I don't think people appreciate enough the fact that, at a time where global warming was approaching an inflection point yet renewable energy was finally becoming economically viable, we decided to squander that opportunity because literal death cultists decided we needed Infinite Bullshit Machines.

Simple blood test can predict which breast cancer treatment will work best, study finds
Exclusive: DNA test would mean patients could be offered most effective treatment first, boosting their chances of beating the disease
Scientists have developed a simple DNA blood test that can predict how well patients with breast cancer will respond to treatment.
More than 2 million people globally are diagnosed each year with the disease, which is the world’s most prevalent cancer. Although treatments have improved in recent decades, it is not easy to know which ones will work best for which patients. Continue reading...

The primary use case for LLMs (and data centres) is to create an energy gap, to be filled with fossil fuels, so we can keep this trend going while creating more wealth for the billionaire class.
Global average temperature maps relative to average 1961-1990 baseline for every year since 1850. Red is above baseline, blue below baseline. Notice the trend?
This is fossil fuel driven, friends.

Satellites just needed an eye exam. A new analysis reveals NOAA’s "increasing" snow trend was actually just improved sensors spotting thinner dustings. The reality: autumn snow is shrinking, confirming the Arctic’s reflective heat shield is dissolving faster than the data previously admitted.
Atmospheric physicists find error in widely cited Arctic snow cover observations
For decades, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has offered a snapshot of the planet's changing climate—but University of Toronto researchers have found that some of the underlying data underrepresents a key driver of Arctic warming.
