Anthropological archaeologist with a penchant for politics. Student of the ancient Maya. Practitioner of slow archaeology. Dad. Probably anarchist. Professional educator, writer, editor, and researcher. Not necessarily in that order.

#GenAI is gobbling up #energy, from chips to queries. As this continues, we run ahead towards a catastrophic rise in carbon emissions, #resource depletion, & scarcity wars.
This piece by #MIT researchers is scratching the surface of this topic pretty well.

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

As always, it's an honour to see one my photos (of La Corona Element 56, excavated in 2015) used by a press to which I contributed. It would be even more fun if I had either been asked (I would of course have agreed), or even told about it 🤷

Every weekday #morning, I walk both of my girls to garderie, and then #walk to campus for work (1.5 km). These days, at 815am, the sunrise is spectacular. #Proximity, as a life choice, is a vastly underrated way to impact one's carbon foot print. But in many contexts, it is also a precious luxury.

I'm quite impressed with this book by Amanda Podany. As a #Mayanist, the perspective is enchanting. The epigraphic record for #cuneiform tablets is mind-blowing.
I now know that the 1st to ever be named in written history, Kushim, was an administrator in charge of beer production.
