Indonesia’s Supreme Court has upheld the government’s decision to block further expansion of the Tanah Merah oil palm project in Papua, preserving a Jakarta-sized swath of primary rainforest.

The ruling strengthens the forestry ministry’s authority to halt deforestation and was influenced by testimonies from the Indigenous Awyu tribe, who rely on the forest for survival.

"Quienes promueven la idea de que podemos alcanzar una inteligencia artificial general a partir de estos modelos saben que es una distracción. Esa es la distracción perfecta para no tener que preocuparnos de las verdaderas consecuencias negativas de estos productos" 🎯

“¿Queremos quemar el planeta para producir ilustraciones baratas con IA?” Elena de Sus 15/02/2025

Usted considera que estos grandes modelos de lenguaje no valen la pena, ¿verdad? Incluso si son útiles para algunas cosas.

Sí, personalmente pienso que la IA generativa que está siendo impulsada por OpenAI y el resto de compañías que compiten con ellos no es muy útil. 

"Antes de que existiera la IA generativa, la gente no deseaba tenerla. Ha sido un empuje tecnológico, no un tirón del mercado"

No hay ninguna posibilidad de que un generador de patrones estadísticos se vuelva inteligente. No hay nada en esos modelos que de verdad imite a la inteligencia.

A big reason we are in this catastrophe is because governments are more focused on criminalizing the people who are protesting the climate crisis, instead of the fossil fuel executives who are responsible for it.

'The first Word was spoken by a woman. It was ‘No’. Acted out in sounds and gestures and exploding into a chorus of laughter, it was a signal to the male sex that their behaviour needed to stop.

Chris Knight and Camilla Power explain how menstrual bleeding was constructed as the world’s earliest taboo and how blood-red ochre came to symbolize ritual potency as our species emerged.

How ritual, sex and economics were organized around the lunar cycle. Dark moon was time associated to menstruation and ritual of refusal of marital sex. Big-game hunting was prepared as waxing moon increased light at night, with the hunt completed by full moon. Then taboos were lifted for flesh to be enjoyed: cooking and marital sex.
