🚨 BREAKING: Norway BANS the use of AI in primary school, with its Prime Minister adding that children should focus on learning to write, read, and do math.
They have my full support.
This is not 2004 anymore. We are past the social media hype and seem to have learned the lesson.
Technology should not interfere with the learning process or with children's intellectual and emotional development.
Some steps should not be skipped, regardless of the shiny new tech available. AI can wait until they are older.
Kudos to Norway! Which country do you think will be next?
I'll keep you posted!

By 2050, about half of the European population may be exposed to high or very high risk of heat stress during summer.

Based on a handful of sources, this is what I've been able to glean about the New Glenn failure this evening in Florida. TL;DR, it's freaking bad.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

I just spoke with President @NicusorDanRO of Romania about the Russian drone that hit a residential building in Galati. I assured him of NATO’s absolute solidarity with Romania and expressed sympathy for those injured in the incident. I affirmed that NATO stands ready to defend every inch of Allied territory. We will continue to enhance our readiness to deter and defend against any threat, including from drones.
Russia’s reckless behaviour is a danger to us all. They continue to target civilians and civilian infrastructure across Ukraine. And last night showed yet again that the implications of their illegal war of aggression don’t stop at the border.
Russia’s war needs to end, as does Russia’s disregard for civilian safety. For our part, we will continue to strengthen our deterrence and defence at home and continue our support for Ukraine as they defend against Russia’s aggression.
Shock to the system 🥶
Unusually strong cold is pouring south out of the Arctic into Europe right now. This is an ideal setup for deep fresh snow accumulations in the Alps and flooding in Central Europe.
This is about as cold as it gets this early in September.
