The new climate reports are scary, but what’s even scarier is the hold the fossil fuel industry has on the world.

Without them influencing our politics and economies, those climate reports would be a lot less scarier.

That’s why the industry should be banned from all future climate negations.

The consequences of the recent GEMA vs. OpenAI decision will be very interesting for "coding agents" and the sources they vomit out. Cause a lot of the code their developers accumulated is GPL-licensed.

That final point is absolutely crucial.
The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

Exactly this
If Starmer had said, on day one, ‘we need to change the way we talk about immigration. Immigration is not in itself a problem - very much the opposite. It doesn’t cause the problems with housing, health, transport or education that years of Tory mismanagement has caused,’ everything changes.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
