'When you ask an AI model to write you a joke or generate a video of a puppy, that query comes with a small but measurable energy toll and an associated amount of emissions spewed into the atmosphere.'

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

It’s not just Gaza.

Netanyahu’s extremist government is supporting the violent annexation of Palestinian land in the West Bank. This is illegal and immoral, and decades of American silence have enabled it.

NO MORE MILITARY AID FOR NETANYAHU.
Land Grab: Inside Israel’s Escalating Campaign for Control of the West Bank
Israeli seizure of Palestinian lands in the West Bank, often brutally, has accelerated, raising doubts about the prospects of a peaceful solution to the conflict.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Minns fails to understand that real democracy requires concerned citizens demonstrating against inhumanity, genocide, apartheid, colonialism and misuse of power. A Labor Premier must not sacrifice democratic rights on the altar of ill informed, short term, knee jerk reactions.

Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

I am shocked by Premier Minns- trashing democratic freedoms in NSW to appease authoritarian extremists who characterise the March for Humanity as violent.
A violent lie to protect genocide.

Linking the march across the bridge to the massacre is disgusting and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed of their giving tacit support for genocide

That’s why claims that AI is a huge problem for climate change puzzle me.

Sure, it’s not helping, but the numbers are still very, very small.

It’s something to watch, but right now it’s not a huge part of the climate story.

Peaceful protest against a genocide - by a broad range of Australians - are a concern for Minns.

Ok.

Now we know. #nswpol #auspol
