@chris one interesting thing about tbe foss community is that, since a lot of work is voluntary, we tend to mostly work on things that are really useful and well optimized or cheap to have fun with it. So far, ai faces a utility crisis, so it's only natural that the foss community hasn't been playing much with it, especially given the high hardware demand.

On the other side of the world ...

Brazil has released its first major climate‑mitigation update since 2008, outlining goals through 2035.

The plan places ending all deforestation by 2030 and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 67% compared with 2005 levels.

This is significant because around 40% of Brazil’s emissions come from deforestation, largely driven by illegal land clearing for agriculture.

@chris one interesting thing about those charts is that they show that it isn't just the billionaires polluting, like the public opinion has shifted to think these days. Middle class (or the consumer class) has a significant impact as well.
