This is a great study and (one of?) the first of its kind! A note of caution from a human contributor though: given the slow academic publishing process, the findings should primarily be interpreted as a snapshot of AI capabilities (and the capabilities of researchers using AI) in 2024. (1/4)
Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work*

We are raising \u20AC30,000 to continue our monitoring, conservation and education work in 2026.
The Atlantic’s “conveyor belt” is slowing.
New observations from 16.5°–42.5°N show a two-decade, basin-wide decline in deep western overturning, the first robust observational evidence that the AMOC is weakening, confirming long-standing model predictions.

Thought provoking read about how climate impacts running and how running impacts climate change.
“Runfluencer culture and over-consumption in running fashion are dramatically increasing the environmental cost of what should be a low-impact activity.

Did you know you can search for R packages by what they do, as opposed to just their names?
Look! 👉🏼 rwarehouse.netlify.app
@kylieainslie.bsky.social made The Warehouse for just this purpose. Send it to a new R programmer today ❤️ because it's the resource we all wish we'd had at some point

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

Western boundary observations in the Atlantic suggest a meridionally consistent decline in the ocean overturning circulation.
Climate change is already re-shaping how people engage in sport. Due to warming temperatures, running may become less accessible and safe for many of us.

1/ Can AI help researchers check whether published social science results actually reproduce? In our new PNAS paper, we tested this directly in the AI Replication Games: 288 researchers, 103 teams, and real replication packages from quantitative social science.
Thought provoking science commentary:
"AI models assume that relationships remain stable over time, that training data are representative of future conditions, and that observations are independent. These assumptions are routinely violated in ecological systems."

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch.
