Solar farms can help INCREASE biodiversity.
Critics often claim that they are an environmental disaster leading to a loss in biodiversity.
But research shows: Solar farms tend to have more species of plant, insect & bird than equivalent farm fields.

La IA entrenada con IA basura produce basura
A medida que proliferen las páginas web basura escritas por la IA, los modelos que se basan en esos datos sufrirán las consecuencias.MIT Technology Review
me parece tan surrealista el artículo. "Científicos con teorías conspiranóicas de una tecnología creada por científicos". Desde el principio se trata de conocer sus limitaciones y de poco en poco vaya mejorando paralelamente a la tecnología.
Simplemente están publicando resultados, basándose en modelos actuales como ejemplo. Pero eso no limita el que las teorías en que se basan y los lenguajes no permitan seguir evolucionándolo. No estamos ni al comienzo de todo ésto
la primera suerte de implementación de una IA en una máquina de cálculo data de 1951, Alan Turing con su Mark I. Una máquina de 5 toneladas con 16*3 metros y 2,5 de alto, y que podía jugar al ajedrez.
Fue en 1956 cuando se acuñó el término "Inteligencia Artificial" como tal, para referirse a los estudio de recrear inteligencia por medio de ordenadores
en 1972 un Doctor en una universidad ya chateaba en msdos con una IA rudimentaria, "Chatterbox". En los 90 la revista Micromania distribuía una especie de Shareware con una cara parlante que le preguntabas cosas. También IBM y su Deep Blue, dándose de leches con Kaspárov.
Entre los nazis soltando bulos por doquier y ahora "qué viene la IA, es nuestra perdición..". Bajemos un poco todos a tierra. Es una herramienta más
totalmente de acuerdo. Por eso mismo no es sostenible la dependencia de grandes corporaciones y sus modelos depredadores.
Hay sectores más tochos en que el cambio es más lento debido a la misma infraestructura como país o sociedad.
En cuanto a la revolución tecnológica y digital sí tenemos más a mano "desconectar" de estas corporaciones, adoptando modelos más respetuosos. Se trata de trastear en PCs antiguos y montar mini servidores a nivel personal, entre amigos, vecinos o barrios
Llevamos más de 50 años con IA y ahora es cuando el nivel de cálculo computacional abre las puertas de forma masiva, pero no se ha dejado de evolucionar ni se dejará.
Igualmente, hay que encontrar un balance justo para todo esto

I'm quite excited for the Starship Troopers: Extermination single-player
Starship Troopers: Extermination is already a fun game, but the initial Early Access release was short-lived due to a lack of content. Over time, Offworld have really built it up and the new upcoming single-player mode has me really excited.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I absolutely adore the original film. That said something that often seems to be missing from franchise spinoffs after, including this trailer, is the sense of satire suggesting that the Federation may actually be a propaganda spewing cause of the war with the bugs rather than just the "might is right" good guys.
I miss the poking fun at unthinking American militarism that I loved in Starship Troopers.

It's nice to see someone talking sense about the whole blue light silliness!
How much does your phone’s blue light really delay your sleep? Relax, it’s just 2.7 minutes
It’s one of the most pervasive messages about technology and sleep. We’re told bright, blue light from screens prevents us falling asleep easily. We’re told to avoid scrolling on our phones before bedtime or while in bed. We’re sold glasses to help filter out blue light. We put our phones on “night mode” to minimise exposure to blue light.
But what does the science actually tell us about the impact of bright, blue light and sleep? When our group of sleep experts from Sweden, Australia and Israel compared scientific studies that directly tested this, we found the overall impact was close to meaningless. Sleep was disrupted, on average, by less than three minutes.
How much does your phone’s blue light really delay your sleep? Relax, it’s just 2.7 minutes
The message that blue light from screens stops you from falling asleep is essentially a myth, albeit a very convincing one. Here’s what’s really going on.The Conversation
