Incredible
SoftBank said Tuesday it has sold its entire stake in U.S. chip maker Nvidia for $5.83 billion as the Japanese giant looks to capitalize on its "all in" bet on ChatGPT maker OpenAI

Ja, men det virker til at betalingskort er droppet. Det her er fra 13. oktober. (I øvrigt en totalt bullshit-excuse, det her system fungerer f.eks. i Nederlandene som ikke bruger fysiske barrierer alle steder)

I am just looking up a quote in a book I read a while ago, and getting pushed this useless AI 'research assistant' slop (using completely unnecessary computational energy). This is in software tailor-made for research and higher education. When will the madness end?

Det rene vanvid fra politiet - det her ligner mere smålig hævn end proportionel magtanvendelse. Fuldstændig uacceptabelt arrogance fra en person i en meget magtfuld position

@oliverstilling.bsky.social rammer hovedet på sømmet. @foljeton.dk
Politiets forklaring? “Jeg kan godt forstå, at folk synes, det kan se voldsomt ud. Men når vi bruger magt, er der et individuelt skøn af, hvad der virker. I det her tilfælde blev der brugt gas, og politiet måtte også trække knipler, fordi nogle aktivister hægtede sig til hinanden og nægtede at flytte sig. Vi kan ikke begynde at bære rundt på alle de aktivister,” udtalte vicepolitiinspektør Jakob Hansen fra Københavns Politi. Det er ikke i orden. Politiets “individuelle skøn” er forkert. At slå på aktivister svarer til at slå på FN's Menneskerettighedsråd.

Bennike negligerer det helt centrale problem, at den fossile kapitalisme har milliarder ude at svømme i fremtidige investeringer, der skal forrentes. De penge vil de have igen – med afkast. Og det skal de ikke have. Den kapital, som er investeret i nye kinesiske kulkraftværker, i amerikanske fracking-systemer, i hollandske, norske og danske olieboringer og rørledninger skal destrueres, afvikles uden afkast, hvis vi skal standse den globale overophedning og biosfæriske nedsmeltning.

New article! Really excited to share perhaps the most central outcome of our research on the security politics of solar geoengineering, led by @olafcorry.bsky.social and @duncanmclaren.bsky.social. Out now and open access in Review of International Studies doi.org/10.1017/S026...
Scientific models versus power politics: How security expertise reframes solar geoengineering Abstract Persistently rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations challenge dominant Liberal hopes that science and multilateralism might deliver rational, global climate outcomes. Emerging Realist climate approaches that take geopolitics and national interests more seriously have yet to explore Morgenthau’s concern that ‘scientism’ – exaggerated faith in scientific rationality to solve political problems – would lead to disastrous underestimations of power and irrationality. Recently, Realists have mooted ‘solar geoengineering’ designs as a ‘lesser evil’ option to deliberately cool the Earth independently of emissions reductions. However, assessments of solar geoengineering prospects barely factor in Realist concerns, focusing instead on idealised scientific modelling of bio-physical effects and Liberal governance scenarios. To explore how geoengineering techno-science would be ‘translated’ into security assessments, geopolitical logics were elicited through interviews and group discussions with (mainly Arctic-oriented) national security professionals. Security experts reframe solar geoengineering in three significant ways: (a) from a climate ‘global public good’ to a source of geopolitical leverage and disruption; (b) from a risk-reduction tool to a potential source of distrust and escalation; and (c) from a knowledge-deficit problem solvable by more research, to a potential disinformation vector. This expands Realist scholarship on climate change and identifies serious risks to ongoing scientific and commercial pursuit of such technologies.
