I was worriedly checking the wildfire map today when a notification popped up that my recurring contribution to Word of Thanks went through. Perfect timing to ease that feeling of complete helplessness. Consider making your own donation

I’d hope this is fairly obvious considering all the fires we’ve got, but I’ll say it anyways: Please respect campfire and fireworks bans this week and over the 4th. Most of the mountains are in stage 2 restrictions (no campfires). Again, an ask to please respect it. #COwx

Was out watering this morning when I stumbled upon a new nest in my peonies. It appears that the duck couple that has been lingering lately decided to take up residence. I’ll have to rethink some of my gardening plans to give them space…

Piggybacking turkey facts: their “brown” feathers contain a whole rainbow. Also, they have mood cheeks that change from blue to white when they’re happy or scared.

In this case, we’re not just paying an artist as welfare; botanical illustration is essential bc (unlike beetles) herbarium specimens don’t retain their color and form
Lovely illustration of the natural colors of the vegetative and floral anatomy of what I assume is a Sisyrinchium but is definitely not a grass

Posted a thing
Over the past couple of years, I have seen Generative Al creep rapidly into the television industry, and am not fond of it.
I don't want a machine to write my scripts. I don't want a machine to make my concept art. I don't want a machine to tell my stories. And have yet to hear an argument in favour of the technology that has any actual merit to it beyond the capitalistic need for cheap and quick output with minimal input. It's here to stay' That isn't enough for me to just wave away the contributions to the climate crisis, the plagiarism and copyright issues, the *horrific* ethical consequences, the workforce ramifications, and especially importantly for me asa science communicator, the fact that it is, by and large, the world's greatest misinformation engine. For anyone else working in science TV specifically - listen to the scientists you work with. Listen to your most dedicated audiences. Listen to the artists who have historically visualised your ideas. Adoption of and excitement for this technology is nowhere near as universal as it seems.

ChatGPT and other LLMs aren't about to produce superintelligence, but if this is it, it's still changed the world. Not necessarily for the better. I did a big picture look at AI, comparing it to search and social media, On business, politics, education, misinfo, ability to grasp reality, and more.

ChatGPT and other generative AI isn't about to create superintelligence, but even if what we see now is it, the impact is on the scale of Google search and algorithmic social media, except maybe worse

Letting Google set the narrative about the environmental costs of "AI" is like letting tobacco companies set the narrative about the effects of second-hand smoke by measuring the health effects of sitting through one neighbor smoking one cigarette.
