The public also needs to temper expectations and realize that AI chatbots are still massively flawed and cannot be relied upon. An attorney recently discovered this the hard way, when he had ChatGPT do his legal research. None of the case law ChatGPT cited was real
In 2022, Facebook pulled its science-focused chatbot Galactica after a mere three days, as it generated wholly fabricated results

Very nice report on the fire at North Hyde substation which took down Heathrow in March.

tl;dr:

* Fire was caused by moisture ingress in a high voltage bushing which was detected in 2018 but got lost in the system.
* North Hyde is an ageing substation which didn't have adequate protection against spread of fire
* Heathrow didn't think that a loss of grid feed was a plausible risk, so they assumed 10-12 hours was a reasonable recovery time from that.

Israeli occupation forces escalated on Tuesday their aggression in the occupied West Bank and al-Quds through extensive demolition operations that targeted Palestinian-owned homes, commercial shops, and educational institutions, amid repeated settler attacks on agricultural land.

In the town of al-Auja, north of Areeha, Israeli forces demolished a Palestinian-owned commercial store, followed by the demolition of a house.

Illegal Israeli settlers have established a new outpost northwest of Jericho in the eastern West Bank, the fifth in the same area, according to a Palestinian rights group.

Illegal settlers erected tents, brought in excavation and leveling equipment, and began fencing off the site in the Muarrajat area in recent days, the Al-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights said in a statement.

I'm no expert, but some UK-oriented suggestions for things to do in response to ongoing genocide and famine in Palestine:

- Change your bank account, there's a UK list of complicit and non-complicit banks here: ethicalconsumer.org/money-fina… - e.g. it seems Barclays, HSBC, JP Morgan, Lloyds, NatWest, and Santander are using your money to finance the military and settlements
- E-mail your MP map.org.uk/campaigns/stop-uks-…
- Donate, I'm not sure what's best but maybe to a mutual aid organisation like the Sameer project chuffed.org/project/113222-ten… or Dahnoun chuffed.org/project/115245-dah…
- Boycott e.g. Google, Amazon, Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, Teva, Chevron, Intel, Dell, Siemens, HP, Microsoft, Carrefour, AXA, Reebok, Disney+, Sodastream, Re/max bdsmovement.net/Guide-to-BDS-B…

After long presenting heatwaves as fun episodes, with pictures of young people in fountains and swimming pools, European media are now realizing it's not funny anymore.
French TV talked about the worst day instead of the warmest day, and Le Parisien had "Torture" as headline. nos.nl/l/2573263
in reply to Kees van der Leun

You've raised an important point. It's fast and cheap for a news outlet to send a photographer out for a picture of people cooling off by swimming. But the real story of a Climate Crisis caused heat wave is people dying, not swimming. It would be improper if not illegal to show images of seniors who died in their homes of heat stroke.
So, very seriously, what would be the proper image? An ambulance pulling into the emergency area?

German chancellor Merz casually dismisses Germany's (already insufficient) #climate targets. In an hour-long talkshow interview, he was asked to complete some sentences:

Host: "That the current heat wave is a sign of climate change ..."
Merz: "... is partially true, but surely not exclusively."

Host: "That [economics minister] Katharina Reiche questions the 2045 climate target ...'
Merz: "... has something to do with a realistic view of what we can actually achieve."

@Wolfgang Lucht Yea Germans are freezing to death in the winter already, let's do even more of the same. Good plan, MORONS. A by-the-way, each year approximately 5 million people die from cold, that's about 8.5% of all deaths, and 500,000 from heat, about .5% of all deaths, so seems even from human health standard, some global heating would be beneficial.

There's a common sleight of hand in the political class' views of the NHS;

They (willingly) confuse growing levels of dissatisfaction with the NHS as growing support for privatised health care, but while people are now sometimes more willing to go private this is a strategy of desperation not a willing political conversion.

What voters actually want is for the NHS to work properly, fairly & efficiently.... and that can only be achieved with a renewed commitment to full funding!

"The Digital Democracy Deception"
by Courtenay Turner
Part 1 July 2nd
===============================

In an era where digital technologies increasingly shape democratic participation, a constellation of initiatives promises to revolutionize governance through artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. At the center of this movement sits the AI World Society (AIWS), a Boston Global Forum initiative that advocates for “digital democracy” and “ethical AI governance. ”Beneath the progressive rhetoric of empowerment and transparency lies a more troubling reality: the concentration of power among tech elites and the potential erosion of genuine citizen agency.

