“We were surprised to learn that when developers stop coding and use AI that overall they get slower at solving problems”.
Why is this so counter intuitive to most people?
Because most people deeply misunderstand intellectual work.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

If you're at Dynamic Days Europe, come tomorrow 24.6. to Room F at 3 pm! I'll be presenting results of the CoBra group (ICS-CAS) about "Chasing Exotic Connectivity Patterns in Brain Activity Dynamics".

Google's AI Overviews must create entirely new information in response to a search query. That costs an estimated *30 times* more energy than simply extracting information from a source through a traditional search. 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/what... by @parshallison.bsky.social
What Do Google’s AI Answers Cost the Environment?
Google is bringing AI answers to a billion people this year, but generative AI requires much more energy than traditional keyword searches

Hey, look, yet another campus settling this peacefully.
It's almost like the university presidents that called in armed police to their campuses to handle their own students made an incredibly stupid mistake and should be forever banned from leading an educational institution.

It won't get the attention it deserves because it happened here and it's decidedly un-sensational, but the UWM administration's response to our student encampment is an object lesson in the virtues of restraint and non-escalation, and should be a national model
UW-Milwaukee strikes deal with pro-Palestinian protesters to take down encampment
Protesters have until Tuesday morning to take down the tents. They also agreed not to disrupt commencement, which will be held May 19.

Sure, AI is being used to scam people and cheat at school, but on the bright side, armies can also use it for murder

We are calling bullshit. Any scientist in any field still in any way supporting the Israeli regime has lost all scientific credibility.
We accidentally hit three specific cars spread out along 2.4 kilometers of road
“Unintentional” in the sense of “on purpose, deliberately, with clear intent.”

Galicia, NW Spain. *All* over Europe, mountains retain their natural cloak of trees.
By contrast, in Ireland they're shaved bare by too many grazing animals, especially sheep.
As a society, the choice is ours: to remain bereft of nature, or to allow it return through rewilding.
