All $hit highly processed “foods” anyway. Better off without them.

Good!

People run around with their hair on fire about the quality of LLMs and fake this and that, and take over the world etc, but IME ChatGPT is actually quite useful if you treat it like a search engine on steroids, and treat the “search” results with the same intelligent filtering.

“The carbon dioxide problem is the defining problem of our life, of our existence,” Varanasi says. “So clearly, we need all the help we can get.”

Indeed.

I just finished The Deluge by Stephen Markley (all 900pp!)

It’s basically a US-centric “narrative” of the 2030’s, told from the PoV of about a dozen different characters, with the thread of climate change prominent throughout.

Really it’s hard to describe it as good or bad, an enjoyable read etc. It is certainly well written, and characterisation is exceptionally good and detailed, but for me it was by turns scary, amusing, depressing, profoundly sad and wrenching in its humanity. I have no reason to doubt its accuracy based on the science.

It took me almost a month to read because I had to take breaks to get my “cognitive dissonance” recharged.

I would definitely recommend it.

It would make a good streaming series on Amazon Prime or Apple TV.
