AI alignment researchers estimate less than a 10% chance that we lose control of superintelligent AI once it’s built. More typical estimates range from 10-80%, depending on who you ask.

as we get closer to superintelligence, it will be seen more and more as an enabler and driver of weapon of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities, if not as a WMD in and of itself. Direct calls for a “Manhattan Project for AGI” are already starting.

The "move fast and break things" ethos of Silicon Valley is incompatible with the security demands of superintelligence

I had the Android Emulator in my laptop, which I used to install the application, add our insurance information and figure out where to go. Just to be safe, I also ordered an Android phone to be delivered to me while I went to the hospital, where I used my iPhone's hotspot to set it up and show all the insurance information to the hospital staff.

In 2023, the reported global installed capacity of FPVwas 2.55 GWp and practical potential electricity generationfrom FPV might be able to produce up to 9434 TWh year−1with 30% array coverage on >100,000 reservoirs.

The ponds used in this study havealmost no watershed and are not connected to a stream orriver, thus limiting inputs of organic matter and nutrients fromoutside the ecosystem

Sustainability trade-offs of FPV in aquatic ecosystems aredriven by a range of interactive factors, and the goal of net-zeroemissions is affected by biogeochemical processes on land andin water.

Shifts in primaryproducer abundance and dominance following FPV installationmight influence GHG cycling in several ways, including byaltering rates of photosynthesis and CO2 uptake,51,52 loading oforganic matter to the sediment,29 and mixing and stratificationdynamics.

Changes in sediment and watercolumn respiration also will be reflected in water column GHGdynamics (e.g., increased concentrations of CO2 and CH4following panel installation) and air−water GHG ex-change.

The sum of GHG effectsassociated with FPV can be represented by air−water GHGexchange that integrates GHG dynamics taking place withinthe waterbody

GHG emissions associated with water-use change duringand after FPV installation require different considerations andaccounting than for terrestrial PV

following FPV deployment, ponds with FPV becamecolder than ponds without and tended to have more uniformtemperatures throughout the water column (Figure S1).

Experimental Ponds facility to estimate an annual pondemission enrichment of 151.3 g of CO2-eq m−2 year−1 forponds with FPV.

We can combine the average difference in GHG emissions inponds with and without FPV determined here with apreviously published annual GHG budget for the Cornell

Ebullitive CH4 emissions were onaverage nearly twice as high in ponds with FPV (0.21 ± 0.04mmol CH4 m−2 h−1) compared to ponds without FPV (0.11 ±0.02 mmol CH4 m−2 h−1) following FPV installation (p =0.031; Figure 5).

Gas transfer velocities (i.e., k600values) in the FPV-covered center of ponds were 4 times lowerfor CO2 (1.27 ± 0.18 cm h−1) and 3 times lower for CH4 (1.42± 0.59 cm h−1) than open pond centers in ponds without FPV(5.42 ± 2.23 and 4.25 ± 1.22 cm h−1 for CO2 and CH4respectively; Table S3), though these differences were notstatistically significant (p = 0.157 for k600CO2 and p = 0.107 fork600CH4), most likely due to the relatively small sample size.

In both treatments, CH4 dynamics followed seasonalpatterns, with the highest concentrations occurring duringwarm summer months

Ebullitive CH4 fluxesfollowed typical seasonal patterns in ponds both with andwithout FPV

wind speed was determinedby correcting wind speed data from the Ithaca-Tompkinsweather station (NOAA Station WBAN-94761), which islocated ∼2 km from the experimental ponds, using a previouslyestablished correction factor.

We sampled 16 ponds at theCornell Experimental Ponds Facility in Ithaca, NY, USA, insummer 2022 to identify six ponds that were most similarbased on the plant community, temperature, dissolved oxygen,pH, conductivity, dissolved nutrients, and dissolved GHGconcentration

We deployed FPV arrays on constructed ponds at the CornellExperimental Pond Facility in New York, USA in summer2023 (Figure 1).

