I can't stop looking at the images taken by ISS astronauts during the Nov 11-13 G4 event. Here, I have taken a screenshot from Jonny Kim's video showing a SAR arc detached from the main auroral oval.

Reading a 1950 Annual Review of social psychology, and struck by the extended discussion of the "failure of the polls" vis a vis 1948 presidential election (Famous "Dewey Beats Truman" photograph). Time is a flat circle.

Two years into the AI boom, it's imperative we understand the true power of "AGI"—as a narrative tool useful for winning investment, talent and headlines.
My report for AI Now details how OpenAI used the story of a rising AI that will replace humans to replace the need for an actual business model.

Today, we published an article by @bcmerchant.bsky.social arguing that OpenAI is leaning on a flimsy presentation of AGI as its eventual business model––despite the lack of evidence it is a real possibility, or a viable profit pathway.

One of these craters is not like the others! It was made by the impact of the 3rd stage of the Saturn V, which launched Apollo 13 towards the Moon. Can you see the crater with the S-IVB?
