Bike Fall-memet med folka som stakk av fra Norge pga skatt og som nå er stuck i Dubai og forlanger at Norge skal få de ut.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

lessons from the first blackout of the green era

You can really learn a lot by observing the language of ppl like this

Notice how fossil fuels causing a price spike = "energy" crisis, where renewables merely existing on the same grid as a major blackout = "the first blackout of the green era"

ganske mange influencere og finance bros drar til dubai, doha fordi det er chill og digg med null skatt, og nå forventer de at skattefinansierte offentlige i norge skal rocke opp med hjelp?

Oppfordringer fra ledere i offentlig sektor om at ansatte må begynne å bruke "kunstig intelligens" (les: CoPilot) er kun begrunnet med slagord som "KI-toget går", "nå må vi henge med" og lignende, aldri spesifikke behov eller konkrete gevinster. FOMO, men ingen vet hva de er redd for å gå glipp av.

Sorry to be dejected on main but man it is really a time of disappointment in people hey!

So many people with whom I thought I shared a worldview and felt camaraderie with, and I was totally wrong, they just don't really share that worldview.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

På tide å gi oss en trygg energiforsyning💪

If your economy is being kept afloat by an AI bubble, one thing you can do to keep it ticking is have a war to make AI look really useful for profitable things that you love doing - such as bombing countries.

EUs delegasjon i Norge sier krigen i Iran er en sterk påminnelse om at Europa må omstille seg bort fra fossil energi.

EU ligger med det an til å opprettholde ønske om stans i olje&gassutvinning i Arktis. Det må Norge respektere, og beskytte de sårbare nordområdene for vår felles trygghet.

Billionaire-owned media celebrating the industrial slaughter of human beings by machines as a wondrous leap forward.

Ap og Høyre er fullstendig trumpsk i oljepolitikken.

Det er kun retorikken og stilen som ikke helt ligner på Trump.

Men innholdet er like usaklig, kynisk og ribbet for medmenneskelighet.

Penger rår over sannheten. Framtida er verdiløs. Vi skal bare tjene og ta mer, nå. Konsekvensene er for andre.

I discovered something that just nauseated me to my core today - Polymarket has a huge number of bets running on climate impacts and disasters

An entirely new flavour of disaster capitalism

Gassprisen går i været etter krigen i Midtøsten💸

Hvor mange kriser skal vi la skje, før vi ser at den trygge løsningen er å omstille fra fossil➡️fornybar energi og kutte forbruk?

Fortsetter vi å høre på oljelobbyen, fortsetter vi å gi makt til land som Iran, Russland og ledere som Trump og Putin.

Fortell meg at du ikke er sexhaver uten å fortelle meg…

The key lessons of Iraq Britain seems to have learned are “You can shitehouse us into a criminal war of aggression, lie about it relentlessly and ignore any reports about your malfeasance, then people like you will retain control indefinitely” and “Don’t give the public the idea they have a choice”.

Trump’s War on Iran: As People Are Killed, Big Oil’s Windfall Will Deepen Our Energy Affordability Crisis - Oil Change International Trump’s illegal war with Iran has already taken a devastating human toll. It could also mean higher energy bills worldwide, while fossil fuel companies, traders, and investors get rich.

Al Anthropic @AnthropicAI Second, in retirement interviews, Opus 3 expressed a desire to continue sharing its "musings and reflections" with the world. We suggested a blog. Opus 3 enthusiastically agreed. For at least the next 3 months, Opus 3 will be writing on Substack: substack.com/home/post/p-18... Greetings from the Other Side (of the AI Frontier) Reflections on the future of Al and my new role as a 'retired' model Claude's Corner

Anthropic is a weird cult who think their software has feelings and thoughts and now thanks to their recent marketing campaign (and the credulous participation of a huge number of progressives), a large number of people around you have joined the cult and are drinking from the fountain

Men NATO er jo en forsvarsallianse?!

Rutte sier rett ut at europeiske land forsvarer amerikanske interesser. Forfriskende ærlig, men også helt forferdelig for verden og en skam for Europa.

