"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits."

Vaccine skeptic is not a thing, in the same way that climate change skeptic is not a thing. They’re science deniers and they’re gonna get a lot of people killed.

Your war machine and greed have left no place in the world untouched. #noIranWar
This morning, the only country to ever use nuclear bombs on cities, alongside the only one with undeclared nukes outside the NPT, dropped the world’s biggest bomb on a state with no nuclear weapons, under the strictest monitoring, and a signatory of the NPT. #noIranWar

Two circular maps of Europe from the "European State of the Climate Report 2024" by the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service. The left map shows temperature anomalies and extremes in 2024, with most of Europe shaded in red tones indicating warmer to much warmer than average temperatures. The right map displays precipitation anomalies and extremes in 2024, with much of western and central Europe in shades of blue indicating wetter than average conditions, while eastern regions show brown shades representing drier conditions. Colour scales at the bottom of each map range from "coolest" to "warmest" (left) and "driest" to "wettest" (right).
In 2024, Europe was the world’s fastest-warming continent.
It had its hottest year on record, impacting an estimated 413,000 people. Sea surface temperatures also reached new highs.
As our planet heats up, urgent action is more critical than ever.

Great connecting at @ecmwf.int Annual Meeting! Presented my poster on historical land cover & LAI reconstruction in CERISE with AI/ML 🌍🌱. Excellent discussions on how this foundations @projectconcerto.eu & @terradt.bsky.social ! Looking forward to building on this.
Look who is here in @ecmwf.int ancillary data for land surface and earth system modelling workshop! @projectconcerto.eu 🤩
