This 2018 tweet has been going constantly viral for the past week..it’s almost as if people have suddenly realised there’s some sort of connection 🧐

What if we could boil our entire global predicament down to just three variables? CO2 emissions. Economic growth. Material use. Inspired by @NJHagens, Future Pathways is now online updated with 2025 data. #climatechange open.substack.com/pub/bernardmcc…

We've installed 1,500 GW of solar panels worldwide. Then we forgot about them. Proper optimisation of existing systems could recover 280 TWh per year. #solar #solarenergy #solarpower open.substack.com/pub/bernardmcc…

Taking a break from howling into the void about #AI to concentrate on some #SciFi short stories. I've got a new one out today, I'd really appreciate a sharing it if you have a moment. So here it is, I hope you like it. #MarsNoir #NoirPunk #PunkFi open.substack.com/pub/bernardmcc…

FRANCE: farmers & environmental activists getting supplies to the workers striking against Michelin, the tyre-manufacturing company, that announced hundreds of layoffs 🔥 We need to put the industry under workers' control!

REVEALED: Just 2,500 farms own a QUARTER of the farmland in England Startling new stats I obtained from @DefraGovUK & shared with @DailyMirror show how unequal land ownership is in this country Large landowners must pay their fair share of tax 🧵1/ mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@VahidK Except "observe, hypothesize, and verify" isn't the scientific method - see Deutsch/Popper. What else have you misunderstood?

In my opinion we have already achieved AGI and it’s even more clear with O1. We have not achieved “better than any human at any task” but what we have is “better than most humans at most tasks”. Some say LLMs only know how to follow a recipe. Firstly, no one can really explain what a trillion parameter deep neural net can learn. But even if you believe that, the whole scientific method can be summarized as a recipe: observe, hypothesize, and verify. Good scientists can produce better hypothesis based on their intuition, but that intuition itself was built by many trial and errors. There’s nothing that can’t be learned with examples.

#ShareYourSolar We call all upon the energy companies to allow Solar owners to donate their exported energy to others who need help with their bills.

It’s old , and Australian , but it’s the same BS that will cost us £22billion . . . and all our futures .

In its literal form CCS is a fledging technology with a history of costly failure& quantitative irrelevance.But this technology interpretation has nothing to do with the £22bill. Here CCS is a rhetorical device for maintaining business-as-usual &delaying real-world emission cuts.

Many people have feared this for a long time, the reason you might not be expecting it is because the media and politics fails us every day… Wildfires are burning through humanity’s (supposed) carbon budget. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

@Telegraph Excellent. Time to get a real job and do something productive.

The chief executive of Zoopla's parent company has warned that pension funds and private equity will replace individual buyers. See what's behind the shift - and what the future might hold.

More rampant landlordism, renting our city back to us. Enough. "The proposed development would provide 550 build-to-rent homes" bbc.com/news/articles/…

It's amazing how many of the scams that have devastated our economy and everyday people owe their success to the fact that we assume that rich people know what they're doing, so if they're doing something, it must be real. 1/

You seeing this, @ElonMusk?

Last night the British people showed that we stand in solidarity against racist thugs. We kept peace on the streets. Ever the cowards, the far-right rioters slunk away home. So much for your "civil war", @elonmusk.

Are you watching @elonmusk? Do you understand the significance of these two particular papers standing with these huge crowds and overwhelming UK public opinion… …and against you & your bot army incitement of thugs to a “civil war”? My country is better than that. Learn it.

When the X-mob spills into the streets. My column explores how the far riots were stirred up by years of Tory hate-speech, augmented by the media (including the BBC) and, latterly, @elonmusk. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Anti-racism protesters have marched through the streets of Birmingham as rumoured far-right gatherings failed to materialise. A list circulating on social media suggested an immigration centre in the Jewelry Quarter would be targeted. @itvcentral