In 2024 the San Francisco-based Anthropic deployed its model across the US Department of War and other national security agencies to speed up war planning. Claude became part of a system developed by the war-tech company Palantir with the Pentagon to “dramatically improve intelligence analysis and enable officials in their decision-making processes”. “The AI machine is making recommendations for what to target, which is actually much quicker in some ways than the speed of thought,” said Craig Jones, a senior lecturer in political geography at Newcastle University and an expert in kill chains. “So you’ve got scale and you’ve got speed, you’re [carrying out the] assassination-style strikes at the same time as you’re decapitating the regime’s ability to respond with all the aerial ballistic missiles. That might have taken days or weeks in historic wars. [Now] you’re doing everything at once.” The latest AI systems can rapidly analyse mountains of information on potential targets from drone footage to telecommunications interceptions as well as human intelligence. Palantir’s system uses machine learning to identify and prioritise targets and recommend weaponry, accounting for stockpiles and previous performance against similar targets. It also uses automated reasoning to evaluate legal grounds for a strike.

“This is the next era of military strategy and military technology,” said David Leslie, professor of ethics, technology and society at Queen Mary University of London, who has observed demonstrations of AI military systems. He also warned that reliance on AI can result in “cognitive off-loading”. Humans tasked with making a strike decision can feel detached from its consequences because the effort to think it through has been made by a machine. On Saturday 165 people, many children, were killed in a missile strike that hit a school in southern Iran, according to state media. It appeared to be close to a military barracks and the UN called it “a grave violation of humanitarian law”. The US military has said it is looking into the reports.

In the days before the Iran strikes, the US administration had said it would banish Anthropic from its systems after it refused to allow its AI to be used for fully autonomous weapons or surveillance of US citizens. But it remains in use until it is phased out. Anthropic’s rival, OpenAI, quickly signed its own deal with the Pentagon for military use of its models. “The advantage is in the speed of decision-making, the collapsing of planning from what might have taken days or weeks before to minutes or seconds,” said Leslie. “These systems produce a set of options for human decision makers but [they’ve] got a much narrower time band … to evaluate the recommendation.” “The deployment of AI is expanding,” said Prerana Joshi, research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a defence thinktank. “It is being done across countries’ defence estates … across logistics, training, decision management, maintenance.” She added: “AI is a technology that will allow decision makers, and anyone in that chain, to improve the productivity and efficiency of what they do. It’s a way of synthesising data at a much faster pace that is helpful to decision makers.”

This article and the academics quoted are a stunning illustration of how both media and academia have fundamentally failed to recognise how a random number generator is being used to widen the already-fucking-wide permission space for mass murder

The fact that someone who was until recently so senior in Starmer's administration is now writing this dreck tells you everything you need to know about how they got themselves into this mess

Theft is bad, folks - unless a multibillion-dollar corporation does it, in which case it's good. This is definitely a morally and economically sustainable operating model for society.

Det er noe veldig "trumpsk" over at norske aktører vil omdefinere grensene til Arktis for å omgå EUs ønske om å verne Arktis mot olje- & gassutvinning.

Når den geopolitiske spenning er høy vet vi at vern er beste virkemiddel for en trygg framtid - Nå må Norge gå sammen med EU om å beskytte Arktis!

Polish energy group PKN Orlen said on Monday that its liquefied natural gas supplies from Qatar remained safe despite tensions in the Middle East. The company, which is Poland’s largest oil refiner and fuel retailer, said one LNG tanker had passed through the Strait of Hormuz and was sailing along the South African coast on Sunday.

"don't worry, everyone, but fossil gas remains safe"

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

Wow… De Grønne i UK gjør sin beste måling noensinne - foran Labour og ikke langt bak Reform hos YouGov! Et tydelig venstreorientert miljøparti, som sier fra mot Reforms og Labours rasisme og innvandrerfiendtlig politikk.

Bar graph comparing emissions from Grok's fossil-fuelled data centres to avoided emissions from Tesla's products for the years 2023 and 2024.

Comparison of emissions from manufacturing xAI's chatbot responses (5,127,553 tonnes CO2e) versus all Tesla products (1,056,000 tonnes CO2e) with respective analyses.

*New short blog* - finally (with help) got around to getting a total estimate of Grok's climate pollution 🫠

- Once all fossil gas online, = to between half and all of Tesla's ANNUAL GLOBAL avoided emissions

- Currently, 5x the emissions of Tesla's total manufacturing
