@Lee6 @Mr_GHARice well, that's probably why you look a bit scared in this photo. You should lead by example, Lee, and be fearless - after all, we all know how fast you can run 🤪

Regarding the AI safety debate, I found the concept of a 'Scientist AI' very enlightening, as detailed in a recent paper from Yoshua Bengio (arxiv.org/html/2606.29657v2), following earlier work. Here's the gist as I understand it. Some of the worry about AI (next to energy consumption […]

@joeinwynnewood let's not forget that he won the popular vote by a clear margin. By 2024 at the latest, everyone knew - and still knows - who and what Trump is, and yet he was elected. The outcome of the midterms is the last glimmer of hope that many of my friends and I still have.

#SilentSunday #Hiking #NaturePhotography #Tirol
A breathtaking high-altitude trail running scene captured from an elevated viewpoint looking down into a vast green mountain valley. In the foreground, a rocky, gravel-covered trail winds along a grassy ridge, where three hikers with backpacks are visible making their way along the path. Below them, the valley floor stretches out with a braided, rocky riverbed weaving through vibrant green meadows flanked by steep mountain slopes dotted with coniferous trees. Towering, jagged mountain peaks rise dramatically on both sides of the valley, their green slopes transitioning to rocky outcrops. Above, a dramatic sky of deep blue patches interspersed with large, billowing white and grey clouds creates a sense of openness and freedom. The image conveys the raw beauty and solitude of alpine hiking.

Breathtaking view of the Schöberspitze mountain rising majestically in the Tuxer Alps. The image captures the raw beauty of alpine terrain - verdant grassy slopes give way to dramatic grey rock faces and scree fields, all set against a dynamic sky of brilliant blue patches and billowing white clouds. A winding mountain path invites exploration through this stunning high-altitude landscape.Standing atop the Schober Spitze, the camera captures an expansive alpine vista on what appears to be a bright but partly cloudy day. A simple wooden marker post anchors the rocky summit foreground. Below and beyond, dramatic green mountain ridges cascade into deep valleys, their contours highlighted by dappled sunlight breaking through scattered clouds. The sky above is a vivid blue, filled with large, dramatic cumulus clouds that add a sense of vastness to this high-altitude scene.A breathtaking view of the Hohe Warte peak in the Tuxer Alps. A sharp, rocky summit rises majestically above rolling green mountain slopes in the foreground, where patches of sunlight illuminate alpine meadows and dense pine forests below. In the distance, layers of hazy blue mountain ranges stretch across the horizon beneath a partly cloudy sky. A delicate, faint rainbow arcs gracefully on the right side of the mountain peak, adding a magical touch to the dramatic landscape captured during what appears to be late afternoon light.A young man hikes uphill on a narrow, rocky mountain trail during a downpour. Seen from behind, he wears a blue cap, mustard-yellow rain and visibly wet jacket black shorts, and blue trail shoes, carrying a large black Ortovox backpack. Rain-slicked larch trees and lush green undergrowth line the path, while a misty mountain slope fades into the grey, rain-soaked sky beyond.
