This. This. This ! Climate change is not about "Saving the planet". It's about saving OURSELVES. We should not do it out of pity for Gaia or whatever. We should do it our of fear.

Asteroid impacts

Super-greenhouse climate

Habitat loss, droughts, poison oceans...

LIfe always survives and re-diversifies.

Do we want to survive, too?

A battle for Reality, a thread.
"Project Stargate" has been announced by the USA. $500b for AI training facilities.

I am interested in continuing the work of Spartan Networks I left behind a few years ago, in #AI
These were DNN whose activation function differed in forward and backwards passes
Stay tuned, you may hear about them soon...
For those who are interested, the old paper : arxiv.org/pdf/1812.06815
