What a weird take.
The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Hey everyone, is there a literature (can be grey) discussing the ethics of using #generativeAI in #conservation and-or #ecology? I have to persuade some folks to consider the “darker” side of it and some authoritative/academic sources would really help. Thanks for any links.

this gets at the difference between statistical significance and clinical significance, and sample size and baseline risk as they affect interpretation.
Since when is a 19% drop in adverse cardiac events and an 18% in mortality not clinically significant??

This is an *amazing* level of derangement about generative AI.
We are headed for weird anti-AI purity movements where ppl turn on personal computing entirely and start LARPing as Dune mentats, because they think the magic fascism math is hiding in every transformer, search algorithm, and BART.
