A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

In thisa piece for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social I express the wish for a better level of public discourse around AI that doesn't leave us hanging on every word of the alleged tech gurus. www.thenewworld.co.uk/philip-ball-...

Apocalyptic AI fantasies are a stupid, annoying distraction from its real problems

The people who work in AI are not gurus and most of their predictions have been wrong. Working in the industry makes them less reliable commentators, not more

I am in academia only because and till the time it is fun for me. For some people, the thrill of competition may be fun, but all I want to do is sit down with like-minded people and work on interesting problems. Not to beat someone else, but because those problems are interesting to us. [1/2] 🧪⚛️

🌕🌒Early tomorrow morning, between 4.33 am and 6.52 am, there will be a partial #lunareclipse. At its peak (at 6.12 am), 96% of the Moon will be in the Earth’s shadow, giving it a coppery colour.

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by vigorous convection in the outer core through a process called the geodynamo. We simulate this process on big supercomputers and can reproduce a lot of the features of the Earth's magnetic field! 🧪⚛️⚒️⛰️🌏

Picture shows the Earth's surface as transparent and cut-out from 0 to 90 deg longitude. Inside is shown convecting outer core colored with temperature. The whole picture has magnetic field lines going through tracing roughly a dipole on the outside and complex shapes inside the outer core where dynamo generation takes place.

☀️🌑The #solareclipse on 12 August 2026 will be visible in #Belgium as a partial eclipse. Seen from here, the Moon will cover 90% of the Sun. ℹ️ In Brussels, it will begin at 7.18 pm, reaching its peak at 8.13 pm. Make sure to find a spot with a clear view of the western horizon to watch it.

The Sun nearly totally covered by a black disk, showing only part of it on the right.

A gas giant planet like #Jupiter can 'pulsate' at many different frequencies. We call them 'eigenmodes'. This is how one such #eigenmode might look like. They can be excited by the tidal pull of Jupiter's moons as they orbit the #planet. I will present this work at #EPSC2026 🧪 🔭

a panel showing the amplitude of a pulsation in a gas giant planet in three different directions (radial, north-south, and azimuthal). Blue is no motion, red is max motion. The pattern of the pulsation motion is symmetrical across the equator, and it's a bit checkered-like, with some voids too, forming what I think are beautiful patterns.

See the alternating warm and cold patches in the Northern mid-latitudes? That's the imprint of a quasi-stationary Rossby wave (i.e. oscillations in the jet stream). It's rare to see it so clearly in a monthly-average temperature map.

No. And no actual experts believe so. There are many ethical concerns around AI, but this really isn’t one of them. I do have ethical concerns about the hucksters trying to sell us on AI consciousness, though.

Walking around the #mountains I came across the rock that inspired #Magritte 's "Le Château des Pyrénées" #art

Picture of a large boulder, seemingly in mid air over a grassy field in the mountains. There's a person standing on the grass. There are clouds behind the boulder.
In reality this is a picture of a rock on a lake, but upside down.

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

An illustration of the Fellowship, reimagined with Chinese-style period outfits.

An illustration of armors of Gondor, Rohan, and Rivendell Elves, reimagined using different periods of Chinese armors as concepts. On the top right are three side profiles of Rohan man, Gondorian, and Elf with different Chinese hairstyles. On the bottom right is Aragorn's banner redrawn with Chinese influence.

A concept art of Bag End reimagined as Chinese court houses, with tall stone gates, round wooden doors, curved roofs, and open courtyard, nestled in a hill.

A concept art of Rivendell in the style of Chinese painting. Next to it are several props drawn in Chinese style such as Fellowship brooch based on gingko leaves, lembas in the shape of mooncake, Elfstone as round jade, Galadriel's phial in a green jade bottle, and shards of Narsil.

AI will just produce what it's prompted to. It will treat everything and anything as significant. But ... it mostly isn't. So we get manuscripts of superficial sophistication that report little of consequence. It's just clutter and cacophony, but styled enough that it could pass peer review. 5/
