Can anyone share the fourth, "final" draft of the GPAI code of practice for the EU's AI Act? If not, does it even matter? Will the AI Act get "simplified" out of existence and we just go with the Product Liability Directive applying to ALL software, including A(G)I?

To better understand how falling satellites affect the air we breathe, scientists tracked a reentering spacecraft by plane. The goal was to study the metal particles released during reentry, something most of us might not think about, but could impact our atmosphere.

Athens, Cape Town, Sydney, Amsterdam, Dallas… are all ‘Sitting ducks’: the cities most vulnerable to climate disasters - wild fires, flush floods… and many of the consequences will be long term.

None of these cities are ready…

🧠🗳️ How democracy shapes personality

A new study of 248,000 people across 75 countries found citizens in more democratic nations report higher
benevolence, lower malevolence, and greater wellbeing

Democracy may not just reflect values – it might shape them

It is still unclear if the subaltern can speak (#Spivak). But there are new deep fake right-wing boy groups mushrooming up that definitely can sing. With #Meloni and #LePen as cheer leaders.
We are going through weird times.
