The AI boom comes at a cost 😮💨
Behind the AI hype is a surge in energy use, data centre expansion and growing threats to democracy. Can it still be called progress if it deepens environmental harm, surveillance, and the grip of Big Tech and autocrats on power?

⚡️ 'True friend' — Sean Penn misses Oscars to visit Ukraine, meets Zelensky in Kyiv.
"Sean, thanks to you, we know what a true friend of Ukraine is," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
⚡️ Zelenskyy says Putin is "imitating" peace talks to dodge U.S. pressure.

⚡️ Without a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war.
"If they thought they could subjugate (Iran) in a day or a few hours, they probably realize now just how seriously they miscalculated," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
No mention of Ukraine
Zelensky responded to Trump’s refusal to help Ukraine counter Iranian drones, saying “Rhetoric is rhetoric. The main thing is that we know what we are doing.” He also thanks the United States for enabling Ukraine to purchase weapons including HIMARS and Patriot missiles. #Ukraine
Zelensky says the United States and several Gulf countries have asked Ukraine for support, including capabilities to counter drones. He also says Russia is an ally of the Iranian regime and warns lifting sanctions on Russia would be harmful. #Ukraine
⚡️Update: 'The attack was organized by Russia' — Zelensky shares new details of Lviv terror plot.
"It was indeed a terrorist attack, cynical and cruel," Zelensky said of the deadly blasts in Lviv Feb. 22. The perpetrators were recruited on Telegram and the strike was "organized by Russia."
Does anyone actually believe this?
⚡⚡️Moscow shuts down all 4 airports during Ukrainian drone attack, Russian officials say.
Twenty drones were shot down over to Moscow during the afternoon of Feb. 22, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin claimed. The attack grounded flights at Moscow's Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky airports.
Ru propagandists from Orban to Jeff Sachs claim Zelensky doesn't want the war to end because funding for Ukraine would end. They can't be dumb enough to believe this. If the war ends, funding would simply shift towards reconstruction and there's likely to be more of it as investors flock to Ukraine.
Last night wasn't calm in Ukraine again as russians fired hundreds of drones and tens of missiles against Kyiv, Odesa, Poltava & Kirovohrad regions.
Also, they damaged the premises of the American food company Mondelez. That's all you need to know abt "peace through business."
