A lot of Altman interviews touch on job losses from this tech, which will obviously accelerate as it advances.
I think he knows what they unleashed here. (It was bound to happen anyway so this is not about him or OpenAI really) so his investment in UBI research comes as no surprise at all. Itâs like he is trying to âcover his assâ as this piece mentions https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/21/the-non-profits-accelerating-sam-altmans-ai-vision/amp/
I think the minute the custom feeds and algorithms go live the experience will change dramatically. (this is coming soon) 
One aspect of #CimateLiteracy is understanding what to expect in the area you live as we continue to heat and then make contingency plans for adaptation.
The WMO is advocating for an early warning system and some of the recently launched satellites will go a long way in helping with this system.
Right now parts of Asia and India in particular and Canada have been hit by early heatwaves that are putting large numbers of vulnerable people at risk.
Our climate models are useful but events are moving faster than we anticipated which requires almost real-time warning systems to be dramatically improved and invested in.

May heat records tumble in Pacific Northwest and western #Canada

This is actually pretty cool. So a social "rss reader" is you will
So they have started tracking #CycloneFabien in the South Indian Ocean.
General direction #Mauritius.
It would be super strange if it reached them as cyclone season ends March/mid-April but who knows in a world where ocean heat records are off the charts. Certainly has sufficient warm water to feed this storm. 
Remember this image from the updated study on where the energy goes?
Notice that the oceans absorb 89%
What does that mean?
âEvery year about 134 million atomic bombs of heat is being trapped by the ocean. It has kept global temperatures down and kept the land livable but we have to realise that energy hasnât gone.â
News coming in from #Bangladesh as they experience impacts from #CycloneMocha
As we face what looks like a significant #ElNino the dice are loaded against us here in the Southern Hemisphere.
In 2016 Cape Town came this close to running out of water. City population +4 million.

I have been running Bard side-be-side with Bing for the past few days and it is far more comprehensive in its responses and lightning fast.
Typos galore in that update đ
Satellites play a crucial role for our early warning systems as we continue to heat.
The sonnet we can spot changes in the climate system, the sooner people can prepare.
The coming El Niño is no exception. Which is why h the is data is so important.
Here is how I think about this. When you are out to dinner with friends the conversation around the table is ephemeral, no matter how amazing.
We donât ârecordâ the dinner conversation. We may take a few pictures to remember the occasion but once dinner is over, the conversations live in our memories only.
I think almost all social media content should be the same.
If there is anything of real importance that should be ârememberedâ write a blog post, or keep the notes in your personal journal if itâs that important to preserve.
Most of daily contacts with family, friends, coworkers is ephemeral only the really important stuff is recorded for posterity.
#CycloneMochađwill further intensify until landfall between Coxâs Bazar (Bangladesh) and Kyaukpyu (Myanmar), close to Sittwe (Myanmar) on Sunday 14 May (around noon, local time).
đš It is forecast to make landfall with sustained maximum winds of 180-190 km/h,
đ A storm surge of about 2.0-2.5 m above the astronomical tides is likely to inundate low-lying areas.
đ§ïž Heavy rainfall is forecast, with the possible risk of floods, flash floods and landslides.
There will be major impacts both ahead and after landfall for potentially hundreds of thousands of the worldâs most vulnerable people.
Coxâs Bazaar is home to nearly one million Rohingya refugees - the worldâs largest camp. The state of Rakhine in neighbouring Myanmar has about six million people in need of humanitarian assistance. 
Excellent book from what I hear. What would you say was the key takeaway for you personally?
Did you know:
To determine atmospheric CO2 concentrations air samples are regularly collected from observatories, tall towers, aircraft, and weather balloons at 86 locations worldwide. (See https://gml.noaa.gov/dv/site/?program=ccgg&active=1)
In addition, NASAâs Orbiting Carbon Observatories, OCO-2 and OCO-3, make around 100,000 measurements around the world each day.
These instruments ALL show the rising CO2 concentration trajectory.
We canât say we didnât know!
