In this episode of Grounded Truth, host John Singleton interviews Dr. Geoffrey Fairchild, PhD, Group Leader of the Information Systems and Modeling Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. They delve into the exciting world of AI and discuss how it is transforming the industry. Dr. Fairchild provides insights into his team's work at Los Alamos, including developing algorithms for anomaly detection and forecasting. They also discuss the importance of transparency and interpretability in today’s Large Language Models (LLMs), especially when making decisions that impact human lives. Overall, this episode is a fascinating exploration of the cutting-edge research being done in AI and the ethical considerations that must be considered when implementing it.

Megaflashes are incredibly rare. In order to record one from the ground, or from an aircraft or satellite in a low orbit, the sensor has to be exactly in the right place at the right time, which is unlikely. Now, researchers are using Geostationary Lightning Mappers and other instruments that can map flash size from space and — importantly — provide continuous coverage over a large portion of the Earth. No matter how rare these megaflashes are or where they occur across the instrument’s vast field of view, GLM can detect them and measure their dimensions.

Come gather around the campfire and let me tell you about the radioactive secrets of Los Alamos and the town's shocking accidents. During and directly after World War II, scientists worked on secret nuclear projects across the United States as part of the Manhattan Project. Dr. Louis Slotin and Harry Daghlian were two such nuclear scientists working at Los Alamos National Laboratory on atomic experiments. Both of them would suffer terrifying radioactive accidents while using the same core of plutonium that would earn a notorious nickname: The Demon Core. Louis Slotin would later be fictionalized in the 1989 movie "Fat Man and Little Boy" as the character Michael Merriman, played by John Cusack. Come gather around the campfire, and let me tell you their story.
