Europe is having a summer of record-breaking heat. Forests are burning and hospitals and schools are overheating. But one place is staying cool: data centers. A new...essay on AI, climate, and the 30-trillion-tons of human-made stuff that geologists call the technosphere.

This summer, while hospitals and schools overheat, data centers stay cool. A dispatch on AI, climate, and the technosphere.

#Birds as archivists of the late #Anthropocene; what a fascinating piece of research into the intersection of nature, the technosphere, and material culture.
JUST OUT! 🚨 Time capsule birds' nests! 🪹
I'm proud to share our discovery of layers of vintage plastic in urban birds’ nests... going back decades in time! 👀
“You flip through these nests like through pages of a history book, uncovering the past.” 📚

All this talk about dangerous superintelligence, control and the planet obscures this very important insight. Humanity is floundering within a technosphere out of our control on a planet we barely understand. There is a lot of stuff that can really hurt us, and I doubt we know all of it.
