neutrino observatories must be one of the most eerily beautiful structures humans have ever built

I know, I know, we live in an age of over-certainty and extreme cynicism—but I still find it fascinating to watch people dismiss any criticism of AI companies, however nuanced, as outright "doomerism." I’m just as bewildered by those who still claim AI is just hype. 🧵

@Lescarpenter A legendary run. Excited for what’s next.

The best entry on Petrov is in encyclopedia Brittanica which says, “He is survived by his two children, two grandchildren and the entire human race.”

For the past few months, I’ve been working on a big story about climate attribution research.

This is the science that purports to link specific oil companies to extreme weather events.

It’s the research that states and counties and cities all over America are using in the lawsuits that they’ve filed against the fossil fuel industry.

The plaintiffs in these cases are asking for enormous damages—tens of billions of dollars, in many instances—and my story is about whether this (new-ish) field of research will be able to bear the scrutiny of that kind of high-stakes litigation.
