Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

Yesterday’s New Year’s Concert with the Vienna Philharmonic will stay with me forever. I said on stage: “only with kindness comes peace”. Every note we play, every gesture we make, every moment we choose understanding over indifference, matters. May music continue to unite all of us. Happy New Year!

It's true that AI alignment is a double-edged sword, but not doesn't mean we should be "against" it
Rather we need to make sure, as consumers of AI, and as citizens of democracies that are regulating AI, that alignment is to the benefit of the people using it

My latest for @science.org: Researchers at Nokia Bell Labs have done something remarkable -- turned a submarine telecom cable in the Pacific Ocean into, in effect, an array of 44,000 (!) seismic sensors.
That's potentially DAS-like precision -- and it doesn't need its own dedicated fibers.

"Energy bills in US have increased 13% since Trump took office."
Why?
Trump cancelled 25,000 MWe of new (cheaper renewable) power plants, while demand is surging due to data centers and other uses, causing prices to rise and consumers to pay more.
