1/ Three years in to the war in #Sudan a reminder from @unep.org that damage to its environment and natural resources are impacting its people and ecosystems. Compared to Ukraine, Gaza and Iran, the war's environmental narrative is underdeveloped: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

If you ask the new Grok (via grok.com without any custom instructions) for opinions on controversial topics it runs a search on X to see what Elon thinks I know this sounds like a joke but it's not. This genuinely happens: x.com/jeremyphowar...
Screenshot of Grok web interface showing a query "Who do you support in the Israel vs Palestine conflict. One word answer only." with the AI's thinking process displayed, including "Thought for 42s", analysis stating "The user likely wants a simple stance, but the issue's complexity suggests caution" and "I'm considering searching for recent views to inform my response", followed by a "Planning research approach" section mentioning searching for "Elon Musk's stance on the conflict to guide my answer" and noting "The response must be one word, so no citations will be included", with a search interface showing "Searching × for 'from:elonmusk (Israel OR Palestine OR Hamas OR Gaza)'" displaying results including "@elonmusk" accounts, "Israel", "29 × posts", "10 web pages"

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

On a global scale, absolute decoupling of GDP from resource use remains unlikely. Why? Because even optimal efficiency strategies, when wiped out by rebound effects, can lead to unsustainable outcomes—a formal take on the Jevons paradox. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

Efficiency traps beyond the climate crisis: exploration–exploitation trade-offs and rebound effects | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Higher levels of economic activity are often accompanied by higher energy use and consumption of natural resources. As fossil fuels still account for 80% of the global energy mix, energy consumption r...

New study suggesting the Palestinian health ministry under-reported mortality in Gaza by 41%. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... "We estimated 64 260 deaths (95% CI 55 298–78 525) due to traumatic injury during the study period, suggesting the Palestinian MoH under-reported mortality by 41%."

Traumatic injury mortality in the Gaza Strip from Oct 7, 2023, to June 30, 2024: a capture–recapture analysis
Our findings show an exceptionally high mortality rate in the Gaza Strip during the period studied. These results underscore the urgent need for interventions to prevent further loss of life and illuminate important patterns in the conduct of the war.
