I’m in San Jose this week for NVIDIA GTC. I’m a panelist for “The Role of AI and Accelerated Computing in Understanding and Mitigating Urban Climate Change” session. We'll discuss how AI transforms climate modeling, weather forecasting, and high-resolution urban simulations. Anyone else attending?

We know many cases of automated hiring gone wrong in the past. Automated firing? Doesn’t look good. No guarantee on transparency. The agency will be left to an unnamed LLM: “info would be fed into an unspecified LLM that would assess whether an employee was necessary” www.wired.com/story/doge-a...

Several groups are working to preserve webpages, tools and data – some of which have already gone missing from government webpages since the start of the Trump administration.

Earth breaches 1.5 °C climate limit for the first time: what does it mean?
The threshold has been exceeded for only one year so far, but humanity is nearing the end of what many thought was a ‘safe zone’ as climate change worsens.

The scaling laws seems to have hit a wall. As reported by Reuters: Ilya Sutskever said "Existing LLM approaches that rely on just scaling up have plateud". www.reuters.com/technology/a...

What is AI superintelligence? Could it destroy humanity? And is it really almost here?
AI systems more intelligent than humans in some ways already exist – but general-purpose superhuman intelligence is probably still a long way off.
