Fucking incredible. Play this for every university administrator in the nation. She says AI is the next “industrial revolution” and all the students BOO loudly. And then when she says “a few years ago, AI was not part of our lives” they all CHEER. She is shocked by their reactions. I am not!!!

This paper is getting a lot of (deserved) attention; I think this paper serves as a nice complement arxiv.org/abs/2602.18710

1/ Yesterday I was more worried about #hantavirus than I am today. Why? Flight attendant who was exposed - Tested negative Viral genome - No concerning mutations Two Singaporean's exposed - Tested negative Data situation - We're tracking at Global.health (h/t @mugkraemer.bsky.social)

Question to myself: can I code faster with this to the level of finishing some valuable results in a weekend-lomg coding spree? Concept and data are already checked.

Amazing time with my students visiting @rewildingyouth.bsky.social, learning how to tackle inequality barriers in low-income neighbourhoods.

Considering the weeks-long period of incubation and the secondary contacts (fligh assistants too) of people who left the boat in St. Elena, potentially infected people could easily be in the magnitude of 100.000 humans.

Prime becomes everyone's supply chain. #econsky

Say thank you!

Lambert: The Strait of Hormuz is going to be open and we’re going to control it. Mockler: In two weeks? Lambert: It doesn’t matter if it’s two weeks or two months. Mockler: It does actually matter because economists are saying if it's closed for a few more months, we're going into a recession

Today's pushes bring in some speed efficiencies to our new model uncertainty library which make it approximately **14** times faster! Check it out now at robustipy.github.io; accompanying paper getting published very soon, super jazzed 🎷

I think multiple "Sta Marta"-like meetings per regions and sectors can do the job. More layers is the answer.

The politics of global socio-economic resilience?

BLACKOUT. The ideology of cascading events.

No symbolic gesture. Quiet panic after a #tipping point was crossed: UAE’s abrupt exit showed oil production systems are in negative feedback. Oil producers are now in a full-blown race to the bottom, terrified that crude could become uneconomic within a decade. H/t @janfichtner.bsky.social

Human-nature relations evolve.

Lessons from Santa Marta: 1. Gradualism fails in systemic transitions. 2. #UNFCCC should be seen as one of multiple layers. 3. Debt and finance are feedback delays and tipping point triggers (read below for more) www.theguardian.com/environment/... #greensky #economy #sciencesky #climate

In 2008 I met a climate scientist from Mali who was advocating for this so long that he looked exhausted. Absolutely amazing man. He was working so hard on this. And then I see numbers like this and my heart just soars. Youba Sokona, you (and your peers) really did it. www.ipcc.ch/people/youba...

I'm a long-time advocate of road user charging, but I actually think right now is not the best time. They should've done it years ago, before the crisis. But right now, when we're in the middle of a significant cultural shift in attitudes to EVs? I'd prioritise not interrupting that.

Geopolitics is accelerating renewables, and our research on social tipping dynamics shows we could accelerate that momentum even further. How to turn that momentum into a cascade of rapid, self-sustaining change? Ideas welcome! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #academicsky

It's beautiful: four humans, safely home after a record 252,756 miles away. What's the best thing you can find in a lunar mission? “We came all this way to explore the Moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth” said Anders after Apollo 8. science.nasa.gov/missions/lan...

Imagination in future co-creation can help putting human wellbeing ahead of short-sighted cost-benefit analyses.

This is good news: 1. BECCS at Drax would be the biggest risk to a credible, targeted UK CCS program. 2. A focus on batteries and flexibility will better support renewables deployment. 3. Further proof that big emitters like to hide behind the idea of future CCS, but pull back from delivery.
