Nobody’s done a good job of explaining why equally intelligent Chinese researchers aren’t tweaking about this - and “they’re not allowed to” isn’t sufficient explanation given the degree of psychosis among American AI people.

“Native Australian bushland continues to be cleared at massive scale for cattle grazing, threatening the Great Barrier Reef and climate targets” www.smh.com.au/environment/...

Can Australians have their 49 million burgers and their forests too?
Australia is the only wealthy nation still clearing native vegetation for beef despite the efforts of major buyers to meet goals to clear their supply chains.

Interesting policy proposals today on privacy regulation. Basically destroys a lot of the "if it's free, you're the product" business models, gives right to erasure, and an ID lock through Mygov. Most media? "What about the glasses". Out of their depth. Watch it www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPlp...

Couple thoughts on the recent resurgence of "scientific" racism. 1) This is usually treated as a science=head/humanities=heart problem. It is increasingly clear that this is a false framing. Lot of major players are emerging within the humanities (esp phil. depts). Biosci is largely steering clear

Folks I won’t tell you not to feel your feelings, but this is rage bait. He’s talking about expanding beyond politics into things like live sports.
Yeah, we want to expand it. "Breaking" is maybe the wrong word, but yes, we want to expand more and more so that Bluesky means not just one thing, not just liberal politics, for example. I will point to sports as an example from the last year. We've made a very concerted effort to bring on sports leagues and sports writers, and it's worked really well. There are a ton of sports conversations now on the app, and those people come here for the sports, not for the liberal politics. It's possible to expand.

Almost as bad as feeding 78% of the global soy crop to brutally exploited, emissions generating farmed animals, thereby destroying ~90% of its nutritional value. ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets
ourworldindata.org
If the world adopted a plant-based diet, we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectares
We could reduce the amount of land used for grazing and croplands used to grow animal feed.

Neo-fascism is not a materialist response to anything. It is a revolt of the privileged, so bored by their prosperity that they are reigniting world-historical ideological struggle just to feel something for once in their miserable, empty lives.

“Why would we engage now, two years out and on her terms? It’s a distraction,” one Labor MP said. “She craves attention and we have a job running the country.” Exactly. Nothing to be gained by playing politics on Hanson’s terms. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Definitely some truth to this one. Whether the exact sum is $10m or $100m, there is definitely a point where you could live in luxury as anyone could reasonably define it for the rest of your life, and people who carry on rather than selling after that are definitionally at least a bit megalomaniac

Beef consumption gets framed as "no ethical consumption under capitalism" when it uses infinitely more water than AI, which gets framed as "you are a bad person if you use ChatGPT." I'm not a fan of AI either, but it's just evidence that no one thinks about what they're saying.

Israeli soldiers used a tank to ram the vehicles of U.N. peacekeepers in Lebanon twice on Sunday, the peacekeeping force said in a statement. The force, known as UNIFIL, said the soldiers had blocked a road used to access peacekeeper positions in southern Lebanon and that they had “continually blocked peacekeepers’ movements” there in recent days.
