I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. It’s incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

Why don't we hear more often about positive and encouraging developments in the world?! Why is the news so obsessed with promoting fascist messages and agenda?

“We have been running a system which is much more sovereign, much cheaper, with reduced cost by a factor of two, and we created a lot of jobs.. Now we are exporting renewable energy surpluses to our two big neighbors"

In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits. www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

Why Apple has not seriously attempted to make its Finder app functional for its customers in recent years is a mystery to me.

Rare intervention from Merkel here which is hard to disagree with. But I am also old enough to remember that she was the most powerful politician in the EU for most of her 16 years in office, and mostly shied away from far-reaching reforms.

One v. good thing in yesterday’s Dutch budget announcement: The Panorama Mesdag -an amazing circular painting of Scheveningen beach -will become an official state museum and start getting a subsidy of €1.8 million per year. “It’s the Night Watch of The Hague” the director says nos.nl/artikel/2582...

Really hoping that one of the big online distribution networks will screen again All Is Lost, an movie about survival at sea, and in my opinion, one of Redford's best works.

Redford was always a step ahead of time. An unassuming man, an environmentalist, who set up one of the best independent film festival on the planet. We need more people like him. Goodbye to a legend.

RIP!

The European AI Act has a number of transparency requirements for LLMs and AI systems / services downstream to adhere to in order to be offered on the European market. I assume that this will stop these idiosyncratic interventions.

TikTok's update of the Community Guidelines is excellent: so much more cat videos, I'm very much informed now about China's achievements in history, the left has surrendered, I hear, all Ukrainian accounts have been shadowbanned. You've got to love that sh*tshow. Wenn das Adorno erlebt hätte.

The Trump administration appears to be trying to make a global war on renewables. I spoke to @mkblyth.bsky.social for @drilledmedia.bsky.social about the strategy of carbon dominance, how this is shaping politics not just in the US but everywhere, and what that means for the future.
