A warning sign about AI’s real cost, courtesy of Google and Amazon
TechCrunch highlights concerns about the environmental impact of artificial intelligence (AI), using recent sustainability reports from Google and Amazon as evidence. Both companies have seen significant increases in carbon emissions—25% for Google and 16% for Amazon—since last year, largely attributed to the growing energy demands of AI technologies. While neither explicitly blames AI for these rises, the reports indicate that increased energy consumption linked to AI development and deployment is a major factor. Much of the emissions increase stems from 'Scope 3' emissions, which encompass indirect sources such as purchased goods and services, including data centers and GPUs. Both firms emphasize their efforts toward renewable energy and net-zero goals, but the challenge remains substantial.
Rojen v ZDA: Varovanje pravice do rojstnega državljanstva
Članek razpravlja o pravnem konceptu državljanstva po rojstvu v Združenih državah, kot je opisano v 14. amandmaju ustave. V članku je navedeno, da je vsakdo, ki se rodi v ZDA, razen otrok diplomatov ali vdanih sil, samodejno državljan. Profesorka Amanda Frost pojasnjuje, da besedilo amandmaja pušča malo prostora za razlago. Vendar pa javno mnenje ostaja razdeljeno, saj približno polovica Američanov podpira podelitev državljanstva otrokom nedokumentiranih priseljencev, druga polovica pa temu nasprotuje.
Izrael in Libanon podpišeta okvirni sporazum
Izrael in Libanon sta v petek podpisali okvirni sporazum v Washingtonu, ki ga je posredovala Trumpova administracija, kar je diplomatski preboj. Cilj sporazuma je končati izraelsko okupacijo južnega Libanona in obnoviti ozemeljsko celovitost Libanona, čeprav je izvajanje še vedno negotovo zaradi nadaljnjega vpliva Hezbolaha.
Journalist Karen Hao on Sam Altman, OpenAI & the "Quasi-Religious" Push for Artificial Intelligence
The article features a discussion with journalist Karen Hao, author of 'Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI,' focusing on the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on employment and society. Hao argues that AI development, particularly by companies like OpenAI, often prioritizes labor automation over assistive technology, leading to job displacement. She highlights OpenAI's vision of artificial general intelligence (AGI) as systems that outperform humans in economically valuable tasks, which she views as a deliberate strategy to reduce workforce costs. Hao contrasts this with potential benefits of AI as a supportive tool, citing examples such as improved healthcare diagnostics and education outcomes when AI complements human professionals rather than replaces them. She warns against the risks of unregulated AI deployment, including the spread of medical misinformation and psychological harm.
Lead Iran negotiator tells allies Tehran will go to war again if U.S. does not fulfill commitments
Iran's parliament speaker and chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned allies China and Belarus that Iran would consider resuming hostilities if the U.S. fails to uphold commitments outlined in a recent memorandum of understanding. This statement came during meetings in Tehran with delegations from China and Belarus, who were present for the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Ghalibaf emphasized Iran's expectation of non-interference by the U.S. in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime route previously disrupted by conflict. He also discussed strengthening economic ties with China, highlighting its role as a major buyer of Iranian oil and a potential strategic ally. Recent tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated after an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to reciprocal military actions before both sides agreed to de-escalate and hold indirect talks in Doha.
"What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?": James Earl Jones Reads Frederick Douglass's Historic Speech
This article features a reading of Frederick Douglass's 1852 speech 'What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?' delivered by James Earl Jones. The speech critiques the hypocrisy of celebrating American independence while slavery persists. Douglass questions why he, as an enslaved person, is invited to celebrate a holiday that symbolizes freedom for others but represents oppression for him. The piece highlights the historical context of Douglass's role in the abolitionist movement and his critique of the nation's founding ideals. It is presented as part of a broader educational effort to examine America's history through the lens of marginalized voices.
