Yes, it's long. Yes, it's complex. Yes, it's detailed. And yes, it will make you sad unto nihilistic depression. But it's also necessary to read because AI is going to fuck the planet beyond expression. www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1...
We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

What is very disturbing to me here is charges of "harbouring protesters", something that given the unquestionably legal status of protest means "hanging out". You cannot do a security check to see if people are hanging out.
Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Nice to see Greenpeace pushing back against the still common “population is the problem” narratives that inevitably lead to ecofascism.
The planet can support billions but it can’t support billionaires.
Enough is enough, it’s time to resist. It’s time to stop the billionaire takeover which threatens the future of life on earth.
Sign our pledge to fight the billionaire takeover. Add your name now: bit.ly/4dFaD5U

Boycott Unbound/Boundless. They shut down the company, transferred the publishing rights, and not paying the authors. Give them hell.
I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone.

Authors published by the crowdfunding publisher Unbound will not receive historic royalty payments for sales of their books, unless Boundless, the new publisher founded following Unbound going into administration, "survives and thrives" 👇 #BookSky
