@vkhosla @PessimistsArc @ericschmidt Reporting from Greenpeace in 2021 alleged lobbying from large beef-exporting countries to get the IPCC to water down its recommendations on diet and climate change. The lobbying didn't work. The IPCC even published an entire report dedicated to the issue: https://t.co/fPZERfaHTo

@vkhosla @PessimistsArc @ericschmidt I'm a massive fan, @vkhosla, and am surprised at your flippant remark on the IPCC's "capture." A good heuristic on how the IPCC's reporting is perceived is the extent to which a diverse audience is unhappy with its findings. Let's look at a concrete example.

As a former U.S. diplomat, I really enjoyed #TheDiplomat on @netflix.

I’ve seen some reviews criticizing the unrealistic aspects of the show. Sure. But I actually think it gets a lot right. Here are my thoughts: (a🧵)

[Zed Tarar @zedtarar]

@lrozen Saw a 2 second shot of the embassy here in London in the trailer. At least the that’s accurate! Honestly though, imagining a career diplomat heading up the mission in the UK and not a campaign donor requires more suspension of disbelief than Star Trek.

AI and neural networks may seem new, but their foundations were laid in the 1940s. Today’s progress is a half century in the making.

How could AI change the business of diplomacy? ISD's @zedtarar explores this question and more in his new article for #TheDiplomaticPouch.

This article is part of two-part series on the cross-section between AI and diplomacy.
