Dear „fundamental Christians“, for you the proof that the climate catastrophe is men made is easy:
• God said to Noah: “I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” (Gen 9, 13)
• You are fighting rainbows, calling them and those who praise it evil.
• So you cut the contract that was sealed between us.
• Therefore there will be flood – and worse. One does not cut the gay ribbon between yourself and God.
• It i…

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei saying the quiet part out loud in a CNN interview about impending job losses due to AI:
"There's an inherent social contract in democracy where ultimately the ordinary person has a certain amount of leverage because they're contributing to the economy.
"If that leverage goes away, then it's harder to make democracies work, and it's harder to prevent concentration of power."

“CVE naming and assignment to software packages and versions are the foundation upon which the software vulnerability ecosystem is based. Without it, we can’t track newly discovered vulnerabilities. We can’t score their severity or predict their exploitation. And we certainly wouldn’t be able to make the best decisions regarding patching them.”

«Scientific conferences are leaving the US amid border fears»
And this is just the beginning: Most big scientific conferences are not only already committed to 2025 venues but also 2026, given the long contract deadlines for such events. Academic societies are very reluctant to cancel existing contracts given how expensive doing so is.
Imho, 2027 will be the conference year to watch (if anything resembling a US academy is left by then).

“What we ultimately want, and what we believe we need, is a commons that is strong, resilient, growing, useful (to machines and to humans)—all the good things, frankly. But as our open infrastructures mature they become increasingly taken for granted, and the feeling that “this is for all of us” is replaced with “everyone is entitled to this”. While this sounds the same, it really isn’t. Because with entitlement comes misuse, the social contract breaks, reciprocation evaporates, and ultimately the magic weakens.”
