Thanks to their greedy, exploitative colonisation of this beautiful planet, humans are ruining it for themselves and the species on which they depend faster than they think. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/wwf-earth-amazon-university-of-exeter-west-papua-b2844098.html #TippingPoint #Environment

LLM tools used in medicine found to be loaded with white male bias.

"The findings by researchers at leading US and UK universities suggest that medical AI tools powered by LLMs have a tendency to not reflect the severity of symptoms among female patients, while also displaying less “empathy” toward Black and Asian ones."

Every time someone says 'AI', ask 'whose AI?'

“Why are you still protesting if there is a ceasefire?”

Because these 2 years changed things. The world is no longer willing to go back to business as usual where Israel gets to mass kill Palestinians every few years. The goal is freedom.

That’s Israel’s key defeat.

Ex-Israeli hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin says the current ceasefire deal could have been reached a year ago — Hamas had agreed to free all hostages, but Netanyahu refused to end the war.

@Channel4News

You honestly want me to believe that “Hamas” was in every single one of those houses? Every building on every street? As far as the eye can see?

Side point on #ChatControl: When I worked on the law in the European Parliament, in the face of questionably legal, and highly problematic behavior by DG HOME, I prepared a whitepaper on why it was such a terrible Idea.

As it is in the public interest, I have decided to make that white paper public.

🚨 New preprint out🚨 now, why has Antarctica stopped (net) losing mass?
We explore how declining sea ice but mostly increasingly heavy and frequent atmospheric rivers have actually led to a small increase in the mass of #Antarctica, in spite of increased discharge from outlet glaciers.

The increase is unlikely to be sustained, and a small increase in calving or discharge over the grounding line can easily turn it upside down, but nevertheless another long-term prediction about the Antarctic appears to becoming true.

Lots of important subtleties in this one!

In review at Nature communications but I feel it's too important to wait for the review process.

Analysis: Hamas’s Strategic Gamble

Trump’s overarching message in his plan "was that Palestinians must surrender their fight for liberation & submit to subjugation."

The challenge was to craft a response to Trump "that would assert the Palestinian right to self-determination while persuading [him] to force Israel to cease its genocidal war."

This article is a deep & detailed description of the issue:
