Super-KI als Gefahr für die Menschheit? Was wir aus dem OpenAI-Schlamassel lernen
Der US-Autor Tomas Pueyo schwurbelt über KI-Superintelligenz und den drohenden Weltuntergang. Doch die realen Gefahren liegen viel näher.

Good idea: build climate resilience:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-67469222
A decade and a half ago there used to be a regular rhythm to the Ladakhi land, which provided villagers with a steady water supply. Winter snow melted to feed streams, just as meltwater from the glaciers trickled down and provided water for farming and agriculture in springtime.
Spring and summer is traditionally a time of plenty in Ladakh
However, climate change has seen average winter temperatures in Ladakh rise by about 1C over the last 40 years.
Snowfall has become increasingly unpredictable and glaciers have retreated farther up towards the peaks, or disappeared altogether.
I first visited Ladakh in 2018. I returned in 2019, and again in spring this year - kept away in the interim by the coronavirus pandemic. The difference was startling.
The snow now melts faster, leaving villagers with little to no water by spring. Glaciers are now so high up in the mountains that they melt later in the year. Ladakhi springtime - once lush and fertile - was dry and silent this year.
A lack of water has led to a decrease in meadows - keeping large flocks of pashmina goats is becoming unviable. The Changpa herders are giving up their traditional livelihoods and migrating to other parts of India or to Leh looking for non-pastoral work.
Farmers, unable to find water for their barley and apricots, are leaving in droves.
Many Ladahki people have relied on apricot farming for decades
Despite the destruction caused by climate change, there is hope for this isolated region.
On my second visit to Ladakh in March 2019, I met engineer Sonam Wangchuk. He told me that on a drive through the valleys in 2013 he noticed a large mound of unmelted ice under a bridge, sheltered from the sun. The sight of that small tower of ice triggered an idea.
"High school maths tells us that a cone is the simple answer," he grinned at me.

Back to the Future: The Return of the Ultraliberal Right in Argentina
https://crimethinc.com/Argentina2023
Last week, the extreme right won electoral victories in the Netherlands and Argentina. The global reactionary wave that brought Donald Trump to power did not subside with his electoral loss in 2020.
In this reflection, an Argentine anarchist explores why Javier Milei won the election and situates Milei's politics in historical context. Although Milei's "anarcho-capitalist" rhetoric may seem new, this is just the latest chapter of a story that is very old in Argentina: the combination of cutthroat capitalism with ruthless state violence.

Here is what you need to take away from this:
1. Democrats are further right than fucking Reagan on this
2. Biden himself was further right and more openly bloodthirsty than Reagan and the Israeli Prime Minister during the 1982 Lebanon war
