Voilà à quoi ressemble un génocide en graphique. C'est l'évolution du taux de mortalité des moins de 15 ans en Palestine, et l'évolution de l'espérance de vie des Palestiniens. Ces graphiques sont en-dessous de la réalité, puis qu'ils prennent aussi en compte la Cisjordanie.

" Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. " 😩
I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

Enerparc AG, one of Europe’s biggest independent solar park operators has filed for insolvency in Germany. The company, which has around 5.5GW of installed solar capacity across more than 500 parks, secured a €1bn financing package earlier in 2026 to continue expansion. Germany is rapidly increasing its renewable capacity – however its grid cannot keep up. Sound familiar? #CostOfNetZero

British Columbia sues OpenAI and Sam Altman over Tumbler Ridge mass school shooting #ResponsibleAI British Columbia has sued OpenAI in California, saying a mass shooting at a school in the province could have been prevented if the company had warned local ⁠law enforcement that the shooter ⁠had used ChatGPT to ​plan the massacre. -- Cc @BroadenView @DeepLearn007 @Ym78200 @kalydeoo @jblefevre60 @EvanKirstel @MarshaCollier @ahier @AkwyZ @dinisguarda @BetaMoroney @IanLJones98 @sallyeaves @enilev @mvollmer1 @gvalan @HaroldSinnott @Nicochan33 @CathCervoni @RLDI_Lamy @LaurentAlaus @aure79lien @CurieuxExplorer @Fabriziobustama @chidambara09 @mallys_

In summer 2025, Y. Benigio launched LawZero (somehow an odd name), a not-for-profit organisation that aims to incorporate European standards and regulations in the field of artificial intelligence from the outset. Germany + Canada are investing in LawZero. bmds.bund.de/aktuelles/press…

A contrarian view of AI relative to human cognition.
Oxford researchers just published a paper arguing LLMs cannot invent anything. Mathematically impossible. The reason is simple and brutal. A model trained to predict the next word can never believe something the existing data says is wrong. And every real breakthrough in history started with exactly that belief. In 1903 every prediction machine on Earth would have told the Wright Brothers that human flight was one to ten million years away. Nine weeks later they flew. Not because they had better data. Because they had a theory the data hadn't caught up to yet. That is the gap between AI and human thinking. LLMs mirror the past. Humans reason into a future that doesn't exist yet. Oxford just proved mathematically that those are two different things. I use these models every day. This matches what I see. The new stuff always comes from the human at the keyboard who decides the data is wrong. LLMs don't think. You do.

The paper was not "just published", it was published on December 2nd, 2024 - 21 months and 16 days before the post. pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/st…

Google is rolling out "age verification" in Canada. It will use machine learning to surveil account activity, including search history and YouTube viewing patterns, to estimate whether a user is over or under 18. If an adult is incorrectly classified as a minor, they may be asked to verify their age with a government ID or selfie.

An important article here by @portereduardo via @guardian on #AI, its safety and regulation 👇 Allowing AI firms to collude to ‘pace the frontier’ is a dangerous proposition 👇 theguardian.com/technology/2… Tech CEOs banding together is an old ruse recycled from corporate America to get a pass from antitrust laws #Regtech #ResponsibleAI The argument that excessive competition fuels a race to the bottom in social standards is probably as old as capitalism itself; it is invoked to explain all manner of ills, from environmental degradation to child labor. But it in no way justifies allowing companies to collude as they please. Rather, it is a call for the development of government regulations aimed at preventing companies from competing using socially harmful practices. Furthermore, the idea that excessive competition encourages reckless behavior is questionable. AI labs are engaged in a frantic winner-takes-all race—one that is extremely costly to sustain. That is where the recklessness stems from. Giving AI leaders free rein to reach agreements and regulate themselves would be madness. There is no fundamental conflict between safety and competition. Masters of AI who want to make this case should be viewed with skepticism. -- Cc @BroadenView @Ym78200 @kalydeoo @jblefevre60 @EvanKirstel @MarshaCollier @AkwyZ @dinisguarda @BetaMoroney @IanLJones98 @sallyeaves @enilev @mvollmer1 @gvalan @DeepLearn007 @CHRISTINESOTO12 @DominiqueCrochu @HaroldSinnott @Nicochan33 @CathCervoni @RLDI_Lamy @LaurentAlaus @aure79lien @CurieuxExplorer @Fabriziobustama @chidambara09 @mallys_
