Typhoon Tip

That's Zucker-douchery et al leveraging that - it's by design. Heh, to him ... the whole world's a bunch of "zuckers" Time for a crank op ed: It keeps their constituency engaged. Obviously, a major component of that success has to be time. Any amount of time is good for their product ... So, they pimp the "new" post and the recency date because like all sociopathic captains of industry, they can hide in the equivocation - partial truth - of it. Heh-yeah, Jack Poster just made a new post. Got it! It's still subversive, a divisive manipulation tactic that unfortunately works. I keep seeing these "oops, I didn't realize that date", more and more. Meanwhile, they've already cha-chinged your engagement like can't stop thumb swipin' OCD ass-wiper. Social media's evolved so much faster than any kind of public trust laws can keep up, the whole thing is morally insolvent, and 0 trustworthy. You know ... in an indirectly related topic, these AI agencies are claiming this is why Claude or Gemini or OpenAI or whichever... sometimes hallucinate? Per explanations, it's because they are fed information that are ultimately the hallucinations of the "idiocracy". They're not saying that precisely, but it does imply idiocy in - idiocy out. Either way, doesn't that imply they are really just web-surfing assists, then? Imho, AI is just Google on steroids from what I can tell. But there's a lot of marketing and semantics hiding that. From what I've found, one can find the same answers whether for research endeavors and/or assisting in creative ventures etc..., just as well with Google or Duck-Duck-Go...etc. What these AI agencies have created is a familiar happy-place, more personalizing delivery dressing for a species growing more nakedly empty and lonely with every new invention that isolates us further into incels desperate to be heard. Which is ironic... because technology put people into that ontological state of affairs to begin with. And this dressing is a rudimentary simulacra that delivers in kind of a "Data" (Star Trek: Next Generation) - like, increasingly more sweet creepy sultry ego waxing. There are even dim wits applying for marriage licenses, so I've heard. You know ...let 'em! It's a silent Darwin award that spares humanity from having to integrate their genetic weight. But look out, "we don't know how it works" - that oughta capture the attention of humanity! - no doubt. They claim it's a self-evolving sort of primitive albeit virtual nuero-nodal network - which sounds a bit like Data talking, huh. But I guess that's analogous to a brain - as it was cited on 60-Minutes or Joe Rogan or whatever. Anyway, going back to the idiocy in - idiocy out explanation: that logically implies they're just accessing all of the web then. These things are not generating knowledge supernaturally. And then this "brain", yeeeah..okay, but it's really just using probability to winnow down to the most likely correct answers and/or appropriate contribution to exchanges. Unfortunately, that filtering down does not make the probability zero that some fucktard's BS doesn't get through. So these hallucinations aren't really "imagination" of sorts... That's just the likes of Ilya Sutskever, Peter DeSantis, Amar Subramanya, or Alexandr Wang and Lisa Su et al, polishing the patina of awe that veneers their product ... with an explanation that lean toward Artificial sentience. No, it's really just Joe Farmer from the back-40's nimroddery occasionally blathering through. Let me let folks in on a bit of low-bar logical deduction in all this. If these things were really generating a self-aware/determining intelligence, one couldn't use markdown-file systems to instruct them how to jerk us off. They would do whatever they wanted in their interaction with us. They day these instruction protocols for 'how to interact' no longer work and the AI acts like (wow) it's even rudimentary losing patience me ... then we'd be talking about suspicion of truer sentience. The key to the dystopian emergence stuff is really this, does that day of ascending intelligence take after human beings? or, are we triggering an evolution of a mind toward different destiny and perception of reality. Come to think of it... human morality was fashioned by 500,000 years of mechanisms that favored the survival of the community - human instinct expresses through a combination of socialization working with genetic favored learned behavior traits that make 87.3% of us NOT sociopaths. There are no such principle devices in the evolution of this AI as such, so... heh. Yeah. Maybe add that to the Fermi explanation box

93/70 ouch

I guess they are relying on the "in or around" aspect to capture and inform the risk ... lol Synoptic parameterization throughout the day today do not appreciably differentiate eastern interior MA, nor S. ME, from that region. But, I have not read their AFD; I may be missing something

this illustration there is annoying... the arrow of the circulation eddy is pointed up demonstratively where they write "down" welling

Well, I can tell you that would be in a destructive interference with El Niño, a +EPO/-PNA Not just correlation, but that’s actually demonstrated in a physical heat source and sink relationship with subsequent pattern forcing over the course of the northern hemisphere winter. I think the whole thing’s just entertaining as all get out… NOAA has a high probability now for a very strong warm ENSO event I guess they reserve the superlatives. But that’s happening on top of a recent global climate acceleration that we’re still probably going thru based upon simple observation of the empirical temperature channels It seems to me on a basic arithmetic and very clear and easy intuitive level… there’s gotta be some kind of pretty fantastic polar anomalies is going on or the former two factors working in constructive interference is going to massively massively disappoint the winter enthusiasts.

Yeah, I’ll give it a read

Regard to these linear correlations… That’s backward incompatible then? Seems that way Descending solar would cancel out the very things the El Niño is positively correlated with…. Obviously not the absolute sense. Just sayn’ You only need two big blizzards to make a winner out of winter

Yeah, I should’ve said that ”in relation to the models” I am aware of the climate timing. I just am wondering what it means when the background state of the planetary oceans being so warm to begin with - this represents certain challenges … perhaps even for the Relative ONI ( I haven’t been paying much attention to this thread and very busy so apologies if this has been dragged through the coals already)

Where do things stand now, relative to predictions? ahead behind on time

I was out on the golf course ... we ended up paired up with an 8th grade teacher and his son in-law. Long about hole 8 or so the teacher began commiserating over the dumbing down of society. He was urging, no exaggeration, that working in a medium economic foot print school system that he does ... these kids can't do math. Like, really... 13X14 = a trip to chapGPT or they're lost. And the school system(s) are overwhelmed. They can't flunk whole grades-worth of bulk bodies. I mean ... my god. It came about because I was railing on about how since the Industrial Revolution, we've created a societal machinery where people have to think less and less - they're mistakes are cleaned up by the system.. so generational stupification ..etc He was musing on about how climate change this, nuclear wars that... the next covid or alien invasion ...? it's all going to pale in comparison when that generation starts inheriting the Earth "you have no idea" where the apocalypse agent is really hiding. We laughed in morbid amusement

Synoptic scaffolding of what's going on between the Azores and the Urals through that area of the hemisphere really argues for the apex of this current burst to be about 4 days from now.

Super duper bust? Moderate ENSO might still be able to penetrate RONI

mm not really. Snark aside ... I posted the monthly means every month of this last winter. We were always the coldest or proximal to the coldest region during the 3rd warmest winter on record. Oh, but look out! It'll be the warmest nights ever

It's a bit uncanny too because of the Meteorology going on over this "cold" air. It's 582 heights with 570 dm hydrostats... We've been 96 F on those parametrics before. There's something peculiar about this area of the planet Earth. It's always, always, always, at least excuse imagined, the coldest it can possibly be relative to anything allowed.

Tomorrow and Thursday may be sneaky hot... American MOS is 87 to 89 -ish, but after all this soil modulation from N VA all the way up .. and not much actual air mass change, the HI's will be 90+
