Νομίζω ο διάλογος με την τεχνητή νοημοσύνη έχει παρόμοια χαρακτηριστικά με τους αυτοματισμούς όταν, πριν από πολλές δεκαετίες, μπήκαν στα εργοστάσια. Τότε λέγανε στον κόσμο ότι χάρη στους αυτοματισμούς “τα παιδιά σου θα δουλεύουν λιγότερο και θα ζουν καλύτερα”. Η πράξη έδειξε ότι τίποτα απ’ αυτά δεν βελτιώθηκε, απλά οι πλούσιοι γίναν πλουσιότεροι.

If I understand you correctly, for you research is something that only scientist do, but it’s not the case. Research takes place in uncountable fields.

From wiki:

Research is creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge.

The problem is

The problem is capitalism with its embedded goal of growing profit. It took capitalists some time and a lot of propaganda to convince people to shift to single-use plastics instead of reusable containers (i.e. glass bottles for milk). It is not profitable for this economic wasteful system of production to change back, and it doesn’t need to, because this system is backed by governments all over the world. So, the solution can only come from a systemic change.

Απ’όσο έχω καταλάβει δεν ξέρουν ακόμα το γιατί. Αυτό είναι απ’ τα πιο πρόσφατα σχετικά άρθρα (μεσημέρι Τρίτης), είναι στ’ αγγλικά όμως.

Power Cut: Why did Spain and Portugal Lose Electricity? | Energy Digital

There is still no clear answer to why the countries lost power and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez warned people to be careful of misinformation.

I think you are right. I just edited the title. Thanks for the input!

She is banned but there is an appeal in place. The court’s decision on this appeal will be issued in 2026, so before the next french elections.

To my understanding, yes. They are talking specifically about rattlesnakes and their venom, and a possible paradigm shift in general.

As it says in the article:

Rather than developing more complex toxins for a wide variety of potential prey, as the researchers assumed, the rattlesnakes were instead producing simpler venoms containing fewer and more focused venoms.

We expected that snakes in areas with more biodiversity would have more complex venoms because they’re eating more of that available diversity.

We initially hypothesized that the larger islands would be associated with more complex venoms, however we found the opposite pattern.

Edit: Several stuff to make things clearer

For more on this, I suppose we have to wait for part 3 of this three-part series articles

Yes, you are right. In Oct 2023 they said they won’t do military business with Israel. But in 2025:

However, on April 17 as Spaniards geared up for the Easter holiday weekend, the government filed paperwork confirming the deal on the government tenders website. The purchase, worth 6.6 million euros ($7.53 million), includes the acquisition of more than 15 million 9-mm rounds from Israel’s IMI Systems, owned by Elbit Systems (ESLT.TA), opens new tab and represented in Spain by Guardian LTD Israel.

It’s only only after pressure threats that the government decided to do as they had pledged in 2023:

The decision drew a sharp rebuke on Wednesday from coalition partner Sumar, with one of the groups within Sumar, Izquierda Unida, threatening to withdraw from the minority coalition government.

This is not exactly what you asked for, but it’s the closest thing I can think of. The Forensic Architecture site has some accurate info for Gaza, Palestine but they date back to 2024. Still, I think it’s worth keeping an eye out for any new investigation they might do.

Not too sure how effective this is tho, as a solution.

It seems to me like a diplomatic escalation in the sense that banning the Russian ambassador from attending this commemoration event gives Putin something to instrumentalise anyways, at least for internal consumption. In the same time this move does not apply any kind of actual pressure on Russia. So I honestly don’t know what good can come out of this move.

Well, the extreme weather events are already taking place. The point for me is that we should stop them before they do more damage. And they should pay to mitigate the damage they already caused.

What you said reminded me of an argument that I recently heard and found quite interesting, as well as accurate.

It was saying that the developing countries are actually the colonising ones because they got prosperous from ferociously extracting the resources from the places they colonised. In the so-called “post colonial era”, theses western countries kept their development through economic exploitation of the same areas and people.

Edit: So the developed countries, should actually be called developing instead. And what we call now developing countries should be called exploited, abused or something similar.

Με αφορμή αυτό το σημείο του άρθρου, είπα να προσθέσω κι αυτό το λινκ με τους στατιστικούς πίνακες του χρέους από wiki.

Ανάλογα. Πιστεύω μερικές εταιρίες κάνουν ακριβώς αυτό που λες. Κάποιες άλλες έχουν συγκεκριμένη θέση. Πχ Palantir: The New Deep State.

Κ μένα κάπως έτσι μου φαίνονται τα πράγματα. Απλά πιστεύω τελικά, με άξονα το κέρδος όπως είπες, κάποιον υποστηρίζουν.

I believe your comment was clearly about the outlet. I just took the opportunity to say where I stand on this topic, as well.

I think I just understood our main point of difference. Maybe.

For me, the problems in the middle-east / West Asia for example, have been created due to colonialism. More specifically, because eurpean colonisers carved up the area when the Ottoman Empire started to crumble. In a way, I look further back in time to find the root cause, which is not that long ago, if you think about it. Btw, I also consider the US power-house as a problem that derived from european colonialism. Similarly, Australia and Canada even if they don’t seem to have the US power ambitions on global geopolitics.

This is why I also see migration as such a difficult issue, but as you might have noticed I didn’t talk about solutions. The prosperity of western societies was created and is maintained due to the exhaustive exploitation of other parts of the world. I believe before the west addresses that, there can be no solutions, and and-aid legislation (best case scenario that is) cannot help the healing of such deep wounds.

That is because you are describing the EU as an union of colonizers,

Not at all. Yes they started with their neighbors. You mentioned a couple of examples, another would be Ireland and the UK. Still, some common things tho between european colonisers was their sense of superiority and their brutal practices towards indigenous peoples and their environment.

On the one hand, the current refugees are not coming to Europe from old European colonies, but from Russian ones.

This is not my understanding, for 2 main reasons

• Practically such a huge amount of the world has been colonised by europeans. Btw check out the maps in the wiki page of the colonial empire.
• About the Russia thing, I don’t think so. I found these stats that present a different picture about the countries of origin. See our world in data (sort by Refugee by country of origin). If you have some info that changes significantly this picture, please share.

Edit: I moved around some sentences to make it more coherent. Hopefully.
