As of right now the main purpose of AI is to make information searchable again in spite of the fall of google search.

The founder effects of "Twitter-type" social media platforms seem profound, and probably the default outcome is for them to (d)evolve into the worst versions of themselves. I'd think you'd have to take some specific steps at the start to avoid them becoming echo chambers.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's 1978 Harvard commencement address was the most controversial and commented-upon public speech of the 20th century.

He went to the center of power and prestige and told them they were a spiritual wasteland.

How Japan ignored climate critics and built a global natural gas empire
🇯🇵❤️🚢

Every six hours, somewhere in the world, an LNG shipment controlled by a Japanese company leaves a port. However, these tankers are only the tip of the iceberg

More proof FFG and loopy Greens are the primary culprits in cost of living as always. Getting you to subsidise electric companies while they make mega profits off charging you for the most expensive electricity in EU. Seriously how much more can you take?

So, tell me again how clean “green energy” really is? Mining for these raw materials would have to increase by >300% to achieve “net zero” goals, which would make that [arbitrary] target date by 2050 impossible.

Nuclear is by far the most efficient energy source we have, and it is the most “carbon-free” (and I use that term lightly) technology. Natural gas, while not carbon-free in the slightest, burns cleaner and is much more efficient than coal. If nuclear and natural gas aren't a part of the “solution” to wane us off fossil fuels, then you, as an environmentalist, cannot be take seriously.

"For global crisis narratives like Covid and anthropogenic climate change to gain traction, millions of well-meaning, caring people need to become convinced of their validity and virtuousness, and then unwittingly complicit in perpetuating perspectives that justify the relinquishing of our freedoms and rights – even our right to life."

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.

The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.

This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .

You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.

Going to have to learn some new tools.

17 mths ago a report stated children as young as 12 in state care were been sexually exploited by 'gangs of men', months later Roderic O Gorman's office deleted a report by a judge about child abuse in state care, no arrests made and the abuse has doubled since the initial report

A coal-fired power plant in China's Sichuan province.

China now emits more CO2 than the entire developed world combined—completely nullifying all the sacrifices you are being forced to make in the farcical push to achieve Net Zero.
