AI could consume 40% of all data center electricity by the end of the year and will soon surpass bitcoin mining in power consumption. Companies like Google are revising their net zero greenhouse emissions target dates.

Really pleased that this paper from my PhD has been published in Nature Scientific Reports!

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We used mixed reality to explore how manipulating multisensory integration leads to dis-ownership from the body and how those experiences relate to trait dissociation
Trait dissociation is associated with dissociative experiences arising from disrupted multisensory integration - Scientific Reports

BREAKING: We’ve WON a historic case against the Rosebank & Jackdaw oil & gas fields. 🎉

This is GAME-CHANGING.
