Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

"I am not anti-AI. I use AI tools in my work every day. This is not about rejecting technology"

So basically this is a call to substitute ChatGPT with a competitor.

Obtaining what, precisely?

“È inquietante che gli obiettivi della tecnocrazia americana nei confronti dell'UE siano strettamente allineati con quelli del regime di Putin in Russia, che cerca di minare l'unità europea nel perseguimento del revisionismo geopolitico e spesso si affida alle forze di estrema destra europee”

How Iran War Is Threatening Global Oil and Gas Supplies One-fifth of the global oil supply and substantial amounts of natural gas travel through the Strait of Hormuz, which has become a no-go zone for many tankers as fighting continues.

“Every day, around 80 oil and gas tankers typically pass through the Strait of Hormuz (…).

On Monday, just two oil and gas tankers appear to have crossed the strait, according to a New York Times analysis”

Some of Australia’s biggest data centre operators have more than doubled their reported carbon emissions over the past five years, as the exponential growth of the sector leads to a major rise in demand on the power grid and puts pressure on the government’s climate agenda.
Top data centre operators Amazon, AirTrunk and CDC all declared annual scope two emissions increases of more than 20 per cent in 2024-25 and more than 100 per cent since 2020-21, according to new figures published by the Clean Energy Regulator.

The technology industry has argued that the energy demands of data centres will support the rollout of renewable power because they will sign the long-term power purchase agreements needed to make projects financially viable.

The emissions of Australia's top data centre operators have doubled over the past few years. You can see why Amazon Australia fought so hard to try and keep these numbers hidden.......

Il nuovo Regolamento darebbe alla polizia il diritto di perquisire case e sedi di ONG alla ricerca di persone da rimpatriare. “Si va a creare un sistema parallelo a metà fra il diritto amministrativo e penale”, è l’allarme lanciato da Silvia Carta, advocacy officer presso PICUM

This seems like a deferred responsibility manoeuvre to me... A) how many people will actually add a 'mental health emergency contact'? B) This doesn't address the fact the algorithms are bringing on mental health emergencies. C) If the relative is unable to help do OpenAI consider it 'did enough'?

"Non faremo più affari con la Spagna"; "anche se ci hanno vietato di usare le basi spagnole noi le possiamo usare lo stesso"; anche gli UK hanno un pessimo leader.

Ogni volta che sento parlare Trump di "alleati" europei penso che potrebbe farci la guerra in un nulla, in futuro, se lo volesse.
