Nevada flooding forces Burning Man attendees to shelter in place_我的网站

A |     Thousands of Burning Man attendees trudged in sloppy mud on Saturday — many barefoot or wearing plastic bags on their feet — as flooding from storms swept through the Nevada desert, forcing organizers to close vehicular access to the counterculture festival. Revelers were urged to shelter in place and conserve food, water and other supplies.Vehicular gates will be closed for the remainder of the event, which began on Aug. 27 and was scheduled to end on Monday, according to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which oversees the Black Rock Desert where the festival is being held. Organizers urged festivalgoers to conserve their food, water and fuel.  The Black Rock City Municipal Airport, a temporary pop-up airport used by festival goers every summer specifically for Burning Man, was closed as of Saturday evening, the festival said. 

     "All event access is currently closed," the festival said, and no driving was permitted except for emergency vehicles. The Reno Gazette Journal reported that organizers started rationing ice sales and that all vehicle traffic at the sprawling festival grounds had been stopped, leaving portable toilets unable to be serviced.                   Officials haven't yet said when the entrance is expected to be opened again, and it wasn't immediately known when celebrants could leave the grounds. More than one-half inch of rain is believed to have fallen on Friday at the festival site, located about 110 miles north of Reno, the National Weather Service in Reno said. There was a chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday night and Sunday, the festival said on its website, with a quarter-inch of rain forecast for Sunday. Superstar DJ and music producer Diplo shared a video to social media Saturday afternoon that showed several people riding on the back of a truck leaving the festival, one of whom appeared to be comedian Chris Rock.  "Just walked 5 miles in the mud out of burning man with chris rock and a fan picked us up," Diplo wrote.                         Spencer Brown, another DJ, posted to social media Saturday that there was "absolutely crazy flooding right now, but I, along with my camp, am safe with plenty of water, food, and shelter. Turning off the Starlink to conserve power."  Many people played beer pong, danced and splashed in standing water, the Gazette Journal said. Mike Jed, a festivalgoer, and fellow campers made a bucket toilet so people didn't have to trudge as often through the mud to reach the portable toilets."If it really turns into a disaster, well, no one is going to have sympathy for us," Jed said. "I mean, it's Burning Man."

    

Due to recent rainfall, the Bureau of Land Management and the Pershing County Sheriff's Office officials have closed the entrance to Burning Man for the remainder of the event. Please avoid traveling to the area; you will be turned around. All event access is closed. pic.twitter.com/BY8Rv7eFLD— Washoe Sheriff (@WashoeSheriff) September 2, 2023

。     8 月 25 日消息，过去几年，全球科技巨头通过新品发布会、媒体采访和大量广告不断向公众灌输一个观点：AI 很快就会改变生活中的几乎一切。OpenAI CEO 奥尔特曼却反其道而行之，主动去修正这种过于激进的预期。奥尔特曼在 23 日公布的播客节目中承认，自己和其他 AI 支持者可能高估了 AI 普及的速度，要达到谷歌搜索或 iPhone 那样深入大众日常生活的程度，恐怕还需要更长时间。

B | 奥尔特曼认为，最大的阻力之一其实来自人的习惯。

C | 绝大多数人已经非常习惯现有的技术和工作方式，很难迅速改用 Codex 这样的 AI 原生平台。即使新工具功能十分强大，企业投入再多营销费用，也很难让用户立即改变多年形成的使用习惯。

D | 奥尔特曼坦言：“我觉得自己在几件事上判断错了。其中一点就是，经济本身的惯性实在太大。人们还是会继续做原来的事情…… 继续从同一家公司买东西，继续用原来的方式使用工具。

E | 从很多方面来说，我觉得这其实是好事，它会让我们面前这场巨大转型变得更平稳、更缓慢，我对此很感激。

F | 但这也意味着，我们所有人对时间表的判断都太激进了……”获悉，奥尔特曼进一步指出，改变人的行为比科技圈的人想象中困难得多。他把 AI 的普及比作 Netflix 成立初期：当 Netflix 还只是邮寄 DVD 的公司时，人们依然照常去百视达租影片，并没有因为新模式出现就立刻改变习惯。奥尔特曼同时承认，科技业至今没有成功让普通公众真正接受行业所设想的未来，即每个人身边都会有超级智能，而且足够安全的 AI 智能体提供帮助。“作为一个行业，我们并没有很好地向人们解释这些技术究竟有什么好处，以及其中的负面影响可以怎样减轻。
