1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot

The attached screen grab should make everybody who programs AI systems pay attention. As programmers, we should never forget that so-called AI is just numbers and probabilities.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The US ceased to be a reliable NATO ally on January 20, 2025. The last week has simply made that undeniable. The only question now is whether European leaders accept it.
The USA will not now defend Europe from Russia. That is reality. Everything else is hopes and dreams.

I'm watching a town hall with a man in his 70s in Iowa saying he was there when we were told computer jobs would replace our manufacturing and other jobs and give us more time off and more money.
In that same time $75 trillion dollars flowed from the working class to the one percent.
They lied.

They don’t care about higher energy bills.
It’s all about the profits and controlling the flow of energy that generates those profits.
They have to ‘own’ the source of energy to control it.
