OPINION: Europe’s recent choices on the war in Ukraine reveal a psychology of weakness.
It’s a continent short on courage and unable to act decisively even when its core interests are at stake and alternatives are within reach.

Italy's Campi Flegrei supervolcano is stirring. Could this seismic giant soon erupt?

so I've been playing around with AI (GPT), asking it how Pt-bearing sulfide layers form in layered intrusions. I asked critical questions, prompted it to think about physics, and after many iterations, it came up with this model. Utter nonsense, violating physics! Be very careful of AI.
