Wondering why countries have “AI” secretaries and ministers now but not ones for fixing climate change and making people not die in heatwaves
It’s easy to forget, but back in January, the US invaded Venezuela, murdered some people, kidnapped the Venezuelan president, and declared that it was now “running” the country.
Although the US has never clarified what that means, it apparently includes collecting all the revenues from the sale of Venezuelan oil. For a while, that money was being directed to an account in Qatar, of all shady places, but is now collected in an account at the US Treasury.
Some of this money has allegedly been dispersed to the Venezuelan government, but no one will publicly say how much. It doesn’t seem like anyone except Donald Trump and his Secretary of State / consiglieri, Marco Rubio, has any oversight of this money.

This needs to be said in a loop until it sticks.
"What people are not getting is that we can’t turn this back – the CO2 to a large part remains in the air for thousands of years,” said Rahmstorf. “Some people think we can wait and, when it gets too bad, then we reduce emissions and things will get better again. People don’t realise that we can’t make it get better again. We can only prevent it from getting much worse.”
- Stefan Rahmstorf, Climatologist.

Toot of the day!
New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles.
This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused

Ich hab mein neues T-Shirt zum zehnjährigen Jubiläum von Mastodon noch gar nicht gezeigt. Ich danke @Gargron für seine unermüdliche Arbeit und da war ein bisschen Unterstützung angesagt.
Definitely not an accident waiting to happen. I sit directly beneath this.
If I stop posting, you can probably guess what happened.
