Small nit-pick but especially if your argument is about the unreliability of US tech in light of the US' (and its tech sector's) turn towards fascism publishing on motherfucking Substack, a service actively platforming and supporting literal Nazis, defeats the point.

I don't get the "I failed to fact-check what the LLM generated when I was doing research/collating information for my article I am writing as a professional journalist" excuse.
First and most obviously, how about not using LLMs for this—because it is well established that they don't actually work for research, summarizing or collating data (that needs to be accurate).
But also: you need to fact-check anything and anyone as a journalist. It's not an optional thing to do, it's literally _what you do as a journalist_. You journal facts. It's like a cook forgetting to boil the pasta and serving it uncooked.

Serwer. Again. 👏👏👏
❝Legal immunity plus anonymity equals impunity. It would be logical to think that [always being masked], agents could literally get away with murder.
…
People who are assured that they won’t face consequences for abusing power almost inevitably do so. One wonders if this is actually the government’s purpose in masking them.…The masks may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to to make it easier for them to do unspeakable things.❞

Trump zei bijna letterlijk, "we trekken Venezuela helemaal leeg" (olie, infra etcetera) ... Het imperialisme en een soort Monroe doctrine worden niet meer verhuld. Des te belangrijker dat de EU duidelijk moet maken dat Groenland geen acceptabel volgend doel is..

Literally every US Citizen should be ashamed of their country tonight. YOU let this happen.

Just so you know: a fascist is now running this country, openly pushing for Maduro to resign so his so-called “regime change” can install a literal fascist instead.

The V-formation maps cleanly to how we think about leadership: someone sets direction, others align behind. But the murmuration model — distributed, adaptive, leaderless — might be closer to how real teams work. https://www.poppastring.com/blog/leadership-from-birds

Een energiecrisis zoals in 2022 blijft waarschijnlijk uit, om deze vier redenen | de Volkskrant

Als ik kijk naar de energietransitie blijf ik toch vinden dat China overall het best heel slim heeft aangepakt.
Door eerst snel in schonere kolencentrales te investeren kregen ze letterlijk meer energie om de energietransitie te versnellen. En nu vormen de overgebleven (moderne) kolencentrales een backup.
Wel vervuilend, maar veel minder nodig.
En kolen zijn lang houdbaar.
