We’re basically seeing this again. OpenAI with Sam Altman is so good at raising capital (incl. now from Softbank) that it's covering up the company’s technical & commercial weaknesses. See also this excellent @AINowInstitute report from @bcmerchant. 23/ ainowinstitute.org/general/a…

Now on top of the negative externalities on people’s power, water, air, and global climate, we have another: the ceding of more & more control over critical energy & water infrastructure to Silicon Valley. I wrote about this last week in @TheAtlantic. 14/ theatlantic.com/technology/a…

Israeli authorities have impounded a fire engine donated by Scottish firefighters to aid Palestinian firefighters.
Yesterday, we went to the Israeli Assembly to deliver a letter demanding the fire engine is released.
Firefighters must be able to protect and save lives.
