Listening to Ursula van der Leyen's speech about 'AI' - was the example she used actually about Gen AI or machine learning. I thought it was the latter

Chatting just now with local Kent winegrower at farmer's market. This year's grapes are "smaller than peas" - not going to bother to harvest. What did he think of politicians saying 'hey enjoy your English sparkling wine thanks to climate change'? "Fucking morons."

Fun fact: during WWII when Britain was rationing food and wanted to ensure good nutrition for all (which was a big part of the reason for the rationing) - one of the first things they did was decrease beef and lamb production because they knew that high veg diets are a more efficient use of space.

Corn and wheat prices jump to highest prices in more than three years
Corn and wheat futures have surged to their highest levels in more than three years. But the reasons for these recent rallies are notably different.

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

Think of CO₂ removal like a time machine. How far back does planting 100 million trees take us? One mature tree takes up ~25 kg of CO₂/year, so 100 million trees will take up 2.5 MtCO₂. That's a time machine that takes us back ~33 minutes in a year. Nature will not save us from fossil fuel CO₂.

I try to strike a balance between appreciating that we're still early on the curve of tech that will enable electrification and that technology can't untie all knots. But some days I sit back and boggle at people who insist that we won't see fossil fuels get knocked off their pedestal anytime soon.

The Trump regime has eased sanctions on Russian oil and lifted sanctions on five Belarusian entities. Trump is fiercely loyal to Putin. He is determined to boost the Russian war economy and reward Russia for the help it gives Iran in killing American soldiers.

We need to get real. Met Éireann is not to blame for flooding damage - poor planning, building on flood plains, not implementing over 20 years of remedial action are. We were warned decades ago winter rain would increase, but continued doing nothing and built on space needed for water #spéirghorm

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

Someone should tell him how much the oil industry gets in subsidies & the amount of renewable capacity you could build with that kind of investment. Pumping the $1.4 trillion provided directly & indirectly globally for oil each year into solar would make quite a difference.
