The statement from the Irish president is well, presidential.
"As President of Ireland, I am very conscious
that Ireland and the United States of America
are bound by strong ties. This is a deep
connection, built over centuries, which allows
us to speak openly to one another.
We are in a world facing the existential threat
posed by war and climate change, both of
which are inextricably interlinked.
I conveyed the strong view of the Irish people
that the normalisation of war and genocide can
never be accepted.
As a country which has suffered famine,
colonisation and the violence of the Troubles,
but also the importance of the long and
challenging road to peace, I emphasised the
unique insight which Irish people can bring to
the resolution of conflict.

⚠️ Anthropic Researcher Quits Over ‘Out-of-Control’ AI Fears Concerns are rising inside AI labs that competition is pushing tech companies to race toward self-improving models that risk spiraling out of human control 🌀☠️
“I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.”

This is wild. 93% of the renewable electricity generation added to the Irish grid over that last decade now powers data centers, rather than reducing fossil fuel use. Data centers have pretty much annihilated the health and climate benefits those renewables could have provided.
