Another example on why statistical approaches (most of ML) are not enough and you need logical reasoning to solve problems. Back to the original, decades-old AI camps of logics vs number crunching.

Noam Chomsky and @GaryMarcus on the pitfalls of recent AI systems like DallE, no real understanding of the world. @WebSummit As I’m saying since a while, Semantic Web/logics based AI has to come together with Machine Learning and statistics (the latter has so far won in industry) – at Lisbon, Portugal
Reason why I never use these and neither should you. Plus it’s bad for the environment
A recent research found that a cup of tea made with plastic teabags may come with a dose of micro- and nano-sized plastics (the latter being less than 100 nanometers in size) shed from the bags. Health effects are currently unknown [read more: buff.ly/2lLK75g]

As startups grow there is extremely strong pull into what I call the death spiral of bullshit.

Only 17% of electronic waste is recycled. That’s because devices aren’t designed to be recycled. They’re full of tiny, toxic materials that are hard and expensive to break down. But if extracted safely, those materials could mean big money for e-recyclers: buff.ly/3j99EAh

In Gujarat, India, a project launched in 2012 is aimed to use the 532 km long network of Narmada canals across the state for installing solar panels & generate electricity. A solution that saves land, reduces evaporative losses & keeps solar panels cooler: buff.ly/3hYEPL4

Puglia is a region where ancient olive trees often sport bizarre, fantastical shapes, often twisting and turning about themselves. L’Ulivo Pensieroso (the Thinking Olive Tree) is a (possibly 500 year old) plant with a very peculiar human appearance buff.ly/3mPS9V5

The European Union is about to start regulating emissions from brake dust -- not just tailpipe emissions.
Note: Due to their heavy batteries, EVs often create more brake dust than equivalent gas-powered models.
