PS If you reply with "but the plagiarism machines will solve the climate crisis for us" you automatically fail the test
Ok guys should we use the world's remaining carbon budget to A) power the transition to 100% renewables B) power the plagiarism machines that only a tiny managerial minority wants and aren't profitable even though everyone is being forced to use them?
Huge congratulations to Jonas Kurlberg and Alex Chow on editing this massively important book. I was so honoured to be involved and to write the foreword. Looking forward to the launch in Zurich in June
Selling Gaza to Kushner to develop into Dubai on the Med for billionaires to enjoy is absolute evil. It is Palestinian land.
Trump has no idea of international law, does he? It’s like we’re living in the era of empires! Nations stealing land from the poor, the other. No way.

Wow, DeepSeek will give us unreliable and biased answers even faster and with less energy consumption!
Grocery prices will rise due to Republican policies. “75% of immigrant farm workers didn’t show up yesterday in Bakersfield because of fears of ICE raids under the new presidency.”
And finally DeepSeek doesn’t know that the Nov US Election has happened yet!!!
Deep seek promises it’s not spyware…almost…but note it works in China under the same rules as ByteDance. Therefore it prob is a form of spyware. Follow its guidance and don’t give it your data.
DeepSeek is rather good. It can stimulate its reasoning. It knows that it doesn’t understand its own answers. I still fear it sends data to the Chinese government.
As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/
Early morning Radio interview on Premier Christian Radio exploring the shift to community notes from fact checking. Focused on love and care for those without voices. Our voices moderated by fruit of the Spirit not belligerence.
The Sun and NGN have now admitted to doing abhorrent and illegal action. They were out of control and ruined lives. This is not acceptable...how can these people be allowed to get away with it? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Worth revisiting: Bishop Budde on Trump‘s misuse of religion, 2020 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/04/opinion/trump-st-johns-church-protests.html
Amazing sermon from the Bishop of Washington - but rather unhinged response from Trump’s supporters. She followed Jesus’ call for compassion and care for all people. In what way is that not God’s word?
I guess the French call the English Channel “La Manche” so different countries can call the Northern Caribbean what their country wants to call it.
Hey everyone say hello to @thehannahfh.bsky.social - she’s amazing. Great digital practitioner and theologian.
