They are chopping down forests near me in NY to build AI data centers. I can't even imagine what they're doing elsewhere in the world.
So my take is simpler: I like trees and I like breathing rather than AI.

Peter's Acronym of the Day:
"MATRIX HAWAII: PineAPPL interpolation grids with MATRIX"
I'm just going to screenshot the footnote describing this because it is too bizarre for me to explain. An absolutely psychotic set of choices were made. I fully support this.

Just found this fun footnote about terminology when used about the interior of the Earth (probably applies to exoplanets too) 🧪

I don't want to link the article to give them clicks, but I got an email about an AI article written about a paper of mine. MY paper is about a Neutrino Factory (which wasn't mentioned in their article) and the article, which was only about DUNE, was filled with inaccuracies.
