A reminder that cars aren’t a technology problem. They’re a geometry problem.
Waymo privatized another public street:

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Tråd. Eller tråd och tråd, det är två inlägg. Bra poäng är det iaf.
The fundamental problem with chatbots, social media, and many internet applications is that the companies are driven by profit-seeking to juice engagement to the detriment of people and society.
The company essentially turned a dial that made ChatGPT more appealing and made people use it more, but sent some of them into delusional spirals.

OpenAI has since made the chatbot safer, but that comes with a tradeoff: less usage.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Shifting away from fossil fuels & fossil-based materials, to biofuels & biomaterials, means reducing one important source of GHG emissions (fossil fuels) but potentially increasing another (land-use change, driven by increased land demand). It’s essential to account for both sides of this equation.
The chemical industry is a huge source of GHG emissions. Decarbonizing the industry will be hard, but as a UNFCCC technology expert said here, there's no way we can avoid it. COP30 reflected that, with what seemed to be more spotlight on chemicals than past summits. cen.acs.org/environment/...
At COP30, chemical companies push biobased climate solutions
But environmentalists are raising concerns about the ecosystem, food security, and other impacts from the fossil fuel alternative

Det här är ju imponerande och så men är det verkligen en korrekt prioritering av resurser? Team på 40 specialister på stand-by i två dygn, 19 timmar operation, patienten förberedd sedan 2017, utvärderingar av psykolog för att få något som kanske är lite bättre än proteser? www.dn.se/sverige/unik...
Unik handtransplantation genomfördes i Stockholm
19 timmar. Så lång tid tog det för en patient vid Södersjukhuset i Stockholm att få nya händer transplanterade.

Seems like large scale misallocation of capital is happening on multiple fronts in the land of the free.
The US is over-building LNG export capacity by a really, really, really wild degree - the IEA assumes demand will be in place, but on the grounds that the gas is cheap

BUT if the gas is cheap, the companies selling it won't make enough money to make a profit..........

Stark rapport från Smart Eye. Kassflödet från rörelsen positivt före förändringar i rörelsekapital. Stor rörelsekapitalbindning i kvartalet gör att kassaflödet efter investeringar är på ungefär samma nivå som kvartalet innan. Är mest intresserad av mer detaljer kring rörelsekapitalet på confen.

This is really quite scandalous... the key assumption that means rising oil demand is that EV sales share will be the same in 2050 as in 2024 in EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD (except China+EU) 🤷‍♂️
🤡OIL DEMAND WILL KEEP RISING🤡

What are the IEA assumptions that make rising oil demand so improbable?

This (not from that piece) is one of those charts where I am completely aware of the data but my mental map of how the global economy works still almost refuses to update to the new reality. Because the pace of change has been so rapid.

Veckans viktigaste nyhet. Kinas utsläpp av växthusgaser ser ut att minska under 2025 – fem år tidigare än utlovat. Orsaken är den explosionsartade utvecklingen av förnybar energi tillsammans med den kraftiga ökningen av elbilar

I klimatfrågan står valet mellan att 1) minska "levnadsstandarden" på kort sikt för att kunna bibebhålla eller öka den på lång sikt när vi har mer klimatvänlig teknik tillgänglig och 2) öka den på kort sikt för att få se katastrofala minskningar på lång sikt. Det borde inte vara ett svårt val.

The road to hell: let’s burn more fossile fuels if we mismanage our forests....
The European Union should weaken its next climate target if its forests sequester less carbon dioxide than planned, according to a draft agreement on the bloc's 2040 emissions-cutting goal.
EU countries poised to demand weaker climate target if forests fail to absorb CO2
Ministers are rushing to strike a deal on EU emissions ahead of the COP30 climate conference in Brazil.

När man läser denna tråd förstår man vad som ligger bakom de studier som finner att eleverna från vissa skolor klarar yrkes- och studielivet efter gymnasiet sämre.
”Vi kan inte säga säkert varför det är så”, säger Skolverkets utredare om att elever på friskolornas yrkesprogram har klart sämre etablering på arbetsmarknaden.
Jag har ägnat en stor del av min tid de senaste två åren åt just den frågan. Detta har jag hittat. 🧵

Just two decades ago, China had little capacity to manufacture cars — and owning one was considered a novelty.

Today, China produces and exports more cars than any other country in the world.

Meanwhile we in Europe still pretend we can somehow stop EVs from taking off by holding on to old tech.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Bra tråd.
The car crisis tops today’s EU summit but leaders keep staring at the wrong problem

The issue isn’t the 2035 engine ban - it’s demand falling off a cliff today

With @sandertordoir.bsky.social and @lucasguttenberg.bsky.social, we show why flipping regs won’t help - and what the EU can do instead.
