Following a #researcher’s #warning about the potential dangers of #AI, over 20 members of #Congress are calling for stronger #regulation. Lawmakers are considering various bills, including the #FRONTIERAct, the #AIKillSwitchAct, and the #BanArtificialSuperintelligenceAct, to address concerns about AI’s impact on #jobs, #datacentres, and potential risks to #humanity.

We reach Rabaul after 4 days of navigation over the Bismarck Sea. I am now docked at the Kute shipping quay for how many days I don't know yet. The good thing is that there's a new company covering the last stretch of my journey, from Rabaul to Buka, Bougainville. I'll just have to wait for the time the ship is ready to depart. In the meantime, I watch at slave-like work of a group of men downloading copra from a cargo ship and uploading it on trucks delivering it on local markets. They tell me they get the equivalent of €2 for every ton of copra downloaded, to be divided among a team of 6. Slavery I said.

I slow travel mainly to reduce my carbon footprint (by 10 times according to available estimates: see https://ourworldindata.org/travel-carbon-footprint ) but also to experience travel as most people in this world do.

Day 75-78: Conditions are not exactly first class on the vessel taking me from Lae to Rabaul: There's no couchette and no shower room. However, people leave me some space to roll out my 2-inch mattress on the floor (I'm the only one onboard except for crew members enjoying this luxury), so I get some rest. All other passengers sleep crammed on the floor or on the seats. For washing we rely on the "bucket system" in small cabin rooms that get constantly flooded with (rather filthy) water. Surely I'm a white fly on board and everyone wants to speak with me. In spite of this and the breathtaking view of the sunset, I get on with my work...

Day 75-78: I don't think I'll ever see as much as beauty as in these breath-taking sunsets over the Bismarck Sea. They fall gently like leaves caressed by an autumn breeze.

Having seen research from many different angles – as a clinician, #researcher, trial manager – she knows that every manuscript represents years of work by real people
#Technology can help #publishers handle growing volumes of research, spot patterns, make processes more efficient – it can speed up good science & reduce routine tasks. But it cannot replace the human judgement, accountability & shared responsibility that scholarly publishing relies on.

Interview by Tim Gillett

Day 72: In Papua you can never be sure about schedules and timing until the ship has actually taken off. After an obligatory 3 hour delay, I am eventually about to embark for the previous to last stage of my journey: 4 days of navigation over a 1,100km route: Lae-Umboi-Gloucester-Kimbe-Rabaul. I still don't know how to manage the last stretch from Rabaul to Buka....

I can't believe that after 70 days of travel I am just about to complete the 28,000km dividing Italy from the Solomons without flying! It will count nothing in terms of overall greenhouse emissions, but for me, now, it's everytghing I can do to for this wonderful fragile planet. 91/

I slow travel mainly to reduce my carbon footprint (by 10 times according to available estimates) but also to experience travel as most people in this world do.

A #researcher bought noreply.net. Companies started sending him secrets.

Cory Solovewicz receives more unwanted emails than you. Seriously—it’s a lot more. Since December 2024, one of the domains at which the #security researcher receives #email has registered 401,796 messages—by his calculations that’s an average of 699.99 pings per day.

This deluge isn’t the regular flood of spam, newsletters, and unwanted deals that fill many people’s inboxes. Instead, companies and other organizations are inadvertently sending Solovewicz other people’s private information and company #secrets. Over the last few years, he’s received injury reports from a city government, confirmation of people’s pizza orders, and account setup emails from a school platform. “I get service orders for people that need repairs. I get lots of test platform credentials,” says Solovewicz, a security researcher and consultant.

There are no bus schedules, no tickets, and buses depart when they are full. I am getting to the main departing point in Madang when it's already late in the morning - but I really wanted to talk about locals about coastal erosion in the city. Fortunately, I still find a place for me on probably the last bus, and two seats are allocated to my bulky luggage. Off we go for the last stop in Papua island before hopefully embarking for the Bismarck archipelago.

It takes 6 hours to cover 212km on "Ramu Sugars" road. It was even slower 3 yrs ago with unpaved track

I was a #RussellGroup #fixedterm #Researcher and I loved it. It made best use of my #skills but there's no guarantee of the next #contract. Even if likely you'll get another you can'tbe sure. Approaching 60 I realised that the risk was high as a different #job would be hard to get. #Ageism is rife in #employment. So, I took a permanent lower #pay role for #financial #security. I miss #research every day.

A wee #introduction since there are lots of folks joining or rejoining the fediverse in general and Mastodon in particular.

I'm Dave, a #queer #Catholic who runs and sings for fun. I play #VideoGames (currently #Titanfall2) and watch a lot of #Dropout (#Dimension20, #PlayItByEar, #GameChanger are faves), #VideoEssays, and #anime.

I recently went to my first #burn (not #BurningMan, tho) and am digging the inclusive accepting culture.

At work I'm a #researcher in #ComputationalLinguistics focused on #NaturalLanguageGeneration and #psycholinguistics methods. You could say my dayjob is trying to develop a more ethical #ChatGPT

Feel free to ask me questions about #Mastodon if you are #NewHere
