Universities that tout the benefits of AI without advocating hard for the changes required for our planet to support AI (read: rapid shift to 100% renewable energy, strict water reclamation and reuse rules) are not helping humanity

There were over 100 of us and it was 18 degrees
Not bad for a vigil that came together organically without an organizer

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.
US trade secretary Howard Lutnick really not mincing his words here at Davos: "We are here to make a v clear point: globalisation has failed the West and the USA. It's a failed policy. It's what the WEF has stood for, which is, export, offshore, find the cheapest labour in the world."
