Meta calls its DOE lab AI open source. The license says otherwise. (ai.meta.com)

Two Meta vision models do the labeling: DINOv3 finds the structures, SAM 3 draws the pixel-precise boundaries around them, running across roughly 300 GPUs inside the DOE's Genesis Mission science program.

Meta's post calls the pipeline open source. A commenter who read the actual SAM 3 license found it bans reverse engineering and any weapons-related use, oddly restrictive wording for a federally funded lab.

A meeting room hit 2,143 ppm CO2, and the decisions got worse (blog.mikebowler.ca)

Agile coach Mike Bowler clocked 2,143 ppm on a conference table. He cites Berkeley Lab: at 1,000 ppm, decision scores fell on six of nine measures; at 2,500, seven of nine dropped toward a range researchers called 'dysfunctional.'

The thread split. Submarine crews work in thousands of ppm with no measured deficit, and several readers flagged the post itself as AI-written. The real fight was whether CO2 is the cause or just the messenger.
