Why is every piece of news out of the USA especially but also just in general further evidence we're right? 🥲
“Ultimately, the collective strategy of AI companies threatens to deskill precisely those people who are essential for society to function(…) automation of knowledge and culture by private companies is a worrying prospect – conjuring dystopian and outright fascistic scenarios.” — @olivia.science
AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education
Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

With all the recent intense rainfall, many parts of the woods are gloriously full of water.
The forests, bogs, + other wild habitats we've removed once retained colossal amounts of water, preventing flooding downstream.
Between that and climate breakdown, we're creating a perfect storm for floods.

I do not usually go for close portraits but when the light is right and the bird is close enough you take the shot. Sometimes simple works best

Just woke up from a social media pause and the first thing I see is an incredible footage of a sperm whale casually cruising with a giant squid in its mouth ??

Six months planning a dream puffin trip… and the island was lost in fog. What felt like failure became one of my favorite wildlife shots. 🐦🌊

Puffin Photography in the Fog - Machias Seal Island
Six months of planning led me to a fog‑shrouded island and a day that didn’t go as planned. This is the story of finding beauty in the unexpected — and the shots I almost left behind.

This is literally the “man behind the curtain” metaphor 🤦♂️
So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.
If true, then fucking yikes.

blue whales are going eerily silent and scientists say it's a warning sign. their songs have significantly dropped as the ocean warms and their food disappears. with krill collapsing, they spend more time searching and less time singing. the ocean is collapsing, and so are its giants.
Blue whales are going eerily silent—and scientists say it’s a warning sign
A six-year study off California’s coast shows how marine heat waves and noise pollution are silencing the ocean’s largest singers. Does saving the ocean start with hearing it?
