Let's not forget that while our political class diddles around with dumb assed "OS age verification" laws to "protect kids", the very large group of rich men who for 30 years trafficked, raped, and murdered actual children is free.

On veut un service public de transport ferroviaire fiable et de qualité, pas un jeu de bonneteau entre des merdes lowcost 🤬

Ouigo, la filiale low cost de la SNCF, défie les « cars Macron » entre Paris et Bordeaux

Plus connu pour son offre TGV, Ouigo vient d’ouvrir une nouvelle ligne en train classique entre les gares de Paris-Austerlitz et Bordeaux-Saint-Jean. Avec un temps de trajet « deux fois plus long » et « des prix deux fois moins chers » que la grande vitesse.

New metric shows renewables are 53% cheaper than nuclear power

A new metric for assessing total system costs puts a least-cost mix of offshore wind and solar at about €46 ($54.20)/MWh in a future climate-neutral energy system for Denmark. Researchers tell pv magazine that figure is less than half the equivalent cost of nuclear under the same conditions.

Donc l'usage des LLMs atrophie assez vite, et assez fort, les capacités humaines à continuer le travail entamé par le LLM. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-boiling-frog-human-cognition-study #LLM #critique #project_conf_llm_demonologie
AI Use Appears to Have a “Boiling Frog” Effect on Human Cognition, New Study Warns

A new study claims to offer the first causal link between AI dependency and cognitive erosion. Researchers warn of long-term implications.

If politicians gave a shit about children, the schools would feature:

- HVAC systems that cleaned viruses out of the air
- at least two child psychologists on staff
- age-appropriate lessons to help children identify abuse
- funding for well-paid staff in numbers sufficient for a buddy system to reduce the chances of abuse
- arts education and after-school clubs to provide third spaces for kids
- massive, safe playgrounds
- protected biking and walking infrastructure from the school to residential neighborhoods

Instead we get “parents’ rights”, funding cuts, book bans, and car-centric infrastructure that kills pedestrians and bikers.

If social media is bad for kids, THEY NEED ALTERNATIVES.

This is an important study and it is tough to recruit for because of the niche. Pls share if you can!

The AI infrastructure boom is putting immense pressure on energy and water supplies, and threatens the EU’s climate goals.

In the face of growing resistance, Big Tech has successfully lobbied the EU to keep information on individual data centres secret in little noticed Delegated Act.
