Pas Legorafi: après France Travail, Lecornu annonce la création d'une plateforme nommée "France Munitions", qui sera "un grossiste de munitions". Objectif, répondre aux besoins des armées françaises, des pays alliés et des clients à l'export, financée à la fois "par l'Etat et par des investisseurs privés", ainsi qu'un plan de soutien à l'industrie civile et militaire de 300 millions d'euros. Les marchands d'armes se portent bien...

Thailand to send 284 tonnes of e-waste back to US

Containers found at Laem Chabang were falsely claimed to hold scrap metal from Haiti

This happens all over the world. There is a growing e-waste crisis and the Global North solution is to dump e-waste in the Global South by mis-labelling and all sorts of other tricks. Often, e-waste is sent as "second hand" equipment. The whole tech industry is built on a growing cesspit of toxic waste.

"AI data centers could stabilize the power grid"

The utterly cynical tech toxic optimism, innovation and progress. Nothing but the same old tired techie propaganda. That which is destroying you is actually saving you. AI--the devourer of electricity--is good for electricity. AI, that is putting incredible stress on the grid, is going to stabilize the grid. Such techie fantasy trash.

L’IA qu’on nous enfonce dans la gorge

Mon employeur s’est doté d’un service d’intelligence artificielle générative nommé Emmy. L’image que l’on aime parfois à donner de l’IA est celle d’une technologie libératrice, qu’il suffit de savoir utiliser à bon escient et que seuls des esprits grincheux critiquent. En réalité, elle automatise parfois ce qui ne devrait pas être automatisé, et n’automatise parfois pas ce qui devrait l’être.

The hero who disarmed a terrorist near Bondi beach has been identified as Ahmed al Ahmed.

Or as they say… another one of those damn Muslims coming over here with their heroism and intelligent thinking, saving our lives from the terrorists — it must be stopped.

Racists, wake up.

Universities should boycott the sleazy organizations that make money by ranking universities according to questionable criteria using non-transparent methods.

And they're starting to do it! The Sorbonne has just announced that it won't give data to the Times Higher Education rankings anymore. Columbia University and Utrecht University have also quit, as have the medical and law schools of Harvard and Yale.

700 research organizations, funders and professional societies have signed the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment in favor of making scientific research, data, methods, and educational resources transparent, accessible and reusable by everyone without barriers.

But we're a long way from getting there!