"Amerika, ZDA": Eddie Glaude na 250. obletnici, rasa in "norost v srcu države"
Democracy Now! intervjuva Eddieja Glaudeja, profesorja afroameriških študij na Princetonu, glede njegove nove knjige 'Amerika, ZDA: Kako rasa senca narodne obletnice', izdane pred 250. obletnico Deklaracije o neodvisnosti. Knjiga kritično preučuje, kako so Združene države zgodovinsko praznovale mejnike obletnic, poudarjajoč opustitve v uradnih pripovedih. Glaude razpravlja o tem, kako se je predsednik Donald Trump osredotočil na te praznovanja in promoviral idealizirano različico ameriške zgodovine, ki spregleda sistemsko krivico, zakoreninjeno v ustanovitvi države. Glaude trdi, da zgodovina služi kot bojno polje, kjer so pretekla dejanja odgovorna, zlasti glede rasnih vprašanj.
Trump je trdil, da vodi Venezuelo.
Po ugrabitvi venezuelanskega predsednika Nicolasa Madura je ameriški predsednik Donald Trump sprva trdil, da bodo ZDA "upravljale" Venezuelo in razglasile, da so "mi odgovorni". Vendar pa se je po dveh velikih potresih, ki so prizadele Venezuelo in povzročile znatne žrtve in uničenje, Trump preusmeril na zagotavljanje omejene humanitarne pomoči, namesto da bi uveljavil neposreden nadzor. Ameriški vladni uradnik je predlagal, da Trumpov odgovor ne odraža obsega ameriškega vpliva na Venezuelo, ki jo opisujejo kot "vazalno državo". Medtem venezuelanske ameriške organizacije in napredne skupine za zunanjo politiko načrtujejo, da od Trumpove administracije zahtevajo znatno, brezpogojno humanitarno pomoč, pri čemer navajajo ameriško odgovornost za krizo, ki so jo povzročile sankcije in vojaška dejanja. Te skupine trdijo, da mora ameriška pomoč ustrezati obsegu škode, ki jo je povzročil. Trump je prej trdil, da so ZDA znatno izkoristile od venezuelskih naftnih virov, vendar so kritičniki poudarjali, da so ameriške politike povečale stroške vojne v Venezueli.
ZDA in Iran se strinjata, da bosta prenehala z napadom in se vrnila k pogajanjem.
Po poročanju ameriških medijev naj bi naslednji krog pogajanj potekal v ponedeljek v Katarju, poroča Reuters. Najnovejša eskalacija se je začela po tem, ko je iranski raketa v petek zadela trgovsko ladjo v Hormuškem prelivu. Po incidentu sta se Washington in Teheran medsebojno obtožila kršitve začasnega premirja, dogovorjenega 17. junija.

I Am A Woman Who Had To Compete Against A Man And It’s Anything But Fair Play
The article discusses the impact of Title IX on women's sports and raises concerns about the fairness of allowing biological males to compete in women's athletic categories. The author, a former Division I track and field athlete, describes her dedication to training and competing at a high level, only to face the challenge of competing against a biological male athlete who had previously competed in the men's category. She highlights the physiological differences between males and females, noting that males can run approximately 11% faster and accelerate 20% faster than females. These differences, she argues, were acknowledged when Title IX established separate athletic categories. The article emphasizes the importance of maintaining these distinctions to preserve opportunities for female athletes, such as scholarships, championships, and record-breaking achievements. It also references upcoming Supreme Court cases, Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., which could determine the future of women's sports. The author criticizes the argument that allowing biological males into women's competitions is an act of inclusion, arguing that it undermines the fairness and protections,
"Ameriška revolucija ni bila anti-kolonialno gibanje": zgodovinar UCLA Robin D. G. Kelley
Robin D. G. Kelley, zgodovinar UCLA, razpravlja o zgodovinski interpretaciji Deklaracije o neodvisnosti skozi lečo črnih radikalcev, zlasti se sklicuje na govor Fredericka Douglassa iz leta 1852, ki je kritiziral hinavščino praznovanja neodvisnosti, medtem ko je suženjstvo vztrajalo. Razprava poudarja protislovje med ideali enakosti, izraženimi v Deklaraciji, in resničnostjo sistemskega rasizma v Združenih državah. Kelley poudarja pomen razumevanja teh zgodovinskih pogledov, da bi dojeli pravi pomen svobode in pravice, zlasti za marginalizirane skupnosti.