This analysis examines the growing influence of AIWS and related digital democracy projects, revealing how buzzwords like “democratization”, “decentralization” and “empowerment” may mask concerning limitations that threaten personal sovereignty and cognitive liberty.
TLDR:
=====

The Bottom Line: What's marketed as "digital democracy" is actually a sophisticated power grab by tech elites, transforming genuine civic participation into managed participation theater while threatening cognitive liberty itself.

The Elite Capture Machine
-------------------------

The AI World Society (AIWS), led by former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis and Vietnamese entrepreneur Nguyen Anh Tuan, exemplifies how "digital democracy" initiatives concentrate power among academic and political elites. Their latest venture—blockchain-certified "Esteemed Digital Assets"—literally tokenizes political legacies, creating artificial scarcity around historical narratives while an elite board of MIT and Harvard affiliates controls the curation.

Even more concerning is their "Music for Humanity" initiative, which uses "AI-amplified music" for what can only be described as emotional engineering—bearing striking similarities to the HeartMath Global Coherence Initiative's attempts at technologically-mediated consciousness manipulation.

Taiwan's "Success Story" Exposed
--------------------------------

Taiwan's vTaiwan platform, celebrated globally as a digital democracy triumph, reveals the fundamental flaws in these systems when examined closely. The brutal reality: only 0.04% of Taiwan's population actually engaged with the platform, and legislators admitted they don't take it seriously because the government isn't required to adopt recommendations.

This isn't democratization—it's participation theater that serves educated, urban elites while excluding rural, elderly, and less tech-savvy citizens. The platform "hasn't been used for any major decisions since 2018," proving that ultimate power remains concentrated in traditional institutions.

Blockchain Voting: The Constitutional Trojan Horse
--------------------------------------------------

MIT cybersecurity experts have issued devastating warnings against blockchain voting, demonstrating these systems create "undetectable, nation-scale election failures". Real-world pilots validate these concerns: West Virginia's blockchain voting was hacked within 72 hours, while Nevada's system allowed undetectable vote alterations.

Yet "Third Way" movements like Andrew Yang's Forward Party continue promoting blockchain voting as democratic innovation. This represents a deceptive advance toward technocratic governance that would replace constitutional accountability with unaccountable algorithms.

The Cognitive Liberty Threat
----------------------------

The convergence of AI, neuroscience, and ubiquitous computing creates unprecedented opportunities for surveillance and mental manipulation. AIWS's combination of AI-generated content, blockchain-certified narratives, and "AI-amplified music" represents a sophisticated approach to shaping public consciousness.

Chile recognized this threat by becoming the first country to enshrine neurorights in its constitution in 2021, prohibiting non-consensual neural data extraction and the buying/selling of brain data. Colorado followed with America's first neural data protection law in 2024.

The Academic Warning
--------------------

Research consistently reveals that "the field of e-democracy has generally failed to live up to its own reformist rhetoric". A UC Berkeley study found that college graduates are 1.5 times more likely to blog, twice as likely to post content, and three times more likely to comment online compared to high school graduates. Less than 10% of the U.S. population participates in online content creation, making digital platforms "more of a playground for the affluent than a digital democracy."

The Pattern Revealed
--------------------

The evolution from 2012's grassroots g0v movement to 2025's AIWS ecosystem reveals a clear trajectory: genuine civic tech innovations have been captured and transformed into elite-controlled systems that maintain the rhetoric of empowerment while concentrating decision-making power.

The Choice Before Us
--------------------

These aren't innovations—they're digital feudalism disguised as democracy. The infrastructure being built would permanently replace "We the People" with "We the Algorithms," creating what critics call a "velvet-gloved architecture of control" where every click, vote, and potentially even brainwave feeds systems designed to shape behavior in ways both unseen and unaccountable.

The time for vigilance is now. Citizens must reject blockchain voting, expose elite networks funding these initiatives, and demand genuine cognitive liberty protections before this digital cage masquerading as liberation becomes inescapable.

The future of human agency hangs in the balance—and the tech elites are betting you won't notice until it's too late.
