Good on @MistralAI for publishing life-cycle LLM enviro costs. Mistral Large 2 model training generated 20,400 tonnes of CO2 equivalent & consumed 281,000 cubic metres of H2O in 18 mths. That's 4500 cars running for a year & 112 Olympic swimming pools.

Is it just me or has Jack Dorsey started looking like a merging of Mel Gibson, Brad Pitt and Billy Connolly?.
Jack Dorsey says AI must be permissionless because constraint kills innovation. Five CEOs shouldn't dictate what brings humanity forward. Open source is the answer. To protect ourselves, we have to race ahead. Eliminating single points of failure before they become

I’m an unhesitating supporter of the alliance. But if your best mate offered to sell you his fancy car at market price—no mate’s rates—but included the condition that you use it to drive him home every time he wanted to go out on the lash … you’d have to pause and think.
Does the Pentagon really think Australia should promise to send its subs to a possible conflict with China. The UK’s peak AUKUS adviser says the UK has never done that.

US & other nations please please move now — civilisation depends on it.
Today, I instructed Ukraine’s Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief to intensify all contacts with the American side. We now have the necessary political statements and decisions, and we must implement them as quickly as possible to protect our people and our positions.

Brave people.

Well now. This is truly fascinating diplomatic strategy by Iran’s foreign minister. Oped in the @FT appeals to Trump by talking up the nuclear negs & rubbishing Biden, & appeals to MAGA crowd by arguing US has been sucked into Israel’s war. It’s really something.
Having initiated war against Iran, Netanyahu quickly had to beg President Trump to bail him out. The US showed it can end war. But can it win peace? . My op ed in @ft on why diplomacy can prevail:. With this link:.
