Thank you to all who continue to participate in the greatest policy debate in modern history. I’m going to respond to this thread with some frequently asked questions so we can focus our efforts on more productive conversation.
strangers are fighting to the death in my menchies over this pretty innocuous take and slinging devastating counterarguments like “what if I had to run away from a murderer” and “I like speeding”
one of my longstanding takes is that car manufacturers should be forced to install mandatory speed limiters in every new vehicle and people react to that like I'm advocating to strip them of their right to free speech

this observation about AI is worth underscoring. AI registers in the public consciousness as a social/political project centered around labor (eg via data theft and precaritization) more than anything else (eg ML). that's the social phenomenon of AI, and this conflation NPR does is not super helpful
This is a legitimate scientific revolution in meteorology.
Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

Meteorologists are surprised that the weather model that did the best job forecasting hurricanes this year was a new one, introduced by Google. AI may be the beginning of a new era of forecasting. n.pr/49MFa1M
