I dag skriver jeg i Dagsavisen om norsk klima- og oljepolitikk, som i 30 år har blitt forsøkt adskilt fra hverandre. Norge kan ikke bare betale Brasil for å la skogen stå, vi må også la olje ligge.

Norge ut av oljetåka
I 35 år har norsk klimapolitikk blitt underordnet oljepolitikken. Denne høsten har de rødgrønne en sjanse til å peile ut en tryggere kurs.

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.
The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Furthermore I am more convinced that the real AI breakthrough is the attention concept (attention being all you need from the famous paper) - the ability to do data-driven model discovery. LLMs are just one place where this attention scheme is powerful. There are many more.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.
