Reply to Wind power is built at an increasing pace but its effect on nature and animals is poorly known.

Reply to comment by PhelesDragon in Meta has withdrawn its Galactica AI, only 3 days after its release, following intense criticism. Meta’s misstep—and its hubris—show once again that Big Tech has a blind spot about the severe limitations of large language models in AI. by lughnasadh
