A radio station in Poland fired its on-air talent and brought in A.I.-generated presenters. An outcry over a purported chat with a Nobel laureate quickly ended that experiment.

 

After adjusting for inflation, wages are higher than at any point in U.S. history, and after adjusting for age and sex, the percentage of the population that is employed is around its peak in U.S. history.

The existing large-scale batteries are largely lithium. There are a bunch of iron-chemistry ones and sodium-ion ones which have been deployed over the past year, with factories going up to scale them up. I'm not expecting to be limited by lithium availability for stationary batteries.

They're talking about 5+ years on the new nuclear in these. And they haven't done it before, so a 30% deadline slip is realistic.

You can put up a lot of wind and solar in that time.

Mostly:

  • New nuclear is really expensive
  • It also takes a long time to deliver
  • The new reactor examples in here consist of reactors from suppliers who haven't done that before

So it has the feel of a plan to promise to spend a lot of money several years from now, and get a lot of PR points today, and quietly cancel the project later.

 

My impression is that this is a PR push, designed to avoid having to invest in renewables, and let them keep on burning gas and coal, rather than something likely to come to fruition.

Yes — also non-native speakers of a language tend to follow similar word choice patterns as LLMs, which creates a whole set of false positives on detection.

"filter out" is an arms race, and watermarking has very real limitations when it comes to textual content.

It doesn't take people on the internet saying it though; just an association with people saying something and the name, which happens to people who write news articles about something.

The bots are not reliable summarizes like that. They often can't tell the difference between the author and the subject of a piece of writing.

I was surprised by that too.

All of them. I can post other sites just fine; it's only washingtonpost.com and wapo.st links that are blocked.

Or from your ISP. The Washington Post ran an article about that today, but links to them get blocked by some sort of filter on lemmy.world

It's more that the owning family is incredibly wealthy, and believes in regularly presenting their viewers with right-wing views.

They actually brought in somebody who isn't a regular columnist to make this claim; even Dowd isn't this bonkers.
