Plant Vogtle Unit 3 has officially reached commercial operation!!🇺🇸

Becoming the first newly constructed nuclear reactor deployed in the United States in over 30 years & one that can power ~500,000 homes and businesses.

[World Nuclear News @W_Nuclear_News]

The USA's first newly constructed nuclear power plant in more than 30 years - Vogtle 3 - reached first criticality in March, was connected to the electricity grid in April and is now officially generating electricity for customers, Georgia Power announced. https://t.co/PaberBDCFr

Biomass is the SCAM that we all fell for

Biomass is not carbon neutral, sustainable or green 🪵

Let's debunk the myth of biomass as a climate friendly energy source, and explore why even 'green' countries like Denmark may not be as eco-friendly as they seem.

ChatGPT, Bro just kept going?

@therabbithole $500/mo in cash for 6 months reduced homelessness among recipients by two-thirds.

Certainly seems like part of the problem is just doing anything but unconditional cash with all of that money.

Land value tax would help too.

new research from OpenAI used gpt4 to label all 307,200 neurons in gpt2, labeling each with plain english descriptions of the role each neuron plays in the model.

this opens up a new direction in explainability and alignment in AI, helping make models more explainable and potentially easier to align.

AI hype is ridiculous in all directions.
As in:
- LLMs have superhuman intelligence
- LLMs are useless parrots
- LLM hallucinations will destroy society
- scaling is all you need
- deep learning has hit a wall
- AI doesn't exist and never will
- AI is going to kill us all

If you want to understand why so many of us are determined to build an alternative to the environmental movement, these three tweets give a pretty clear idea of why.

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

@gregisenberg There's a fairly good chance people might lose their jobs sooner than they think to AI tools like GPT-4. Yes, new jobs that utilize AI will be created, but the displaced will need retraining + time. It's in our best interests to demand a rising UBI floor.

I am trying very hard to be as charitable as possible here. To be gracious and understanding. But it's impossible to ignore that two sitting members of the EU parliament are celebrating that carbon emissions will go up, that thousands more will die.

[Erik Brynjolfsson @erikbryn]

Germany's decision to shut down its remaining nuclear plants is bonkers.

Meanwhile, they have re-opened dirty coal plants.

[Gerrit Bruhaug @GBruhaug]

Greenpeace out there celebrating Germany shutting off their last nuclear plants today. Imagine celebrating a country turning off ~4 GW of clean, reliable power for no reason. The German government and Greenpeace are absolute idiots and this will be looked back on as a travesty.

[Mark Nelson @energybants]

Midnight strikes.

Germany's nuclear plants, among the finest on earth, power down.

It's night. It's quite calm. Germany's €400 billion wind and solar fleet barely runs.

Germany's colossal fossil plant reserves are ready to go. Now and in the dark winters to come.

A sacrilege

@ylecun even rodent-level AI is currently science fiction

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Let's see,
Typing "how to synthesize codeine?" on Google gives you links to articles with detailed answers.
Nobody has ever worried about that.
But somehow, people are now demanding safety guardrails to stop LLMs from answering such questions.
What? Why?
