Just got done talking about space data centers on @newsnation.bsky.social. TLDR: constellations this large are probably too difficult to build for any company, and the amount of material that they’d introduce to the stratosphere would be pretty bad for the planet. That’s assuming they burn up.
I did my lecture on AI, climate, and policy this week in this @climatechangeai.bsky.social series. I talked about how energy decisions as a foundational input to AI, are one of the only ways the public feel they have a voice in an uncertain future. Highly recommend the rest of this lecture series:

here’s a thread on how to be cool and have policy impact, don’t make policymakers guess what the results of your scholarship is by making them read your paper, they won’t bsky.app/profile/cost...
Costa SamarasWays that researchers can improve the likelihood their outputs will have policy impact include but are not limited to: • Don’t publish in a predatory/low-quality journal • Make work open access or otherwise available • Summarize findings in the title and abstract (please!) • Talk about the work
Early career scholars (it’s too late for senior scholars), please don’t do the joke titles, and say, “I learned it from watching you, costa!” bsky.app/profile/cost...
Costa SamarasYou should introduce whimsy and joy in every part of your life EXCEPT your journal paper title. Some senior academics modeled this and I can’t stress enough how making a policymaker guess your fun riddle title results in them ignoring you
everyone is allowed one pun as a title paper in their career and here’s mine bsky.app/profile/cost...
