NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...

Oh oh. This is huge. "...according to an ongoing FDA investigation conducted after publication, and without the knowledge of these two authors, the primary end-point assessments in nine patients were readjudicated after database lock and trial unblinding" www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

A computer worm, an online rumor and a zombie apocalypse are not the same thing. Despite that, they can share a similar mathematical skeleton: contact changes state and state changes propagate. Last essay for #ComplexityThoughts: manlius.substack.com/p/the-power-...

There’s a world I sometimes fantasize about where the breakthroughs in artificial neural networks are still inside research labs and leading to interesting scientific projects. This essay from @juangallego.bsky.social is like a bulletin from that alternative reality.