CH4 ebullition from small waterbodies is also controlled byfactors such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, and organicmatter availability that are likely affected by FPV installa-tion.

Production and consumption of CO2 and CH4 in ponds,lakes, and reservoirs are dependent on dissolved oxygen,temperature, and the balance between primary production andrespiration

Energy production technologies require land and can alterlandscape GHG emissions,16−20 which may be particularlyimportant when considering the carbon cost of renewableenergy production from technologies touted as low carbon.

FPVdeployment may alter greenhouse gas (GHG) production and emissions fromwaterbodies by changing physical, chemical, and biological processes, which canhave implications for the carbon cost of energy production with FPV.

Demir and Taşkın (2013) conducted the LCA of a con-ceptual wind farm at a designated area in Turkey with highwind potential.

the results of this study were compared withsimilar studies specific to Turkey and findings of the reviewstudies.

the manufacturing location is changed to the Aegean regionof Turkey, and these parts are transported to construction siteby trucks covering a distance of 600 km.

Caduff et al. 2012 states that environmental impact pergenerated energy decreases as the turbine gets bigger.

Capacity factor is an important variablewhich defines the total energy production of the wind farmand hence affects the environmental impacts directly.

Another importantresult of the mentioned review is that impacts due to trans-portation have minor contributions on the total burdens(Arvesen and Hertwich 2012)

According to this review, for onshore wind farms,production of turbine components cause most of the emis-sions, which is in line with the results of this study as givenin Fig. 3 (Arvesen and Hertwich 2012)

Arvesen and Hertwich (2012) conducted an extensiveliterature review on LCA of energy generation from windpower by investigating 44 cases.

From another point of view the following evaluations arederived for the manufacturing and installation phase. Use ofnon-renewable energy sources, in other words, use of coal,natural gas and crude oil are the main contributors of ADPfossil. The main reasons for AP are nitrogen oxide and sul-phur dioxide emissions to atmosphere. Emission of nitrogenoxides to atmosphere, on the other hand, is mainly responsiblefor EP. Trichlorofluoromethane and dichlorotetrafluoroethane

Razdan and Garrett(2015) found similar environmental credits for impacts as92% of the steel, aluminium and copper originating from thewind farm was recycled, and the rest was sent to a landfillafter dismantling.

In another study dealingwith the whole life cycle stages of a wind farm, foundationwas not dismantled, all of the composite rotor wastes weresent to incineration; glass content was directed towards alandfill; and 20% of the rest was recycled (Xu et al. 2018).

A cra-dle-to-grave LCA study performed on a 50-MW onshorewind plant with a 20-year lifetime showed similar negativeimpacts for decommissioning phase (Garret and Ronde,2013)

The wind farm is an onshore facility located in the Marmararegion near Istanbul.

Characterization factors in CML 2001 methodologyare adopted to convert the flows into impact categories(Guinée et al. 2002)

In this sense, this study is the first one thatmodels the data obtained directly from an actual Turkishwind farm.

As of the end of 2019, Turkey has 198wind power plants with a total installed capacity of 8056MW in operation (TWEA 2020).

According to the data presented by theTurkish Wind Energy Association, currently 7.42% of thetotal Turkish electricity generation is originating from windfarms (TWEA 2020).

The 2015–2019 strategic plan prepared by theTurkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources statesthat financial incentives will be taken to encourage renew-able energy investments in Turkey (MoENR 2017).

Along withobtaining environmental performances of energy technolo-gies, LCA studies aid lowering the unwanted environmentalimpacts (Strantzali and Aravossis 2016), examining environ-mental trade-offs (Modahl et al. 2012) and evaluating decar-bonization potentials (Ramirez et al. 2020).

Although there are literature involving theenvironmental impacts of wind farms (Garrett and Rønde2013; Rashedi et al. 2013; Uddin and Kumar 2014; Var-gas et al. 2015) through LCA methodology as well as com-prehensive reviews of LCA of wind energy (Arvesen andHertwich 2012; Davidsson et al. 2012), it is a well-knownfact that obtaining reliable results depends on the usage ofsite-specific data.

