Can AI Slash Pollution? Fossil Fuel Industry Is Investing in Boosting Oil Production, Profits Instead
DeSmog reveals that Big Oil says they’re using AI to produce more fossil fuels, while utilities are exploring how “AI agents” could take over key power grid functions.

This just occured to me (too much sun and gin lemonade could be a factor): English is a funny language and when they say Artificial they mean Automated, and when they say Intelligence they don't mean smarts, they mean covertly gathering intel from prospective enemies!
Hence #ArtificialIntelligence, often promoted to General.
The purpose of any system is what it does, not what it consistently fails to do.

Update on my stance here: I’ve changed my mind after reading way more about #AI. Stopped using #LLM products, cancelled paid subscription to #ChatGPT and am currently exploring smaller, specialized, and open-source alternative language model solutions to keep business functioning where needed (tldr because of client requests for certain types of automation I can’t say goodbye to LMs completely).
Planning to write up how my thinking developed soon.

AI-enhanced maps reveal hidden streams for restoration
A dataset unveiled today more than doubles the documented stream miles in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, elevating the total from approximately 150,000 to nearly 350,000 miles. The Hyper-Resolution Hydrography Data used to generate the new stream maps stems from a collaboration between the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), the Environmental Protection Agency's Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP), and the Chesapeake Conservancy (CC), including UMBC alumni at CBP and CC.
