You enter the castle of the mad orange king. He looks at you with disdain. You approach to speak. Roll for charisma.

IUCN World Conservation Congress - starting this week - comes at a critical time where new AI tools leveraging Earth observations from ground to space have the potential to democratize and revolutionize monitoring, planning, and acting to conserve and restore nature.

The US satire cartoon show South Park secured a five-year deal worth $1.5β€―billion with Paramount Global. They began their season with this clip, challenging Trump to sue them.

That's where the front desk person should use AI to help explain the value of non-generative AI detection procedures for cancer detection (disclosure: I built those in the past - still in use over 15 years later!).

Trump is forcing this dirty, costly coal plant to stay open The White House is taking unprecedented actions to steer the power grid away from clean energy and toward more fossil fuels.

The Trump administration is taking unprecedented actions to steer the power grid away from clean energy and toward more fossil fuels, like reversing Michigan’s plan to retire an aging power plant, forcing it to remain open and continue burning coal.

So much of US Gov uses AWS that OpenAI needs to be a first class service on that cloud or risk getting left behind even if o1+ is better than Claude and friends.

Tomorrow we begin to learn how deep a hole the country is in 😬.

We’ll know a lot more once we see the Day 1 Executive Orders, and if the mass roundup of immigrants kicks off this week.

One good bet - price of eggs is not going down.

Good luck to us all.

Clearly, *something* has changed. In reality, many things have changed. Far more people today live in high fire risk zones than ever before. We removed beneficial fires (both natural ignitions & cultural burning) from the landscape. The climate has warmed, and the West has dried.

As a sociologist, I need to tell you why nothing feels good enough anymore. We're all chasing digital highs while feeling emptier than ever. Welcome to the Dopamine Economy.
