**Large language models without grounding recover non-sensorimotor but not sensorimotor features of human concepts**
“_We found that learning constrained to the language domain captures human-level conceptual representation in non-sensorimotor dimensions such as valence and emotional arousal but yields impoverished representation of sensorimotor knowledge._”

🇬🇷 **Greece is turning its back on coal and replacing it with solar and wind**
Hannah Ritchie & Pablo Rosado
“_The chart shows that just over a decade ago, almost half of the country’s power came from coal. This has now fallen to 6%._

Climate scientists: the climate has always changed, over very long timescales, due to many different natural factors
Everyone: yes, please tell me more…
Climate scientists: also, the recent rapid warming is primarily due to burning fossil fuels
Most people: thanks, perhaps we ought to do something about that?
Small minority and fossil fuel companies: it’s all a hoax… except the bit when you said the climate changed before
