.

@atrupar For long-time residents of NYC, what he is was always apparent; that he's descended to an evil lower nutcase level - should have been widely acknowledged when he simulated ORAL SEX with a mic during a MAGA rally before he was elected a second time. God Help Us.

@kathhayhoe@fediscience.org Good information to reference when writing our representatives.

@mthie@fedi.mthie.com AI Art: How can it be expressive if it's not human? But I suppose, like photography, the expressive bit can come from the selection (which generated image the artist chooses to showcase?) - and from the instruction given to the agent. It leaves out the ritual and the joy of the process that can only come from making it by hand. In a world teeming with #AI images, the rare thing, the valued thing, will be the art made by the hand and conceived by the mind of a human being.

@waldoj@mastodon.social Americans elected a sexual predator and *convicted fraud.* In America deals like this will be the norm.
