Really interesting story here. You know how the hyperscaler cowboys are powering their data centers with gas turbines? It turns out the demands of AI are not very friendly to those turbines. They're supposed to last 5+ years & instead they're wearing out in under 12 months!
Harriet WeberHere's the deal with the pre-review study Tesla funded on turbine carnage. This is my first piece on the Data Centers Breaking Things beat. TLDR; AI training is wearing out, even breaking, a critical source of energy for AI training www.investors.com/news/turbine...
In the upcoming super El Niño, researchers are expecting significant disruption to many Pacific Ocean fish fleets. Here’s why it matters https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2026-07-29/record-breaking-el-nino-could-gut-californias-crab-salmon-fleets?utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky_
TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.
right, operation warp speed was basically the one thing he ever did that provided some genuine public benefit and it became such a liability with his base that he completely disavowed it and handed HHS over to the antivax industrial complex
Melissa. Just Melissa.Especially weird that the vaccine was the one positive thing Trump could credibly take some credit for, but instead... this.
Thunderstorms with severe wind gusts and hail will be possible this afternoon and evening in the northern Plains. Severe wind gusts will also be possible today across southern Georgia and northern Florida, as well as the Great Basin/northern Intermountain West. Visit weather.gov for more.
I wonder why the party of toxic masculinity, PUAs, and white (male) supremacy has such a domestic abuse problem. (Narrator: he does not wonder.)
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸“Ms. Moreno, the daughter of Senator Moreno ... has said that Mr. Miller scalded her chest and stomach by throwing hot water from a skillet at her body; held a gun to her head; pushed her against a wall and hit her head; and fractured their daughter’s collarbone and bruised her shoulder. ...
A Carrington Event would be absolutely devastating. And there ain’t much we can do about it.
WIREDScientists have long assumed that there’s an upper limit to the intensity of the solar winds that reach Earth. New research suggests there’s not—and the implications are alarming. www.wired.com/story/an-ext...
I once again will hop on my soapbox - be more precise with our language around AI. Machine learning has a lot of good and even great applications. And you don't have to burn down the planet to run them. In fact, some cases even save on computational power (looking at you, weather models).
Emily JohnstonYou know what this ISN'T? An LLM. Once more for the folks in the back: nearly all of the actually useful, genuinely promising things that AI can do for us have nothing to do with LLMs & planet-devouring data centers. Hope, not hype. Serving us, not serving us up to Big Tech. @sciam.bsky.social
