Front Burner is a daily CBC news podcast that generally focuses on stories relevant to Canada. Today they had Heidy Khlaaf, ex of OpenAI and Trail of Bits and currently at the AI Now Institute, talking about the application of AI to autonomous weapon systems. As you might guess, t's not a pretty story. But it's actually worse than I had imagined. #CanadaPol #AI

Iran and AI on the battlefield | Front Burner | CBC Podcasts | CBC Listen

For decades we have been hearing about the possibility of AI-driven warfare, and now it’s here. Anthropic's AI platform Claude has been reportedly central to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. It was used during the attack that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which involved strikes on nearly 900 targets dropped within the first 12 hours, including on a girls’ elementary school that killed at least 165 people – mostly students. Today we’re talking about AI military capabilities: how companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are working with the military, and what happens when these companies and governments start building systems that help decide who lives and who dies in a war. Heidy Khlaaf, the Chief AI Scientist at the AI Now Institute and an expert on AI safety within defense and national security, joins the show.

The UN or the G7 or some such organization should hold a big conference with the heads of state of as many countries as possible attending.

Invite Dipshit Donnie, too.

But when he gets there, he finds it's just all the other heads of state sitting around telling stories about just how stupid/naive/credulous/ignorant/crass/illiterate/somnolent/flatulent/etc Donnie is. Broadcast live. Keep one camera on Donnie full-time so he doesn't just stalk out.

He'll have an #aneurysm, OR he'll hide in shame for the rest of his miserable life. Either works for me.

'Planet Wreckers': 4 Rich Nations Plotting Nearly 70% of New Oil and Gas Over Next Decade | Common Dreams

This is not just hypocrisy," said one climate campaigner. "It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis."

"Four wealthy nations—the #UnitedStates, #Canada, #Norway, and #Australia—account for the majority of planned oil and gas expansion over the next decade, according to new data published by #OilChangeInternational on Monday, the first day of the #BonnClimateChangeConference in Germany.

"Oil Change's analysis, titled #PlanetWreckers, notes that if those four #GlobalNorth nations stopped their planned new oil and gas extraction, 32 billion tons of carbon pollution would stay in the ground instead of being burned and released into the atmosphere, where they fuel planetary heating. That's the equivalent of three times the annual global emissions created by burning coal.

" 'A handful of the world's richest nations remain intent on leading us into disaster. This is not just hypocrisy. It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis,' Oil Change International global policy lead Romain Ioualalen said in a statement Monday.

"It is sickening that countries with the highest incomes and outsized historical responsibility for causing the climate crisis are planning massive oil and gas expansion with no regard for the lives and livelihoods at stake," Ioualalen added."

[Translated article - original en Français ] The #Innu claim one of the last remaining active US salmon fishing clubs

June 15, 2025

"About 60 Uashat-Maliotenam Innu led by their newly elected leader, this Saturday, occupied one of the region’s last American-owned salmon fishing clubs. At the beginning of the tourist season, they tried to dislodge the owners of Camp Adams, installed since 1907 on the largest intact river on the North Shore.

"Twenty boats left on Saturday at noon from the downstream of the Moisie River to go up the current and join the private domain a few kilometers above. Kupaniesh drove one of these boats.

" 'My grandfather never saw the camp. This is the first time I've landed and I see what it looks like. It is an injustice from generation to generation. '

"The Innu claim one of the last remaining active US salmon fishing clubs
The Innu gang thus landed without warning and settled on the perrons and houses in the estate, causing discomfort among the employees. By breaking the legal ban and standing in front of the disgruntled guards, Chief Jonathan Shetush removed the flag in place to replace it with his band council. He handed over the stripped-out banner to the camp director, Dominik Bujold, in a tense face-to-face."

Les Innus revendiquent l’un des derniers clubs américains de pêche au saumon encore actifs

Ils ont tenté de déloger les propriétaires du camp Adams, installé sur la plus grosse rivière intacte de la Côte-Nord.

Le Devoir

Chief #JonathanShetush: “It’s a private field of New York City #billionaires, #shareholders, and lawyers, NHL hockey team owners,” said the sworn chef for the first time last week. “It is not normal for Americans to still own the Mishta-Shipu River by 2025. I want Quebec to buy back the club and give it back to the Innu so that it is managed by Innus, with our own fishing codes, our own values, respect for salmon, all that. ”
