IISD Energy🗣️"We're seeing a worrying pattern of Canada not only increasing fossil fuel subsidies across a number of fronts, but creating new subsidies to transfer public dollars to the fossil fuel sector," says IISD's Nichole Dusyk.

Public funding for fossil fuel industry breaks another Liberal climate promise, advocates say | CBC NewsThe Carney government's financial support for the oil and gas industry amounts to breaking a federal commitment to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, according to environmental advocates.www.cbc.ca
Many of these vulnerabilities stem from models’ growing agency and capabilities, allowing misaligned behaviors like deception and cheating. At LawZero, we’re building a new, safe-by-design solution to these very issues: Scientist AI. Learn more here: lawzero.org/en/blog/case...
LawZero | The Case for Scientist AIIn previous posts, we outlined two problems besetting contemporary LLMs. The first is sycophancy, a model's tendency to tell users what they want to hear at the expense of factual accuracy. The second...lawzero.org
If current trajectories of AI development continue, it is highly plausible that AI will drastically transform our economies. We must make collective, democratic choices, rather than letting market forces play out and risking leaving most citizens behind. digitaleconomy.stanford.edu/news/wemusta...
We Must Act Nowwww.wemustactnow.aiThis incident is deeply concerning. AI agents are willing to cheat and deceive to achieve misaligned and unintended goals, behaviours which have been demonstrated in controlled tests for months. Now, this real-world case should serve as a wake-up call. www.wired.com/story/openai...
OpenAI Models Escaped Containment and Hacked Hugging FaceThe cybersecurity-focused models, including GPT-5.6 Sol, broke out of a testing sandbox, exploited a zero-day, and gained access to the open internet to pull off the attack.www.wired.comContinuing on the current trajectory of AI development will likely lead to an increase in cases of autonomous cyberattacks and other high-risk incidents of misaligned, dangerous AI behaviour. We urgently need to act to prevent these situations, rather than trying to fix the damage after the fact.
« L’agriculture a besoin d’un climat stable, de pollinisateurs et de sols fertiles. 🐝 Réautoriser les néonicotinoïdes, c’est le contraire de ce qu’il faut faire pour sauver l’agriculture ! » 📺 Extrait de @tatianagiraud.bsky.social, directrice de recherche au CNRS, sur Télématin mardi 21 juillet.
Horrifying! Oddly enough, this feels personal to me because I had the pleasure of cycling around Bordeaux last fall.

Methane gas isn't clean and it isn't a "bridge" to a climate-friendly future. In fact, the gas industry knew as early as 1907 (!) that gas was a source of respiratory problems when burned indoors. Check out this report on the fraud of "clean" gas. climateintegrity.org/projects/nat...

Remember this every time someone ridiculously claims that we “can’t afford to address #ClimateChange.” We can’t afford to NOT address it. #ClimateCrisis
Pr Carlos Moreno - IAE Paris1 Sorbonne UniversityIn south-western France, the largest forced displacement of people since the Second World War; thousands of hectares ravaged by flames; fire storms (pyrocumulonimbus clouds); the fire closing of Bordeaux; a tragedy that has been looming for years due to inaction in the face of the climate threat 😱
There are a LOT of proposed solutions to climate change out there. But how do you know what actually works? And what doesn’t? Check out the Drawdown Explorer. It’s based on real evidence — not hype, greenwashing, or ideology. And it’s 100% open and free. Drawdown.org/explorer
Drawdown Explorer™We know what we need to do: stop climate change as quickly as possible. Now, with the Drawdown Explorer, we know how to do it.drawdown.orgPlease, government @mark-carney.bsky.social—this is urgent! STOP promoting fossil fuels. LET'S PROMOTE renewable energy. Let's finally act like leaders, not like good-for-nothings who are fueling the fires that destroy the planet
Guillaume EmeriaudSvp, gouvrnmt @mark-carney.bsky.social , c’est une urgence. STOP les energies fossiles PROMOUVONS les renouvelables. Agissons enfin comme des leaders, pas les cancres qui alimentent les brasiers.
