I'm a researcher primarily in adaptation. We are not even adapted to where the climate is today.

If you think you can seawall your way through a 4°C planet, you are straight up dreaming.

Mitigation AND adaptation, or you end up with way more of option 3 for dealing with climate change: suffering.
I’m am adaptation scientist and here’s what I had to say about this—many years ago already.

Remember when we were arguing about the term "foundation models"? It feels like ages ago! With those base models culminating in DeepSeek v3 in Dec 2024, 2025 will likely be the year of LLM specialization!

Anyway, I will be writing about it more soon :).

My GPU has 45 billion transistors in it.

Like, we have this magic rock that we carved 45,000,000,000 miniature switches on it to create images of worlds that do not exist on a screen.

We really, really not appreciate enough how insanely magical technology is.

Just had to post this because it seems so appropriate for anyone in DC right now.
