wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
"Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change," a brief communication in the journal Nature Climate Change. There's a map showing regions of the world, and pie charts of relevant studies as they apply to different health impacts like "heat-related deaths" and "maternal and child health"

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”

Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

The Trump Administration is undoing protections for 60 million acres of pristine wilderness across the country, including 2 million right here in Oregon. This is an incredibly shortsighted and backward decision.
Trump officials plan to remove protections on 2 million acres of national forests in Oregon • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule would open up 58 million acres of national forest land across the country to logging and development.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

ChatGPT, etc. Please don't use ChatGPT or other forms of "generative AI" in this course. ChatGPT makes things superficially easier, but in doing so, it prevents you from learning and retaining things. On top of that, even short periods of regular ChatGPT use are rotting your brains, and the rapid spread of these AI assistants is killing the planet (see module 2 and inter alia), which is facing enough problems already. Presumably, you have signed up for this class because you are interested in learning about certain topics. The best way to do that is by struggling with the texts yourself, engaging with your teacher and your peers to understand the different concepts and arguments, and using your own brain to come up with an original take on the topics we will discuss.

I’m teaching a class in which my students learn how to put together a research proposal. I was wondering if any of you have any successful proposals that wouldn’t mind sharing with me so I can use it as an example in class? It doesn’t matter what year they were approved or where. Thank you!! 🌎🗺️🌍

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.
