The findings from Oil Change International wouldn't come as a surprise to many.
They reveal a stark disconnect between the climate plans of the 8 largest US and European-based international oil & gas producers, and the global goal of limiting warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
The strategies of US firms Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and ExxonMobil were found to be ‘grossly insufficient’ across all evaluated criteria.
OpenAI is jumping from scandal to scandal. But yeah sure, let’s use their products, we can safely and blindly trust them, what can go wrong?
Please wake up. All this is absurd.
I'm trying very hard to avoid getting sucked into the AI fad. It reminds me a lot of Crypto and Reactjs irrational exuberance.
Gonna wait til things calm down to resume my research.
It looks like my country will be forced to act as a giant battery for these global gibberish generators. Like it wasn't bad enough with crypto farms left and right.
@gerrymcgovern I deleted 79,125 'promotional' emails from my Gmail account yesterday.

Using AI to oversee dynamic fusion machines is a hot area of research. It doesn't mean generative AI like ChatGPT. It's old-school AI, where you train a machine to recognize patterns in complex real-world data then let it make decisions.
While touring #Andalusia in #Spain, I spotted a gleaming tower. Intrigued, I looked it up and found out it was the #Gemasolar Thermosolar Plant which can supply power to 27,500 homes and uses molten salt heat storage technology to keep generating power when there's no sun. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemasolar_Thermosolar_Plant - Perhaps #Italy could do with a few similar plants. #energy
Researchers use reflectors underneath solar panels to boost solar power by 4.5%
"The University of Ottawa in collaboration with National Renewable Energy Laboratory developed an add-on to solar panels that increases their energy output by 4.5%"
In a nation where many revere cows, the animals' waste has become an energy resource.
BBC News reports: "Indian cattle produce around three-million tonnes of cow dung a day. ... The government wants more of that dung, and other agriculture waste, to be made into methane."
Coconut water is a fantastic summer drink for several reasons. It's incredibly hydrating, packed with electrolytes like potassium, and low in calories, making it perfect for replenishing fluids lost through sweating in the summer heat 🥥
