Infinite Friction: Why the Nuclear Analogy Is Wrong for AI - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The conventional wisdom is well-established: the race between the United States and China to build powerful artificial intelligence is most akin to the arms race of the atomic age. Sam Altman of OpenAI famously compared his company’s efforts to The Manhattan Project. Anthropic’s Dario Amodei compared selling advanced chips to China as akin to selling nuclear weapons to North Korea.” Elon Musk went further, saying “…the danger of AI is much greater than the danger of nuclear warheads, by a lot…”
Measuring Meaningless Climate Actions - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What would Americans gain from eliminating every ton of carbon dioxide emitted from the use of fossil fuels in the United States? The answer, even accepting unfounded assumptions that make the so-called benefit look as large as possible, is nothing. The global campaign against carbon dioxide (CO2) rests on a promise that has never been audited. Governments around the world have instituted levies, cap-and-trade markets, fuel standards, and subsidies on the unexamined premise that national sacrifi
AI: Peak Demand and Peak Supply Postponed (fossil future) - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Absent [climate] policy steering [intervention], AI’s modeled effects increase the carbon intensity of the global economy and reinforce fossil fuel incumbency—outcomes that current analytical and governance frameworks do not fully capture.” (Nature Portfolio, below) Age-old fears of declining fossil fuel supply and falling demand have, once again, been upended by the engines of progress. The anti-CO2 crusade, futile and wasteful, has been set back again. Tsvetana Paraskova’s “AI Could Make Big

Read excerpt
Suspected arsonist Brandon Glasgo is homeless with a history of arrests and mental health problems. Earlier this year, one of my clients had to evacuate a building because of a wildfire that began in an adjacent valley. This weekend, another wildfire started in the same area. Interestingly, police have arrested a man on suspicion of arson in connection with this blaze. A cigarette-smoking poker dealer has been unmasked as the alleged firebug behind a 131-acre blaze that threatened homes and forc
No, MIT, ‘clean energy’ isn’t the future — nor is it actually clean - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is the world still transitioning to green energy in the era of Donald Trump and in the midst of, yet again, geopolitical unpleasantness in the oil-rich Middle East? While climate activists bewail the Trump administration’s embrace of fossil fuels and its corresponding disdain for solar panels and wind turbines, a new report released by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Energy and Environmental Research says greener days may yet be in our future. The report, “Glass Half-Full:
