The subpolar North Atlantic is one region where the deep ocean is in direct contact with the atmosphere, making it a key site for ocean ventilation. Koelling et al., use a new data product to study North Atlantic ventilation in unprecedented detail 🌊

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.

But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.
Generative AI is a societal disaster
Governments are deluding themselves into believing investment justifies allowing AI to upend society

This false assertion about the ocean producing 50% of the oxygen we breathe is so widespread that @jpgattuso.bsky.social @bopplaurent.bsky.social and others have written about it here.
Humans will always have oxygen to breathe, but we can’t say the same for ocean life
We are not at risk of running out of oxygen due to climate change, but ocean creatures are – and that will harm the whole planet.

Not much attention is paid to the economics of deep-sea mining. It’s taken for granted that, whatever the ecological harms may be, the business case is sound.

Turns out that's not true. 🧪
