"It’s now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C (2.7°F), without immediate & deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.” – #IPCC Working Group III Co-Chair Jim Skea

THREAD: The evolution of Pokémon cards through history, as generated by DALL·E 2
For starters, here’s what DALL·E 2 thinks 21st century Pokémon cards look like, using prompts like “A Pokémon card from 2001”
This is at 1.2°C . What is considered a relatively safe level of warming. Since we are not reducing emissions we are fully on course for 2.0°C, possibly 2.5°C. We can then fully expect it will get, much, much, much worse. we are not treating this as the emergency it is.
give each pixel a random Pokemon type, and then battle pixels against their neighbors, updating each pixel with the winning type (using the Pokemon type chart)
we quickly see areas of fire > water > grass > fire, electric sweeping over, ground frontiers taking over etc etc
I am excited to share a new study led by Shachar Givon & @MatanSamina w/ Ohad Ben Shahar: Goldfish can learn to navigate a small robotic vehicle on land. We trained goldfish to drive a wheeled platform that reacts to the fish’s movement (https://t.co/ZR59Hu9sib).
