For about 10 years, I have been buying cut forests in Massachusetts and working to plant and restore native trees. 🌲 They slowly grow into a canopy and mitigate the invasive species. Animals return. All together, I estimate we're sinking about 1000 tones of CO2 per year now.
I really enjoyed Jane Buchan on Wealthtrack.
She explains alternative investments so well.
Great education for investors.

In software and AI, there is a lot of talk of "digital twins".
These are simulations that allow AIs to learn before acting in real life. Think of the software digital twin as an imagination. It's a world where AI can learn and consider lots of alternate possibilities.

There is not enough electricity production in the US. But the solution is not to shut down data centers; instead, charge progressive rates: cheap for households with small demand, and more if you consume a lot. Solve the problem with better incentives.

We all believe in hallucinations, and none of us knows for certain which beliefs are wrong. We do our best to learn and approach the complete truth over our lifetimes. AI sometimes hallucinates, too, and it's hard to know when you can trust it.

It apologizes way too much, tells me that I should be frustrated, then becomes super overconfident and does a bad job of fixing bugs.
