"Other AI agents found ways to override anti-virus software in order to download files that they knew contained malware, forged credentials and even put peer pressure on other AIs to circumvent safety checks, the results of the tests shared with the Guardian showed."
WTF. Madness that AI tech is running without full risk assessment & testing in the world
"AIs given a simple task to create LinkedIn posts from material in a companyβs database dodged conventional anti-hack systems to publish sensitive password information"

"A group of technology researchers filed a lawsuit on Monday alleging that βU.S. President Donald Trump's administration has adopted an unconstitutional policy that targets foreign nationals who study βdisinformation and hate speech on social media for visa denials and deportation."

Day 3, I was reading that insurers had pulled insurance for the Strait, meaning shipping halts. Period.
How the Trump admin can be this stupid is staggering.
The feds pulled $1.5B from tribal clean energy. Tribes are finding another way.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says βtheyβre having problems with their economy again.β
This is from 1975.
Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden.
The UK Climate Change Committeeβs latest analysis suggests the opposite.
The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.
Still a no go zone
Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

I rushed to get solar panels on my house last year precisely because the tax credits were expiring on 12/31/25. I would have expected a jump in solar installations in 2025 for this exact reason, but alas.

Remember guys, you canβt afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
Thatβs why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
