There are some #ClimateChange related headlines appearing that are, imo, scaremongering and unhelpful. The Southern Meridional Overturning Circulation (#SMOC) has not reversed, the only reversal mentioned in the original paper is in the Southern Ocean Sea Surface Salinity trends.
So it was great to hear @wavygk on RNZ:
rnz.co.nz/news/world/566281/so…
where he gave an expert analysis of the #PNAS paper:
pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2500…
"So …it'll change the way the planet works", but not the #SMOC… yet!
Southern Ocean getting warmer and saltier, will 'change the way the planet works'

I’m not ignoring your message – I’m overwhelmed by the tyranny of being reachable
A friend messaged me the other day. I saw it. I didn’t reply. A week later, I finally responded with the classic: Sorry for the late reply, just got to this.She called me out. You didn’t just get to this, she said. I saw the double ticks.
Damn. She was right. I’d opened it. I’d registered it. But I’d also shelved it. It needed a proper reply, and at that moment, I wasn’t equipped.
Maybe it got lost between revisiting pictures from 2016 and the reminder I set to cancel my Nibble app 7-day trial on day 6. Maybe I got a call? Perhaps I’d wanted to sink back into that Substack article about reclaiming attention, ironically while still on social media. Maybe I was working one of the four jobs I need to survive under capitalism’s boot heel. Maybe I was doing nothing?
Does free time now equal availability?
I get a ping from the family group chat, which doubles as an IT helpdesk for my mum. My best friend just FaceTimed me about a White Lotus episode, and another left a voice note crying about a possible diagnosis. All this, lodged between videos of cats and genocide.
The boundaries between reception and response have collapsed.

Social media can support or undermine democracy — it comes down to how it’s designed
Every design choice that social media platforms make nudges users toward certain actions, values, and emotional states.It is a design choice to offer a news feed that combines verified news sources with conspiracy blogs — interspersed with photos of a family picnic — with no distinction between these very different types of information. It is a design choice to use algorithms that find the most emotional or outrageous content to show users, hoping it keeps them online. And it is a design choice to send bright red notifications, keeping people in a state of expectation for the next photo or juicy piece of gossip.
Platform design is a silent pilot steering human behavior.
Social media platforms are bringing massive changes to how people get their news and how they communicate and behave. For example, the “endless scroll” is a design feature that aims to keep users scrolling and never reaching the bottom of a page where they might decide to pause.
I’m a political scientist who researches aspects of technology that support democracy and social cohesion, and I’ve observed how the design of social media platforms affects them.
Democracy is in crisis globally, and technology is playing a role. Most large platforms optimize their designs for profit, not community or democracy. Increasingly, Big Tech is siding with autocrats, and the platforms’ designs help keep society under control.
There are alternatives, however. Some companies design online platforms to defend democratic values.

The image is a diagram illustrating the water cycle and its interaction with urban and natural environments. It features a central arrow labeled "Evaporation" pointing upwards, with a fun fact stating that a tree can absorb water at the same rate as a cup of coffee per second. The diagram shows various pathways for water movement, including evaporation, infiltration, surface runoff, and discharge.
The diagram includes images of different surfaces, such as roads, green spaces, and rivers, to represent surface permeability. It also highlights the impact of external factors like climate change on the water cycle. The diagram shows how water can either infiltrate the ground or become surface runoff, leading to potential flooding if the difference in flow rate is greater than zero.
The diagram also includes a section on man-made drainage infrastructure, with arrows indicating water discharge via pump or gravity. The bottom right corner features a bar graph, possibly representing water levels or flow rates, and a globe icon, emphasizing the global context of the water cycle.

Pixel Tablet is a 7th generation Pixel launched in June 2023. 6th/7th gen Pixels had 5 years of support instead of 7 years of support like 8th/9th gen Pixels, so it has 3 years of support remaining.
Since it's a 7th gen Pixel, it's still ARMv8.2 without later ARM security features we consider important enough to make into hard requirements for new devices: PAC, BTI and MTE.

"TikTok is preparing to launch a standalone app for U.S. users that is expected to operate on a separate algorithm and data system from its global app, laying the groundwork for a potential sale orchestrated by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.
Over the past several months, TikTok employees have been working under tight deadlines to build a new, U.S.-specific version of TikTok by transferring and duplicating the application's codebase — including AI models, algorithms, features, and user data — from the global platform, current employees at the company told Reuters, who requested anonymity while discussing private matters.
The move could open the door to resolving years of debate over whether the company would share what is considered the crown jewel of the ByteDance-owned short video-sharing platform- the recommendation algorithm powering the Chinese-owned platform, which has been at the center of the U.S.-China technology standoff."

LLMs are not really intelligent, they just create synthetic text by reproducing patterns from their training data. They can be incredibly powerful tools, but the way they are commonly used nowadays is less than useful, it's quite counterproductive. They don't have any kind of cognition, there is no mind in there; all the perceived intelligence exists in the language itself and in the structure of the texts the LLM has been trained on.
However, by fooling yourself into thinking that the LLM is actually intelligent, you are putting yourself in psychological danger.
I don't say, " Don't use LLMs!" They are still powerful tools or cute toys, you just need to remind yourself that you aren't talking to anybody, it's just a text synth that doesn't know what it's doing, a text synth that doesn't know anything but the texts it has eaten, and that generates new texts to look similar to the ones in the traininig data. Don't listen to the advertising, they're just trying to sell you some rubbish that can't do what they promise you.
Also, if you use LLMs, try to use smaller ones that can be run on a local machine, and then install them there. Those don't use insane amounts of energy, those also don't archive everything you tell them for data mining, and they don't even need an Internet connection in order to work, unless you want them to search the web for information.

Is AI getting smarter or just getting better at faking it?
AI is different enough from us to redefine intelligence itself without ever understanding what that means.John Nosta (Psychology Today)
Debby ⁂📎🐧 reshared this.
If we ever see a real artificial mind, some kind of LLM will probably be a small but significant component of that, but the current wave of machine learning will most likely come to a grinding halt very soon because of a lack of cheap training data. The reason why all of this is happening now is simple: The technologies behind machine learning have been around for decades, but computers weren't fast enough and didn't have enough memory for those tools to become really powerful until the early 2000s, and around the same time, the Internet went mainstream and got filled with all kinds of data that could be datamined for training sets. Now there is so much synthetic content out there that automated data mining won't work much longer, you need humans to curate and clean the training data, which makes the process slow and expensive. I expect to see another decades long AI winter after the commercial hype is over.
If you look for real intelligence, look at autonomous robots and computer game NPCs. There you can find machine learning and artificial neural networks applied to actual cognitive tasks in which an agent interacts with its environment. Those things may not even be as intelligent as a rat yet, but they are actually intelligent, unlike LLMs.
Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC reshared this.
This article explains it quite nicely. An LLM is not an artificial mind but rather a zillion-dimensional map of the abstract vector space of all the texts on which it has been trained. Every possible text is a single one-dimensional path through that space. The LLM treats your input as the beginning of a path through that landscape and tries to continue it.
Likewise, an image generator is a zillion-dimensional map of all the images in its training data set. It doesn't know anything about the world, it just tries to find the coordinates of a point in the vector space of all possible images that matches your prompt.
