"Frequently the failure is not related to AI itself, but rather that companies are terminally bad at running software projects effectively. AI projects are subject to all the failure modes of normal projects plus you can get everything right and then still fail because of the method's novelty." 👏👏👏

Los datos de la @aemet.es no dejan lugar a dudas: esto no es solo "mal tiempo", es la crisis climática. La inacción nos cuesta vidas y biodiversidad. Hay que poner fin a los combustibles fósiles y exigir a los gobiernos medidas drásticas de mitigación y adaptación urgentes.

🧵 El verano de 2026 por ahora (junio-julio) es el más cálido de la serie histórica en España, que arranca en 1961. ➡️ Con una temperatura media de 24,5 ºC, supera en 0,7 ºC a los bimestres junio-julio más cálidos, los de 2022 y 2025. Es 2,9 ºC más cálido que el promedio 1991-2020.

Leading with compassion and honesty is insanely difficult. Taking risk while accepting accountability requires strength that is genuinely soul destroying. But it’s the only way. It is the only way. Find your strength. You will get things wrong and you will pay for it. But you will keep trying. 👊❤️

“The climate emergency kills,” he said on Monday. “And that’s why it’s not enough to address the consequences, which we do; what we have to do is reduce its causes, anticipate its effects, and, consequently, better prepare our country to protect people’s lives.”

"Our role as academics is to protect this one institution. This is why we receive tax money; why we're basically civil servants. The role of the university is even lost on many, so bears repeating: produce knowledge and educate at the highest level. AI destroys both at their core"

If useful, here's my attempt to process my feelings about how I feel sadly kinda — or rather very — sick from all this AI fascist nonsense as an academic. 😶‍🌫️ I'd be pleased if even one person finds something useful because there's something to be said for processing this all together, so, um, enjoy?

“Chevron just announced its highest quarterly earnings ever. Shell clocked its second-highest quarterly profits. And while ExxonMobil's profits came in beneath what Wall Street analysts had expected, it still managed to double its earnings compared with this time last year.“ Tax them into oblivion.🤬

Oil companies report sky-high profits thanks to wartime crude prices

Chevron reported its highest quarterly earnings ever. Shell had its second-biggest quarter, and ExxonMobil doubled its earnings compared with the same time last year.

Nadie dijo que fuera a ser fácil ser un país soberano en este mundo averiado. Menudo espectáculo el de nuestros “socios” europeos, tan carentes de razón como de solidaridad. Menuda bajeza la de nuestra derecha. Y qué ganas nos tienen los autócratas y los tiranos. No van a poder con España.

Enrique Santiago@enriquesantiago.bsky.social · 5d ago

La ultraderecha italiana (Meloni) impulsa la ofensiva del fascismo europeo contra España. ¿Donde está el apoyo de la UE? La operación de desestabilización de EEUU, Israel y Marruecos es asumida sin rechistar por Vox y PP, plegados a intereses extranjeros. Son unos vendepatrias.

It feels many only know my work pushing back against AI, which is very fair — but I have a broader research interest, which also forms a protective belt against such forces, as well as being what I have been thinking about since discovering "cognitive science" in ~2006: 🍃 metatheory.space 1/

The reputation-laundering operation known as AlphaFold has been shut down. It changed culture in damaging ways, and similar protein-structure packages carry the mantle of black-box short-cuts that break the "chain of custody of why", offloading labor to often-haphazard and de-emphasized validation.

The "chain of custody of why" is a load-bearing element of science. In numerical solutions of PDE (as in fluid and structural mechanics), the modern practice of verification (solving the equations right) and validation (solving the right equations) as distinct emerged from painful epistemic flailing

100% yes on the social dimension, many people can't/won't run images through watermark-checking systems in many contexts i just also want to point out that engineers love antisocial puzzles, and engineers have been working on this particular "generate a watermark defeater" puzzle for some time now.

Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d ago

Google's statement that it includes a watermark that can identify them as AI-generated is completely braindead as to how disinformation works. You think people spending literally three seconds to derail a discussion give a shit about that? This is so easy to abuse www.404media.co/google-earth...

Asked for comment, Google pointed 404 Media to a tweet the company posted on Thursday. “We take misinformation seriously – every image created with Nano Banana in Google Earth includes the SynthID digital watermark, so if someone is unsure about an image, they can ask the Gemini app or use Lens in Search to see if the image was AI-generated. In addition, we prevent image creation on harmful topics and are continually updating our protections,” it read. This of course ignores the very obvious fact that plenty of people do not bother to verify themselves if an image is real or not. People spreading misinformation also often don’t care about eventually getting caught; they can cause a massive amount of damage to a certain conversation very quickly before anyone calls them out for their bullshit.

As I prepare to turn off my laptop for a couple of weeks ahead of some paid time off, I can't stop thinking about how fast the first half of 2026 went by. A bit too much conference travel, if you ask me...
