The STS scholars: AI will be consequential, but neither as deadly or dreamy as doomers/hypers suggested; some of its important effects will be unanticipated, shaped by complex contexts of use, adaptation, resistance; and *its advantages/dangers will not be distributed equitably*

"Without algorithms based on self-containment, scholars and policymakers might have to learn something about the cultural and natural histories at stake. That takes time, and too much time, perhaps, for those who dream of grasping the whole in an equation" - Anna Tsing

Check out the #climate vulnerability assessment from @usaidescarib! This assessment of 11 Caribbean countries offers insight into exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity to climate change so stakeholders can better guide climate change programming. ow.ly/OpQy50KaUnV
This figure (paper), almost ten years old, is more relevant than ever: "Redefining agricultural yields: from tonnes to people nourished per hectare". The figure dramatically shows: Way too many of the calories we produce are not directly used for food. We cannot afford that.
46 million more people faced hunger in 2021 compared to 2020, according to the 2022 @FAO SOFI report. Global hunger has risen for the 4th year in a row.

9) Why do you choose not to investigate people who own polluting businesses for illegal dumping of chemicals? When was the last time you conducted an illegal dumping undercover operation? How many surveillance operations/informants do you have devoted to pollution violations?

At Bonn UN climate talks, Brunei asks the @IPCC where the coal, oil, and gas need to stay in the ground (hint everywhere). IPCC responds that it’s beyond their remit. It’s a political question. That’s why we need a @fossiltreaty
Of COURSE no mainstream climate models game this out. They are quite literally not designed to do so. The scientific models correlate emissions and warming; the integrated assessment models *assume* continued economic growth.

Interesting paper on a novel "AI exposure" that explains the slower roll-out of AI from a cost perspective. One of the takeaways for me is that automation is not necessarily economically attractive - perhaps more efforts could be devoted to use AI to complement workers.

A lesson from my PhD that continues to shape my research decisions today is the "6 Projects Rule" (credited to @ProfNoto): “At any point, you should aim to have 2 projects at the submission stage, 2 at the “active research” stage, and 2 at the project development stage”.
Given issues with nightlights, what are some other geospatial proxies for GDP? One new solution has been developed—the critical infrastructure spatial index (CISI). Here's everything you need to know about it:
Soon we won't be able to use nightlights as a proxy for economic growth. Why? It's due to limitations of its spectral bands. Here's the breakdown in simple terms:
VIIRS satellites can't capture 'blue light' emissions from LED lights. In the below graph: • the blue rectangle = the blue light spectrum • LEDs (blue line in the top panel) emits a lot of blue light • VIIRS data (blue line in the bottom panel) can't capture any of this
