We found discussion to be dominated by #geopolitical and #SocioEconomic concerns, sidelining #climate and #biodiversity.

In fact, climate change and biodiversity were barely mentioned, and when they were discussed, it was mostly about side effects of the #EnergyTransition

This apologia being said, the fact is that #AI shouldn't be here - yet.

In a responsible world this would be an idea on paper until we've reached a point where we could develop a #NPU to facilitate #LLM or #generativeAI - as an academic project that could reach maturity in like a 100 years

But since #capitalism is the #socioeconomic equivalent of shooting cocaine straight into the vein, what we see is irresponsible execs - who are destroying #acedemia - while slamming their foot on the pedal.

According to a new report by the #Israeli newspaper #Haaretz, the number of Israelis #relocating to #Canada has increased considerably during the Israeli aggression on both #Gaza and #Lebanon.

Almost 10,000 #settlers moved from Israeli #OccupiedTerritories to Canada this year, as per the report. The newspaper reported that 7,850 Israelis filed for and were given work visas in Canada in 2024, representing a fivefold increase compared to the previous year.

For context, 1,585 Israelis were granted #WorkVisas in Canada in 2023.

The report revealed that the key reasons for the #migration were "Israel's" precarious #political and security position, heightened conflict, perceived #socioeconomic inequities, and the Israeli occupation's unwillingness to address crucial concerns.

According to the most recent data from the #Canadian Ministry of #Immigration, 3,425 temporary work visas and 4,424 regular work licenses were awarded to Israelis between December 2023 and September 2024.
