(Spoiler: no.)  A new study that suggests possible catastrophic climate feedbacks at high temperatures has been published OpenAI's new neural network is like nothing we've ever seen, and can imitate human writing more convincingly than I'd thought possible yet   You can find the show at www.physicspodcast.com and contact us with your comments, questions, concerns, etc. Twitter @physicspod Facebook - Physical Attraction.