Application of LCA methodology on various processes/products/services is known to create fruitful outcomes thatwill guide the decision-makers, manufacturers, researchersin developing sound strategies to lower the unfavour-able environmental impacts of such activities.

The facility in question is an onshore wind farm located in Turkey with a total installed capacity of 47.5 MWconsisting of 2.5 MW Nordex wind turbines.

Therefore, it is beneficial to employ holistic methodologiessuch as life cycle assessment (LCA) to investigate the pos-sible trade-offs between different impact categories.

Respect entails an understanding of the socioec-ological context of research as it relates to people and place.

There may be other considerations thatare context-specific to a particular culture, such as resourcestewardship institutions or responsibilities that have beendeveloped through years of experience and practice (Turnerand Berkes 2006; Reid et al. 2020)

scientists must recog-nize that Indigenous peoples have rights to self-determination,which extends to research partnerships and the creation anddissemination of new knowledge.

There is often an assumption –one we wish to avoid perpetuating here – that IK must be sub-sumed within Western scientific frameworks of knowledge,which can force Indigenous peoples to express themselves inways potentially contradictory to their own value and belief sys-tems (Nadasdy 1999). This practice can distort the accuracy andapplicability of IK, and is harmful to Indigenous ways of being.

Collaborative research with Indigenous partners requiresrecognition that science and scientists have in the past and con-tinue at present to (1) impose harm on Indigenous peoples; (2)discount IK; and (3) inappropriately reproduce, apply, or other-wise use information derived from IK (Pierotti 2012; Berkes2018)

Those seeking collaborations should be acutely aware thatclear tensions exist between IK and Western science epistemolo-gies.

Manyterritories in which cultural and knowledge transmission isongoing also tend to be remote and biodiverse, which posi-tion these title holders (that is, legal owners of land in thecontext of Indigenous laws) as natural biodiversity specialists(Figure 5; Garnett et al. 2018

This knowledge was in part derivedfrom how the area’s Haíɫzaqv people related to wolves; people ofthe territory also differ, depending on whether lineages originatefrom mainland or island areas.

Relational understanding was showcased in an example fromcoastal British Columbia, where IK holders shared knowledge oftwo wolf (Canis lupus) forms, locally referred to as “timberwolves” of the mainland and “coastal wolves” of the immediatelyadjacent offshore islands

The conclusions drawn from IK have interdisciplinary rele-vance as well.

Knowledge holders acrossdistinct cultures and environments accumulate information innumerous ways, including harvesting, observation, animalhusbandry, and experimentation, all supplemented by teach-ings from oral histories and cultural practices (Turner et al.2000; Berkes and Berkes 2009)

Research at the IK–science interface can benefit from thediversity inherent in IK approaches

Suchrecognition of system complexity (including synergistic and con-founding variables) is characteristic of IK, with the holistic viewsof ecosystems stemming in part from “relational” understandingsamong ecosystem components, including humans (Cajete 1995;Turner et al. 2000; Atleo 2011

considered by science, a reality supported by the fact thatIndigenous peoples themselves regularly form and testhypotheses (Cajete 1995; Atleo 2011).

Hypotheses constructed within the borders of scientificknowledge may be limited in complex or little-studied systems, aconstraint IK can address.

Indigenousways of knowing can shape and detail predictions not

Insights from IK can be relevant at many stages of theresearch process, including but not limited to project con-ceptualization and hypothesis development.

IK is often closely rooted in human survival and relation-ships between people and nature, and may furthermoretightly couple knowledge accumulation with cultural respon-sibility (Reid et al. 2020)

IK and science can share common properties andoffer complementary conceptual underpinnings

Anexample of how IK can provide information about healthand body condition comes from East Africa. In Kenya andSouth Sudan,

Eckert et al. (2018), forinstance, quantified size changes in yelloweye rockfish(Sebastes ruberrimus) based on historical accounts from theHaíɫzaqv, Kitasoo/Xai’xais, Nuxalk, and Wuikinuxv peoplesof western Canada.

