It's a relief to see at least one CEO of a major AI company stop lying to us about the disruption of labor. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic the maker of Claude, says, "companies and government need to stop 'sugar-coating' what's coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs

I'm seeing a resurgence in climate change fear-mongering this week, centered on scenarios out to 2100 (!)🤣Climate change is real and a major challenge, but conventional IPCC scenarios are technologically illiterate garbage. Here's why:

The original panic-inducing results of the “Standard” run of the 1972 Limits to Growth model predicted food per capita and industrial output per capita peaking shortly after the year 2000 and then collapsing, followed by population doing the same around 2050. Needless to say,

Is there any reason *not* to integrate voice-mode LLM with autonomous vehicles? Waymo ? @tesla ? Not exactly a new idea. Maybe we have a Summer Surprise coming along these lines...

Good analysis 🧵from AukeHoekstra. Always discouraging to see Bjorn Lomborg mischaracterizing technologies like solar, wind, batteries. Difficult to understand the motives and agenda here. "Best things first" obviously and absolutely entails adopting SWB and other tech asap.

Back in 2015, the editor of a top journal rejected my paper that criticized urban planning for ignoring the prospect of autonomous vehicles. I was still a PhD student at @uclaluskin when I pointed out that in the 1200+ papers published since 2010 in the top planning journals,
