Alphabet, Google’s parent company, has revised its ethical guidelines regarding artificial intelligence (AI), notably removing its previous commitment to abstain from using AI for developing weapons or surveillance tools. The change comes as U.S. tech companies report lower-than-expected revenues. Demis Hassabis, head of Google AI, stated that the new guidelines reflect a shift in the landscape of AI, emphasizing its role in national security. In a blog post, Hassabis and Senior Vice President of Technology and Society, James Manica, argued that as global competition in AI intensifies, principles like democracy, equality, and respect for human rights should guide AI development.…

Hawaii’s hotel tax, already the highest in the U.S., may rise further as the state focuses on implementing green fees embedded within the temporary accommodation tax. This approach differs from earlier attempts to charge direct visitor fees, impacting both residents and visitors. Supporters of the proposal, including Governor Josh Green, argue that the added revenue is essential for environmental protection and climate change initiatives. The proposed bills, HB1077 and SB1396, aim to create a Climate Mitigation and Resilience Fund for statewide environmental projects, but critics are concerned about vague language and lack of oversight regarding the use of funds. Many…

A New Jersey court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the state attorney general, Matthew Platkin, against major oil and gas companies, alleging they are responsible for global warming. Superior Court Judge Douglas Heard sided with the defendants, citing that federal law governs emissions regulation and that state law claims cannot proceed due to constitutional limitations. The decision follows similar rulings in other states like New York and Maryland, reinforcing the argument that states lack the jurisdiction to impose such claims. The lawsuit, initiated in October 2022, accused the companies of intentionally selling harmful products and misleading the public about…

The article discusses the impact of the first Pineapple Express storm that has hit California, particularly focusing on the San Francisco Gulf and Southern California. Heavy rains have caused significant flooding, landslides, and infrastructure damage. In Sonoma County, a house collapsed into the Russian River as a result of hillside erosion, prompting evacuations due to flood risks in surrounding areas. Roads, including US 101 and California 99, have been flooded, and power outages have affected many residents. The storm is expected to weaken as it moves south, but meteorologists warn of potential floods and mudslides, particularly in the Santa Barbara…

An ongoing series of earthquakes has been rattling Santorini, a volcanic island in Greece, prompting authorities to strengthen emergency plans. Hundreds of seismic events, ranging from magnitude 3 to 5, have occurred over recent days, alarming residents and visitors. Finance Minister Vasilis Kikilimirius emphasized the need for preparedness during an emergency meeting in Athens, acknowledging that while predicting earthquakes is impossible, they must anticipate various scenarios. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged calm among residents. Rescue teams equipped with sniffer dogs and drones have been deployed, and access to certain coastal areas has been restricted. Public events in Santorini have been…

A recent study suggests that approximately 3.8 billion years ago, two vast gorges on the Moon, Vallisschrödinger and Vallis Planck, were formed in a mere 10 minutes due to a colossal impact event. These gorges, comparable in size to the Grand Canyon, are part of the larger Schrödinger impact basin. Researchers estimate the energy from the impact was 1,200-2,200 times more powerful than the energy from a nuclear explosion. Using data from NASA’s lunar reconnaissance orbiter, the team analyzed images of these geological features, revealing their extensive lengths—Vallisschrödinger spans 168 miles and Vallis Planck is 174 miles long. The study…

Last week, semiconductor stocks like NVIDIA, AMD, and Micron saw declines amid concerns over a Chinese company, DeepSeek, which claims to have developed a cost-effective method for training AI models. Investors feared this innovation could reduce demand for GPUs and data center components. However, these fears may be overstated, particularly after Meta Platforms’ CEO Mark Zuckerberg reassured investors during a call, emphasizing that the demand for chips might not decrease even if training workloads are reduced. DeepSeek, established in 2023, reportedly uses efficient software algorithms and older generation GPUs due to U.S. export bans on advanced hardware, managing to match…
