If humanity suddenly vanished and all that would be left of our existence is all the videos ever filmed. How much of that would be porn? What would other civilizations think of us? Fucking perverts, aren't we?

In a study published on Monday by the peer-reviewed journal Patterns, data scientist Alex de Vries-Gao estimated the carbon emissions from electricity used by AI at between 33 million and 80 million metric tons.

That higher figure would put it above last year's totals for Chile (78m tons), Czechia (78m tons), Romania (71m tons), and New York City (48m tons, including both CO2 and other greenhouse gases).

On average, AI-generated pull requests (PRs) include about 10.83 issues each, compared with 6.45 issues in human-generated PRs. That's about 1.7x more when AI is involved, meaning longer code reviews and increased risk of defects.

Problems caused by AI-generated PRs also tend to be more severe than human-made messes. AI-authored PRs contain 1.4x more critical issues and 1.7x more major issues on average than human-written PRs, the report says.

Highly sensitive documents leaked to ITV News by another whistleblower show some of these concerns were investigated within the Government Digital Service and they found that “the programme is indeed carrying a high level of risk”.

"We have proved it can be compromised": A testing team was able to access sensitive areas undetected. If this were happen as part of a real attack, a whistleblower says this could have widespread repercussions for everyday people.

In a statement issued on Wednesday after its annual meeting in The Hague earlier this week, the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) vowed to uphold the integrity of the Rome Statute and said it was “gravely concerned” by threats and coercive measures targeting the court.

The meeting took place in the shadow of US sanctions already imposed against a number of ICC senior officials, including judges and the chief prosecutor, Karim Khan.

Diplomats speaking on the sidelines of the event told MEE that the Trump administration had tried to exert further pressure on the ICC in the leadup to the ASP meeting by calling on the court to drop its investigations into war crimes in Palestine and Afghanistan as a condition for lifting sanctions.

Donald Trump lashed out on Wednesday against a New York Times reporter, calling her “ugly inside and out” in his latest personal insult against female members of the media after last week calling another “piggy”.

In a Truth Social post, Trump criticized the newspaper for an article suggesting he was running low on energy in his 80th year, insisting he had “never worked so hard in my life”.

When you're an orange, demented, chronically ill fat fuck, I bet even wiping your ass might feel like the hardest work you've done in your life.

Ideas range from joint offensive cyber operations against Russia, and faster and more coordinated attribution of hybrid attacks by quickly pointing the finger at Moscow, to surprise NATO-led military exercises, according to two senior European government officials and three EU diplomats

“The Russians are constantly testing the limits — what is the response, how far can we go?” Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže noted in an interview. A more “proactive response is needed,” she told POLITICO. “And it’s not talking that sends a signal — it’s doing.”

Finally.

We are all animals living in an alien zoo, where they run social experiments for fun. Like installing the biggest idiot as the leader of the most powerful country in the world. And then they watch us like some reality TV show. It's really surreal what is happening in the world that it must be true.

“Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time,” Trump wrote on Truth Social early on Tuesday. “They ‘disappeared’ my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird!” He went on to call the image “a super bad picture that deserves to be called out.”

It was no ordinary drone either, he discovered. Assisted by artificial intelligence, this unmanned aerial vehicle can find and attack targets on its own.

Unlike other models, it didn't send or receive any signals, so could not be jammed.
