Title: "The Haters" panel 1. Two round characters sit in a cinema. Yellow blob "I hate this!" Red Blob "Me too!" Panel 2. They have left the cinema Red blob "I hated every minute of that film! It was nothing like the book!" Panel 3. "Did you like the book?" asks Yellow. Red replies "I hated it!" then asks "You?" Panel 4. Yellow blob "I've not read it. I hated the film purely on its own merits." Panel 5. Red blob "I'll lend you my copy." Yello blob"That's very kind." Panel 6. Caption: "Later" Yellow, reading the book "I hate this!" Red (happily) "I knew you would!!"

Oliver Metcalfe, head of wind research at BloombergNEF. “Challenged by razor-thin margins at home, Chinese suppliers are leveraging lower-cost production and fast delivery to enter new markets and undercut established rivals across Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.” Outside mainland China, new additions also rose, increasing 17% year-on-year to 43GW. For the first time since wind power emerged as a major global force, India edged out the US and Germany to claim the title of biggest wind market outside mainland China. India’s climb is bolstered by complex auctions, which typically require developers to integrate multiple renewable technologies or oversize projects beyond their contracted capacity, particularly in wind. “India fully deserves its place as the second-largest wind market in the world.” said Siddharth Shetty, BNEF’s lead wind analyst for India. “The sector is reaping the rewards of complex auctions, pioneered by India’s clean power auctioning agencies in 2018. And this momentum is not fading. We expect wind build to continue at similar levels through the end of this decade.”

China and India making the smart choice while Europe bafflingly decides this is the perfect time to tighten the cuffs that are chaining us to ultra-expensive gas

Middle class kids like me can get one there every decade maybe. I’m about to throw a dart again.

If a tech company builds an ultra-polluting fossil fuel power station instead of connecting to the grid,

- Larger local regions do not get as mad (nearby communities suffer like xAI but they do not care about that)

- The US gas industry freaking out about low demand for LNG export gets relief?

Again re-stating my conspiracy theory that all of this serves as a way to pressure companies to build on-site behind-the-meter fossil gas generation as part of a crony capitalist deal with the fossil fuel companies to fabricate demand for their expensive product

Tegneserie, én rute. På rutas venstre side en liten gjeng med mennesker trykkende på sine mobiltelefoner. Over disse menneskene er ordene "*prompt!* prompt!* prompt!* prompt!* prompt!*". På rutas venstre side er det to mennesker. Det ene mennesket sitter ved et lerret med en pensel i hånda. Det andre mennesket står over han. Det stående mennesket spør: "What are you doing all the way back here?". Mennesket som maler på lerretet svarer "Getting left behind."

Eg må ærleg seie at eg ikkje har følgt så nøye med på dei juridiske utviklingane rundt #KI her i landet. Så etter å ha lese denne saka, lurar eg jo: er vi eigentleg klare for ei verd der kven som helst kan sette opp ein «KI-agent» med frie tøyler og tilgang til internett?

Screenshot of a Bluesky Post: It includes a screenshot of a Post by Simon Willison (a very well-known AI in coding fan and promoter) talking about how he and some friends came up with the term "deep blue" for "the sense of psychological ennui leading into existential dread that many software developers are feeling thanks to LLMs right now" The poster (Abstract Tesseract) adds the remark: "AI enthusiast podcasters recreating labor alienation from first principles while repeatedly pulling the lever on the labor alienation machine"

I laughed for a second. Then I got very sad.

Front page of a Danish slide deck pitching ridesharing to Danish municipalities.

Sad to learn today that one of the ridesharing pioneers in Denmark, GoMore is closing that part of their business (they’ll now focus on peer2peer car-sharing).

Particularly since (real) ridesharing was what originally drew me into the world of sustainable transport.

X etterforskes i Frankrike – mistenkes for spredning av overgrepsbilder av barn Kontoret til det sosiale mediet X i Paris er blitt ransaket, og Elon Musk er innkalt av fransk politi til en samtale. X mistenkes både for spredning av overgrepsbilder og innblanding i fransk politikk. Ransakingen av kontoret skjedde tirsdag. Påtalemyndigheten i den franske hovedstaden opplyser at Musk og X' tidligere toppsjef Linda Yaccarino er innkalt til frivillige samtaler. Etterforskningen begynte i fjor etter anklager om at X' algoritme ble brukt til innblanding i fransk politikk. Nå er etterforskningen utvidet til å omfatte besittelse og spredning av KI-genererte seksualiserte bilder av kvinner og overgrepsbilder av barn.

Det er jo så en kan få inntrykk av at X er en plattform for ytre høyre og overgripere (men jeg gjentar meg selv)
