NASA’s climate crisis visualization is a reality check
The planet is getting hotter. Fast.
🏷️ AI content is getting labels.
Just like energy ratings or safety certifications help you make informed choices, the same logic now applies to AI.
From 2 August 2026, the AI Act will require clear labelling in key cases:
🔹 Deepfakes
🔹 AI-generated or manipulated content
🔹 Interactions with chatbots and AI systems
You have the right to know whether what you see, hear or read has been made or altered by AI 🤖
Wie krass ist das bitte?
Wow. The gloves are truly off.

Evening run in the heat. Tried some speed work, struggled.
Started the 6x1.5km workout because it's programmed into my watch already. Did 2x1.5km because that was more than enough in this heat, poor prep, and after not much running recently.
Trees were nice, got some pictures during warm-down.
Oh, and I found a big fat pile of pro-histamines.
(Probably should have popped some anti-s today).
SAN MATEO, CA—After spending the past three decades of his life being totally unable and unwilling to engage in any meaningful way with the world around him, James Parker, a local guy who sucks at being a person, told reporters Thursday that he saw huge potential in AI. “While it’s still in its early phase, artificial intelligence will one day accomplish things that humans could have never even dreamed of doing,” said Parker, who, by all accounts, has never stretched himself to do something he found difficult; has never created anything truly original; and, deep down, has absolutely zero understanding of what makes things good, enjoyable, or rewarding. “Just yesterday, I asked an AI program to write an entire sci-fi novel for me, and [as someone who will die an empty shell of a man who wasted his life doing nothing for the world and, perhaps, should never have been born] I was super impressed. Soon, humans won’t need to do anything at all! Awesome.” At press time, Parker added that as someone whose contributions to society would almost certainly be measured cumulatively as a net loss, he also saw great potential in the future of the metaverse.

PSA:
If your brilliant strategy when travelling is to put all your valuables/pocket contents in a hat when going through airport security, don't use a hat that will flip over inside the scanner 😐😐😐
Run on holiday the other night around le sunset.
Amazing light, almost 10km, but I went slightly too fast.
I'm now on a train, heading home from France.
Lithuania, Vilnius to be precise. Was something quite amazing actually.
Also, a wonderful city to visit, would recommend wholeheartedly. (And the river is fantastic to run along).
