How About Some AI With Your Bluesky?

A tale of two social networks.

Last week some enterprising Mastodon account was discovered to be scraping posts to feed to an AI for the purpose of helping people navigate the Fediverse. The response was swift. The alarm went out. The account was widely blocked and shunned.

Yesterday to great fanfare #Bluesky announced, as a new corporate feature, all posts would be scraped and an AI would now help users navigate the ATmosphere.

Viikonloppuna (huomenna) sarjakuva- ja pop-kulttuuritapahtuma Tampere Kuplii järjestetään 20. kerran. On ilmainen.

Jos on menossa niin kannattanee lähteä aikaisin: viime vuonna keskipäivän jälkeen jono kiersi useamman kerran Sorsapuiston läpi ennenkuin pääsi sisään.

I worked with a great team of collaborators to produce a uniquely long #paleoclimate record from #caves in northern #utah. We dated stalagmites to show that mountain #permafrost repeatedly expanded during glacial periods and disappeared during interglacials in sync with orbital climate cycles over the past ~600,000 years. These results provide rare long-term constraints on alpine permafrost sensitivity and help place modern permafost thaw into a deeper climatic context. The paper was published in Quaternary Research; if you do not have access and wish to get a copy, feel free to send me a private request.
