I've never needed convincing. But I've seen the devastation of forest fires. I know people who had to evacuate their homes, not knowing if there'd be anything to get back to. I'm now more convinced than ever. Climate change is real. And it's everybody's responsibility to do even the tiniest bit.

Yesterday afternoon 14:09 in Lacanau Océan in France. A pale red sun through the smoke tinged everything in Mars style orange. Welcome in the climate emergency! Despite all denial of the fossil fuel lobby, it’s scientific fact: CO2 emissions heat up Earth & make fires worse. 🔥🔥🔥

This isn’t tens of thousands of poor people losing their homes in the global south, but tens of thousands of rich people fleeing a popular vacation spot in the south of France, so maybe the rich countries will finally care about climate change.

I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting: 2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight 2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose" Not one safeguard survived intact

Collage titled "Trust is not Governance — an essay from inside Google DeepMind, written in personal capacity."

A 2014 memorandum, "Conditions of the Acquisition," lists: military applications of DeepMind technology banned; deployment decisions before an independent ethics board (as reported in Mallaby's The Infinity Machine).

Red threads lead to a 2026 U.S. Department of Defense agreement for classified networks reading "any lawful government purpose," with safety settings and filters adjusted at the government's request and no contractor veto (reported terms, The Information, Apr. 2026).

The map shows Switzerland’s 4 national languages without the uninhabited high mountain areas. Suddenly the country’s linguistic geography makes more sense: German dominates the north and centre, French the west, Italian the south, and Romansh survives in pockets of the east.
