In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart. liorpachter.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/j...

Stumbled upon this and thought it was interesting

3I/ATLAS is behaving just as a comet should. No shenanigans. Looking forward to the possibility of JUICE (a European spacecraft heading eventually to Jupiter) observing this object in the coming weeks!

“The most improper job of any man,” the elder Tolkien wrote, “is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.”

Remember the "why won't protesters thank Trump for bringing peace to the Middle East" news cycle? That was fun.

When Eric Schwartz was 15, his mother died. The first day back at school after the loss was difficult, but one teacher's kindness changed his experience of the day and the rest of his life. n.pr/4oBBioa

sometimes when the process of what most of all to play out, of which is important. and what i'd all which to do, is take at the entire thing and in due time when it's the situation of what's ahead. after all of together i have many times said, let's just going on

Turning to AI chatbots for personal advice poses “insidious risks”, according to a study showing the technology consistently affirms a user’s actions and opinions even when harmful buff.ly/ntJs2Rq

Is it actually just a branded laptop with joysticks? 29 year old me is rioting in the streets.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Ok this slaps

The Royal Society should be protecting science, not Musk on.ft.com/46EWow2 | opinion

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Someone should probably inform the White House's "AI & Crypto Czar" that no one is forcing AI companies to train their models on Wikipedia

The RMI hosted a workshop on urban resilience to climate change, bringing together researchers, experts, and city representatives to discuss a shared challenge: making our cities more resilient to extreme heat events. 🔗More info: [NL] www.meteo.be/nl/info/nieu... [FR] www.meteo.be/fr/infos/act...

That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another.

Dites @bsky.app c’est quoi encore que cette suspension de @bouletcorp.bsky.social ? Il serait bon de corriger vos algos manifestement manipulés par des groupes qui strikent en masse @support.bsky.team

Cute wave pattern in the cloud this morning @orb-ksb.bsky.social

As the climate warms, extreme events are becoming more frequent and intense worldwide. But who will be most exposed in the decades ahead and why? A new study answers this by comparing future exposure to floods, heatwaves, droughts and compound hot–dry events. More info: www.meteo.be/en/info/news...

☀🌕 On September 7, there will be a #totallunareclipse. However, totality will only be visible in Belgium between 20:17 (moonrise) and 20:53 (end of totality), local time in Uccle. For better observation, find a place with a clear horizon between east and south-east. robinfo.oma.be/en/as...

The Europa clipper is on its way to investigate the ice shell and ocean of the Jovian moon Europa. Here's what the interior of Europa looks like as we know today. Values of layer depth estimates taken from Vance et al., 2018. 🧪⚛️ #EuropaClipper #PlanetaryScience #FluidDynamics

saying "i wish ill" isn't even a wish of harm, it doesn't even violate the rules, get your shit together bluesky

A guy I know told me he uses ChatGPT to write prompt for Midjourney and I can't even...

One of those concepts of physics that is not well understood by a lot of people, paving the way to all sorts of new age usage like here. It's arguably worse than "Entropy" as it seems more familiar and intuitive.

We’re hosting our friends’ doggo for the week and it seemed unfair not to show him here. Bluesky, meet Ylly

For some reason, this came to mind. www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

There are many real reasons why Musk’s Mars plans are naive, impractical, and quite frankly idiotic. Making up a nefarious A.I. as the show stopper is pretty funny.

Then this. Ah, the fatal flaw in Musk's genius plan! FFS.

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

We knew already that the Earth’s magnetic field existed way before a billion years ago. The study referred to here simply proposes a mechanism to generate a magnetic field that doesn’t require the presence of an inner core, which started growing only a billion years ago. 🧪

🌠The #Perseid #MeteorShower will reach its peak around August 12. However, the presence of the Moon, which will be 84% illuminated on the night of 12 to 13 August, will hinder the observation of the less bright shooting stars. Hence, arm yourself with patience to observe them.

You don't have to plan anything to do during your free time. That's why it's 'free time'.

Sometimes it helps if you try a little bit to be a spectator of your own work. Surprise yourself with the piece or writing, the drawing, the tune, the cake, or whatever you’re making.

Bref, David sort des lieux communs, faux, et dit que que comme Donald le fait, on devrait aussi déréguler.

Let yourself be hypnotized by these #rotor #clouds. The wind blows over the #mountain ridge and the setting sun behind the ridge gives the background light. The #vortices are very coherent. This #timelapse compresses around 30 min. into 15 secs. 🧪 ⚛️

Just a heads-up, we're planning a small quality of life update later this year! We're working on several projects at the same time, but we want to give Silhouette some love too!

Sure there is the consequences: the divorces, being forced to step down, or whatever. But above all, I’d be mad to miss out on the fun, if I were them.
