Primates and why they are important! A short video to learn how #primates are connected to their ecosystems! 🧪 #science #primatology #BioAnth

New England Primate Conservancy@neprimateconsrv.bsky.social · yesterday

Why do primates matter? And why is protecting them vital to the health of our planet? From their influence on forest growth to their connection with people and ecosystems around the world, this short video answers the big question: Why primates? youtu.be/8LrfdTTddR8

So true! Decentralized #AI can lead to models built fairly, honestly and also precisely for the task needed. It's the obvious evolution of this technology but they will not profit from it. So, of course it's wrong! 🧪 #science #data

Christian Stöcker@christianstoecker.de · 10h ago

One of the greatest fears the AI bros have is not „human extinction“, but that people/companies might one day just run their own models locally without giving OpenAI et al. access to their entire life and data and money on top. Because then the bubble pops.

By my napkin math, total Bell Labs research expenditures from 1930-1980 were on the order of $50 billion in 2026 dollars. AI companies have spent ~$1 trillion so far: The equivalent of ~20 Bell Labs histories. In its history, Bell Labs researchers discovered the transistor, the solar cell, the laser

On the colour of penguin poop 🐧💩 and environmental change! It's worth a few minutes of your attention! 🧪 #science #zoology #ecology #ClimateChange

Penguins are pooping pink – and when viewed from space, that’s giving scientists a new way to track how Antarctica’s climate is changing.

Differently from a person, #AI is not accountable for its mistakes, you are! So, don't give it tasks you cannot check, because, when it goes wrong, you'll look like an idiot and all you'll receive is a hasty apology from the algorithm! 🧪 #science

Your monthly reminder that if you're using ChatGPT to do your science, you're failing your colleagues, community, and all of us. Here, ChatGPT makes up data and presents it as the real thing — then apologizes when confronted.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

#Tech is used to spy people! The weird thing is that it sounds like a conspiracy theory but it's just capitalism doing exactly what you'd expect to squeeze #data out of you! 🧪

Your television could be spying on you: Samsung televisions reportedly collect audio data on their environments, regardless of whether or not the units have a microphone. The audio data is then transferred to Samsung’s AI product “Bixby.”

Greta Thunberg comes out to support Lula "If Bolsonaro wins, it will be a disaster for the entire planet... Latin America is not for sale. The eyes of the world are on you Brazil, we are counting on you."

To use #science for evil is a deliberate choice! Eventually, people will suffer because of the billionaires' poor judgement and psychopathy, and the unwillingness of our leaders. But hey, can't wait for the next time I hear "science shouldn't be political"! 🧪

Kudos to NBC New York for saying it without equivocation: "The US is to blame for the world falling behind in the fight against climate change."

The govt itself has admitted Jackdaw won't bring down energy bills or create many jobs. So I asked the PM: does Labour disagree with the overwhelming scientific consensus that fossil fuels must stay in the ground? Or was lobbying from the oil and gas lobby simply too difficult to ignore?
