'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

Technology is politics.

You can't embed Palantir into the army, the police and the health service without embedding its poisonous politics.

So there's no place for Palantir in our NHS.

The Green Party have won more elections since 2024 than Reform, they have collected more votes.

Yet Reform get all the TV coverage and the Green Party get none.

Yet Reform aren't as popular even when they are shoved down your throat.

Jo Maugham: The significance of Trans Mission | Good Law Project Trans joy, hope and solidarity were at Wembley Arena in abundance, reflects Jo Maugham

Really significant, I think, that the leaders of the Greens and Lib Dems were very visible at Transmission, very happy to publicly demonstrate a commitment to the dignity of trans people. But the Labour frontbench, which still likes to cosplay respect for human rights, was nowhere to be seen.

​​​​Cost of Net Zero by 2050 less than a single fossil fuel price shock​ – CCC  - Climate Change Committee The independent, statutory body tested its cost and energy security conclusions against different scenarios. It found that the total additional cost of a single fossil fuel price spike of 2022 magnitu...

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne no longer interested in Reform-Tory pact Donor who has given £12m to Reform UK had previously wanted Nigel Farage to keep open mind about deal with Conservatives

Crypto billionaire no longer interested in Reform-Tory pact.

He lives in Thailand, given £12m to Reform UK.

Farage pushes for wider adoption of cryptocurrency, promised to cut tax on crypto.

Another example of the super-rich buying power/influence, shaping public choices.

UK energy prices are soaring – and propagandists want to sell you a false reason why | George Monbiot The war on Iran has put fossil-fuel prices centre stage, but don’t believe those who tout ‘maximising the North Sea’ as our salvation, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

If it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between fossil-fuel lobbyists and the billionaire press, that's because there isn’t one.
My column on the politicians, journalists and junktanks using the Iran crisis as an excuse to extract our remaining gas and oil.

A Green perspective on the Planning and Infrastructure Act Everyone agrees that Britain needs to get building houses – urgently. However, does the new Act enable this at the cost of the environment?

Opinion: Rolling back protections for habitats and chalk streams won’t solve the housing crisis, argues Green MP Adrian Ramsay.

We should be completely clear that the consensus of the Western ruling class is that expressing "from the river to sea" is orders of magnitude worse than presiding over a genocide.
