The inexorable materiality that's been
Dragged into existence by dreams of AGI
Backpropagates through an imperial state capitalism
That obsesses about supply chain control and rare earth minerals
Amidst the collapse of a so-called rules-based order

[notes for a talk]

Yes, today’s forecast was largely a bust. No bones about it. The model forecasts were predicted on there being breaks in the clouds and enough sunlight to heat up and destabilize the atmosphere, which obviously didn’t happen. But, forecasters thought (as did I) that wind shear at peak levels would compensate for that, and again, that didn’t happen either.

There have been a lot of swings and misses in the last two years from the forecast models, and I lay a lot of blame on this regime gutting NOAA’s budget, laying off hundreds of NOAA employees, defunding weather research, and ordering the military not to share satellite data with NOAA. You can’t have that happen and expect forecast quality not to suffer.

I mean, this would work better for me.

Also not on the news: In Farragut Square in #WashingtonDC somebody painted an #Epstein "Walk of Shame" for elites and billionaires in the files.

Are you a current or former Education Dept. employee?

Have information about civil rights investigations or discrimination in schools?

Reach out to reporter Jennifer Smith Richards on Signal at jsmithrichards.93 or Jodi S. Cohen at jodireporter.88.

so 3 courts + US Copyright Office say you cannot copyright nor patent anything made primarily with LLMs because automata aren't human.

#SCOTUS won't review these rules because copyright is meant to protect human creations, not software or automata.

this may mean #AWSlop #Microslop are “de-copyrighting” & “de-patenting” their own proprietary software as they let automata “code” 🧐
