2. In education, the core mode of learning for two centuries โ€” the research paper โ€” was destroyed overnight. In science, delicate balances of incentives are being upturned by products like OpenAI's Prism, leading to catastrophic feedback loops that will undermine the entire enterprise.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For โ€˜doomsayersโ€™ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

The EUโ€˜s fight over the โ€šcombustion engine banโ€˜ was a waste of the publicโ€˜s attention. Performative politics. By 2035, collectors with special licenses may still want one, if they can pay for the fuel and find some last gas station. History doesnโ€˜t proceed in a linear fashion.

Elon Musk versus Wikipedia continues an age-old battle over truth Muskโ€™s Grokipedia wants to take us back to a time when established knowledge was controlled by one opaque voice

great piece from @ethanz.bsky.social on grokipedia: "it promises a backward-looking dystopia where one conspiracy-minded individual can overturn established knowledge, and where all other individual voices eventually blur into one opaque voice."

Good interview with @president.ecb.europa.eu talking to my colleague Martin Wolf. The most striking thing she said IMO was the strong call (personal, not @ecb.europa.eu's) for EU common borrowing for joint defence spending.

That's why all their phrases increasingly become a symbol of hypocrisy.
A symbol of the distance between those who speak and those who live in war.
A symbol of the fact that political courage has long since given way to profiteering, populism, and indecisiveness!

"This week will be decisive"...

โ€ฆmany of us, especially Ukrainians, have heard this phrase so often lately from many Western politicians, almost every couple of months, that it already sounds like a mockery... each time remaining just more chatter and populism.

5/5 For the first time in this war, deep strikes matter more than the situation on the ground.

Europe must help Ukraine scale up drone and missile production and fund more weapons.

Every strike brings the warโ€™s end closer
