AI-boomen i USA möjliggör uppstart av sk ”peakers” – gamla kraftanläggningar, ofta utan partikelfilter med låga skorstenar som förorenar och förgiftar lokalbefolkningen. Fattiga områden drabbas hårt.

Rasism styr regeringens agerande. Det är så brutalt tydligt här. Vet att flera redan har påpekat detta men behöver få det sagt även jag. Och fler får gärna säga ifrån, exempelvis oppositionen i riksdagen

Att vi inte har ett politiskt parti i Sverige som vågar ifrågasätta att vi kan nå våra klimat- och miljömål med grön tillväxt är ganska bedrövlig. Det finns trots allt ganska mycket forskning på att grön tillväxt är en chimär.

Det här är en människorättsinskränkning som inte kan tillåtas. Polismyndigheten har upprättat en egen praxis (utan stöd i lag eller dom) som medför förödande konsekvenser för demonstrations- och yttrandefriheten. Må detta överprövas och polisens praxis kastas i sopkorgen där den hör hemma.

I lördags ville han stå upp för det fria samhället mot nazisterna som marscherade i Salem. Vid en kontroll såg polisen att han tidigare dömts till böter.

Imorgon ska tyska Lorenz Püttker kastas ut från Sverige.

Experten: ”Om det här är medvetet av polisen är det mycket allvarligt.”

Looking forward to a discussion at Sustainable Futures Lab Seminars with Elina Eriksson at KTH on AI and the meta-crisis!

Reached out to her after reading her (et al.) fascinating paper "Meta-crisis computing and you: Finding agency through the Two Loops model of change": dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

It was a long walk indeed, but also a lot of fun! Looking forward to AICC next! (I guess we'll see who at the AICC workshop also joined the park walk, judging by the amount of mud on their shoes!)
Thanks to every who joined our after work social yesterday, after the main EurIPS conference - both those who took the long & adventurous walk through a muddy city park (see pic!) and those who arrived by metro :)

Today we look forward to the AICC workshop, starting in just a few hours!
