So Yoshua Bengio advises the UK government. Is the government listening? Apparently not from Reeves et al trying so hard to push AI, any AI.

“There are people who would be very happy to use these tools to attack our infrastructure, for terrorism or political reasons”

'Godfather of AI' and government adviser Yoshua Bengio explains the concerns with Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI model.

It doesn't take a forensic accountant to work out whose interests Nigel Farage really serves

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

'Industrial scale' solar farms attacked by Norfolk's Green The county council's Green leader says solar panels should be locally owned and put on roofs.

'Industrial scale' solar farms - roughly size of 1 500 football pitches - attacked by Norfolk's Green.

The company behind the project, Island Green Power, is owned by the Australian firm Macquarie Asset Management who have been major investors in UK water companies.

BBCs coverage this week hasn't been about "revealing sham immigration advisers". Yes, they exist and should be combatted, but these deliberately create the misleading idea of people seeking asylum committing widespread fraud. It's been about paving the way for this. 1/

A person performs in front of a crowd in Trafalgar Square. A yellow Khanda symbol appears in the top left corner. Overlaid yellow text reads “Celebrate Vaisakhi,” followed by “18 April | Trafalgar Square” and “12–6pm.” A large audience is visible in the background.

No plans for today? Look no further.

Head over to our annual celebration of Sikh culture and heritage at Vaisakhi on the Square.

Expect live music, free tea and vegetarian snacks, and family-friendly performances.

Everyone is welcome.

GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?

How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️

Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'

Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

Ministers rip up consultation culture Ministers working closely with the new Cabinet Secretary order a clear up of Whitehall consultation culture to speed up decision making and deliver for the British people.

This is just shocking. I have yet to see evidence that consultation is slowing up decision-making. If indeed it is, perhaps a better answer is to properly fund statutory consultees.

And the story led the radio news bulletins all day yesterday - again with no supporting evidence.

Migrants are making false domestic abuse allegations to stay in the UK, BBC investigation finds In the third part of an undercover investigation, the BBC reveals how rules aimed at protecting abuse victims are being exploited.

It’s genuinely staggering how little substance there is to today’s instalment of the BBC’s attempt to create a national crisis out of a few unproven allegations of immigration fraud 1/

🟢 The energy shock is now going global This is the part many people still underestimate. Economist Steve Hanke warned the conflict has restricted the free flow of critical goods from the Gulf — including helium and fertiliser. Energy analyst Ketan Joshi suggested fuel rationing and work-from-home rules could become enforced measures as governments urgently try to reduce reliance on complex global fossil fuel supply chains. Multiple countries showed signs of the spreading impact: Sri Lanka ordered street lights, neon signs and billboard lighting switched off to cut energy consumption by 25%.

It is very fun to get google alert hits for my own name now that reveal completely fabricated statements / quotes thanks to reliance on chatbots. Absolutely wild how the choking pollution of our information environment is being powered by literal choking pollution from fossil fuelled data centres

For Keir Starmer to talk of national resilience and ignore nature is absurd | Letters Letters: Responding to an article by the PM, Caroline Lucas says he must be clearer about climate risks, Molly Scott Cato says we must reverse Brexit and Dr Victor Ajuwon applauds Labour’s directness....

Extraordinary that nowhere in an article on resilience did PM find space to include the growing threat posed to UK security by the dramatic decline in the health of nature around the world - especially since his own intelligence chiefs have recently spelt it out for him in no uncertain terms 👇

This is why Russia is still fighting, why the war continues and why people are dying: Because Trump and Vance encouraged Putin to believe he could win

BBC News leading all its bulletins on demands by former Government advisor Lord Robertson for more defence spending, without at any point mentioning his current paid senior role for US defence lobbyists

Agree. Wonder who decided that was a good idea.

👏👏👏

When even one of the architects of the Soil Association’s salmon standards says he’s ashamed of them, the game’s up. I’ve co-signed a letter urging the Soil Association to sever its ties with the salmon industry.

The real problem with data centers: they inherently create a serious pollution problem. There is no "closed-loop system" cooling those centers. They consume large amounts of water and produce toxic byproducts. Studies are compromised to hide these problems. REJECT! /P.1

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?
