I think #GeoAI will fade away, what remains will be Earth grounding for AI. Our craft we will be another "bitter lesson". geo is different but not separate... imo we scientist should be more effective on the ground than precise on paper www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-g...

My message at Davos next week: When facts fracture and narratives collide, when nature bites back, when trust between governments breaks overnight and global sentiment feels like quicksand… the boldest acts of global leadership will be planetary awareness. www.weforum.org/stories/2026...

Can planetary intelligence anchor a new global dialogue?
The amount of Earth observation satellites now orbiting the planet could offer us a shared planetary intelligence, if their data is harnessed correctly.

I had this random idea to create a compression algorithm that skips words that an AI can deterministically predict, both exactly or similar ones. 3 minutes later with Gemini. Famous texts, or sections, compress to ZERO size (memorization), and always better than zip.

In the 4th millennium BCE, the city of Ur was a coastal city. It is now ~241 kilometers inland. In the intervening 5,000 years or so the Tigris and Euphrates rivers have extended the coastline that far to the southeast into the Persian Gulf.

Most of the Internet works by selling your attention (ads). Most AI services run at a loss to get your human reactions so it learns to mimic them. We'll know AGI is close when AI has ads.

Most internet services are free, ads based. Your attention is what providers sell advertisers. With AI your humanness is the product, as a label to train for. imo key difference is that ads wants consumers, fine. But AI wants to mimic humanness as the product.

20% of debugging code is fixing errors. 80% is finding silent errors, and realizing the computer did as told, but you failed to code what you actually meant. AI agents will do the 20% much faster, and dig infinite rabbit holes, and fail on the rest.