In the meridianAmazon of Brazil, dos Santos and Antonini (2008), in docu-menting Enawene-Nawe knowledge of stingless bees, foundthat IK holders could discriminate among 48 different spe-cies and specify the ecological niche of each species.

Lee et al. (2018) coupled historical observations from theHaíɫzaqv First Nation of British Columbia with zooarchaeo-logical and scientific data to estimate northern abalone(Haliotis kamtschatkana) abundance on the Pacific coast ofCanada from the Holocene to the present.

Polfus et al. (2014) developed habitatmodels for woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)based on IK from the Taku River Tlingit First Nation ofnorthern British Columbia, and showed a high degree ofsimilarity between resource selection functions (RSF) thatestimated habitat use derived from IK and collared caribou.

in HaíɫzaqvTerritory (coastal British Columbia), explic-itly guided by the Gvi’ilas (customary law) ofthe Haíɫzaqv people. The approach combinedHaíɫzaqv cultural values with their knowl-edge of bears, salmon, and people in animportant large watershed.

Place- basedknowledge of bear ecology guided theresearch design by informing the spatial

Drawing on millennia-old accumulation of knowledge andits contemporary recognition by others, IK has informed,enhanced, and complemented the study of ecology, evolu-tion, and related fields (Figure 2)

IK has been recognizedin the scholarly literature as having enriched understandingof a range of individual-level processes, including behavior(eg Bonta et al. 2017) and habitat selection (eg Polfus et al.2014)

IK has also contributed to the literature on population- toecosystem-level processes.

IK can also address processes at the community and ecosys-tem levels, including interspecific interactions (eg Wehi 2009)and ecosystem function (eg Savo et al. 2016)

IK has also contributed to understanding related to evolu-tion in many systems.

Understanding of physiology can also emerge from long-term observations, including harvesting and preparingplants and animals for food, medicine, shelter, clothes, andmore.

IK is distinct from science, localknowledge, and citizen science in that it includes not only directobservation and interaction with plants, animals, and ecosystems,but also a broad spectrum of cultural and spiritual knowledgesand values that underpin human–environment relationships(Berkes 2018)

IK in itsbroad scope also includes “Traditional Ecological Knowledge”(TEK) and “Indigenous Ecological Knowledge” (IEK) whenknowledge relates to ecology.

IK is generally thought ofas a body of place-based knowledges accumulated and transmit-ted across generations within specific cultural contexts.

Application ofthese broad and deep knowledges in a scientific context hasled to many contributions to the literature in ecology,evolution, and related fields

Despite its millennia-long and continued application by Indigenous peoples to environ-mental management, non- Indigenous “Western” scientific research and management have only recently considered IK.

Indigenous Knowledge (IK) is the collective term to represent the many place-based knowledges accumulated across generationswithin myriad specific cultural contexts.

if you're going to talk about a shift in our paradigm, it is to recognize what indigenous people have always known, that we are created out of the elements of Mother Earth. And those should be our greatest responsibility, to protect them for ourselves and the rest of life on Earth.

Think about what is the most important thing that we needed the moment every one of us left our mother's body. Well, of course, it was a breath of air. That first breath was to announce our arrival on the planet and inflate our lungs. And from that moment on to the last breath you take before you die, you need air 15 to 40 times a minute.

What Guujaaw was saying was, we Haida don't end at our skin or our fingertips. To be Haida means to be connected to the land, that the air, the water, the trees, the fish, the birds, all of that is what makes us Haida. The land embodies our history, our culture. The very reason why Haida are on this earth is told to them by their connection with the land. Destroy those elements, and you destroy what it is to be Haida.

she said is, yeah, you scientists are clever. You can make powerful compounds like DDT, but you don't know enough to anticipate all of the consequences. Because, first of all, the lab is not a replica of the real world. The lab is an artifact, something that has very little to do with the real world out there. In the real world, everything is connected to everything else, and we don't know enough to anticipate the effects of what we do with our powerful technologies.
