From what I see, AMS isn't in this greedy cycle. They don't operate the journals as money makers (but they do have to break even and pay their staff to maintain quality and that seems to be missed by this!) #science

This is quite disturbing- I know LLMs are a problem but the extent they discovered is really concerning for science

Anyone know what time to look for aurora tonight? I was planning to head to a more rural part of town for less light pollution.

Alan has it right - we had NOTHING to do with "climate hysteria" and the sudden inability to focus on trustworthy AI for weather is only going to hurt us. We need to find a way to fund this critical research!
NPR ran a story last night about NSF terminating funding for AI focused meteorology research & the (IMO) insane explanation they got from OMB. I shared my perspective on this and our continued insistence to shoot ourselves in the foot when it comes to scientific R&D. tinyurl.com/2kzujwz8
Trump Administration confirms that NSF AI meteorology institute funding cut because of "climate hysteria"
Ending of NOAA billion dollar climate disaster tracking another example of us becoming less prepared for a future affected by climate change.

Anyone know an editor at “discover sustainability” a nature journal? They have signed me up to do a review that I did not agree to and they refuse to do anything but send me reminders every day. I have emailed them three times at the official address. Help!

This is AI2ES, my AI institute. No way around it other than to say this is really awful. We are doing so many amazing things! We want to keep doing amazing things but without this level of funding, we will not be able to do so.
Another blow to meteorological R&D this morning, as it was confirmed that NSF is terminating funding for its main weather and earth science focused AI research institute led by the Univ. of Oklahoma. Also - a LOT of weather to talk about, especially in the West. More: https://tinyurl.com/mr2znbdb

This was the other fun surprise on the south oval last night, apparently OU has a new robot lawnmower! We didn’t get to see it in action, but it’s quite large! Schnauzers for scale!
