javiThe AI industry is a grift so big that it's really hard to explain it to people not familiar with the tech industry.
Yes, Google is perfectly aware their AI-powered search is way worse than their "classic" mode.
Yes, Apple knows their integration with chatGPT is flaky and ads nothing useful to their products. And
They.
Don't.
Care.
Because the goal is not making their products better, the goal is to ride the hype wave so the investors are happy and their stock price keeps growing.
That's almost entirely what's powering the AI industry.
It's a multibillon dollar grift. One so big and so obvious that most people think they have to be missing something, that they don't understand something that makes everything to make it makes sense as a business.
No. That's everything. It's pure snake oil selling.

Santiago GassóNew commentary letter in Environmental Research Letters expressing views on new World Health Organization #airquality guidelines.
"As we show in the following paragraphs, because of atmospheric chemistry and meteorology, these new guideline values can be unattainably low for some pollutants, are too high for other pollutants, and may be jointly unattainable for a key pair of pollutants for some cities."
The OpenAQ Ambassadors program is a unique opportunity to to fight air inequality through a deep-dive in #AirQuality and atmospheric #science and #data from leading professionals in field. We got to deploy low-cost sensors from Clarity, AirGradient. and Atmo, developing hands on experience on particulate pollution monitoring and understanding the data in our personal environments.
After 8 years of work as a citizen scientist, I’m happy to finally announce that we will be establishing PAQI as a formal non-profit think tank dedicated to air quality research in Pakistan. We will soon announce open positions for air quality researchers.
The #wildfires in North America really put the world’s pollution problem in perspective: peak PM2.5 particulate matter pollution in NYC is the same as *annual average* in #LahoreSmog and New Delhi.

Met with @joshapte at @UCBerkeley and learnt about the wonderful #AirQuality research being done around #geospatial data and #lowcost sensors. Looking forward to deploying some of Project #Samosa in #Pakistan.

One example of this civic action is the #PeaceVigil right across the @WhiteHouse that was instrumental in creating regulation for the #NuclearDisarmamentAct. Could such civic action be effective in creating environmental #regulations in Pakistan?
