In 2024 they decided they were were going to call LLM 'AI' even though all it does is rehash information made by humans and add a few pre-programmed commands. There is no intelligence to it, it is not sentient in any sense and because of how it is built it cannot be. Stop falling for their lies.

I am a scientist – and the answer is climate change. Yes, there is nuance. Yes, it could take a long time to identify the precise mechanisms. But there is no question why ice and snow-related disasters are on the rise. Our planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and humans are responsible.

I don’t think I need to repeat this again, but for those in the back: adaptation has all sorts of limits, financial, political, social and also practical. Ghg reduction AND better development are critical too. Oh yes, did we call this climate resilient development in the @ipcc.bsky.social AR6? Yep.
