Science: "Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."

This is bad, but let's not pretend GenAI is some sort of groundbreaking science. It's a search aggregator.

It's a Marcov Chain for guessing the next word extrapolating from a given data set.

AI is not "machine intelligence." It isn't intelligence at all -- it isn't consciousness or even insect-level awareness. It is the Chinese Room with a randomizer that throws in weird shit sometimes for seasoning.

The closest analogy to it in nature is crystal growth from a seed.
 
More fun from the Ministry of Truth.

For the past month, the Trump administration, via NASA’s Acting Administrator Sean Duffy, has been directing NASA employees to implement workforce adjustments and plan for the shutdown of dozens of missions and programs slated for cuts under in the President’s Budget Request to NASA. Doing so ahead of a Congressionally-approved budget for fiscal year 2026 (FY26) is tantamount to illegal impoundment of federal funds appropriated for the current fiscal year (FY25), according to an 18 July letter to Duffy signed by 64 members of Congress.

Now, despite warnings that their actions are illegal, NPR reports that Duffy and other senior NASA officials have continued to secretly direct NASA employees to draw up plans to end at least two major satellite missions specifically designed to monitor global carbon dioxide. Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO)-2, a free-orbiting satellite, and OCO-3, which is attached to the International Space Station, are slated for defunding in the 2026 President’s Budget Request (PBR).

If you don't measure greenhouse gasses they don't exist.

NEWSMAX: CBS and CNN and others are attributing airplane turbulence to higher temperatures and climate change. Has this come across your desk? LEE ZELDIN: Listen, this is crazy. And it just doesn't pass any smell test for even the average layman in this country.

The country has been taken over by dumbfucks.
 
Nothing to see here, literally. The Astronomical Almanac Online, from the United States Naval Observatory, now isn't. It is the source I use for the angular separation of stars. Welp, there's always RCH.

The only sources that are still up are dead links from 2018 and 2013.

This is like Don't Look Up.
