Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

Pero sobre todo aprendí de él -y de mi padre-, el compromiso por la acción sindical.
Pepe ha sido un referente en @ccooindustria.bsky.social y así se lo reconocieron sus compañeros. Gracias por vuestras muestras de cariño. La familia lo agradece.
Que la tierra te sea leve, Pepe.
Te queremos.

Today's average price in Italy is 125.08 EUR/MWh, in Spain it is 28.43 EUR/MWh (unweighted by load). The expansion of renewable energy capacity in Spain is protecting its electricity market from geopolitical shocks.

Most segregation research examines neighborhoods, schools, or workplaces separately. But do individuals' exposure align across domains and persist over the life course? We fill this gap using 27 years of 🇸🇪 data.

Tocqueville is genuinely one of the midt underestimated commentators of the US in political philosophy. People always look to Rawls and Nozick as the two sides of American political imaginary, but Tocqueville is far more spot on.

100% agreed.
Democracy in America is one of the best ethnographic and political science essays of the 19th century USA.
I couldn’t recommended it enough to my students. They would understand so much about that country nowadays.

China despierta el furor por los robots humanoides: un mercado de 200.000 millones de dólares que pone rumbo a la Bolsa Cuatro empresas chinas preparan su debut bursátil mientras Tesla deja de fabricar coches para centrarse en los androides. En 2025 se instalaron 15.000 unidades en todo el mundo

🆕 Several Earth system components may be closer to destabilisation than previously thought. Crossing key temperature thresholds could trigger feedback loops, pushing the planet toward a “Hothouse Earth” trajectory.

Como veo que solo se cita a Barbacid, que sí, es cierto que es el director del CNIO, vengo a nombrar a Carmen Guerra, que es CO-AUTORA del artículo, autora en la misma medida que Barbacid y, cuando las voces claman para que a ÉL le den el Nobel, no es más que el enésimo caso de ignorar a una mujer.
