Long-Exposure Photos of California Wildfires at Night

Not that I know off , but this was a study published by Animal Ethics about Wildlfires in Madrid in case this could be helpful - https://www.animal-ethics.org/animal-ethics-is-funding-a-study-of-the-effects-of-fires-on-animals-in-the-wild/

How (not) to fundraise from Anthropic staff

Adapted from my Substack, Funding Anthropalypse. Short version: if you want a share of the coming Anthropic and OpenAI windfall - the $37bn+ that could be in play next year - the way in is to become 'legibly excellent', so the evaluators and donors that frontier lab staff already trust point them to yo...
