…“And sulfur’s the feedstock for sulfuric acid and sulfuric acid is what we use to leach copper and cobalt out of the ground in places like the DRC and Zambia. The two of those countries together supply over a sixth of global copper and more than 70% of global cobalt. So the little oil snafu in the Straits of Hormuz could lead to no marginal copper or cobalt. No transformers, no grid expansion. No grid expansion, no data centers, which means no EV charging infrastructure, no AI build out, etc…

Fossil gas is a feedstock for the Haber-Bosch process used to make fertiliser (but invented for making early 20th Century munitions). Gas has been plentiful and cheap in the Persian Gulf and so it has made sense to build out decades of infrastructure to make fertiliser at point of source. Consequently, about one third of the world’s fertiliser demand has been met by moving it through the Gulf and out into the wider world. And now that’s not happening…

The government “asking” Fujitsu to do better in compensating the victims of their shoddy Post Office Horizon software.

The government “asking” oil
companies to not price gouge from war.

Spot on from David:

“The UK AI Action Plan is vaporware touted by spivs. The Government is going along with the vapor because they are utterly out of ideas and they need AI to be magic. So they’re not bothering to check anything — looking could only lead to disappointment. The press release is the entire project deliverable.”

When is the unofficial plan actually the official one?

This looks a lot like Israel + Palestine + Lebanon + Syria + Jordan + bits of Egypt.

People like US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, seem to be at least partly on board with it

But CABSGR is bullish. It’s upward trajectory may be infinite:

Watched the first episode of ‘Dirty Business’ last night and it was interesting to note the dramatisation of *machine learning* as playing a key part in allowing Thames Water’s corruption to emerge from a stream of data on shit (as opposed to shit data).

It’s obvious that ML has tremendous utility and now LLMs are part of that toolbox. The sea of hype around the latter can’t evaporate soon enough though. So we can better filter out cultural shit as well as actual shit

Coming to you from just north of the sea, at the bottom of Portsmouth South, a preview of a thing I have made.

It’s a resizeable interactive hexmap of UK constituencies:

- It builds upon the hexmap layout developed by Open Innovations: https://open-innovations.org/blog/2023-08-03-hexes-for-the-next-general-election
- But instead of SVG, it’s rendered from JSON using CSS grid, and each cell is a `<button>` that can open an info panel.

It’s a work in progress for something I’m collaborating on. Hopefully, more on the interface later this month.

TIL from Sir David King, former chief scientific adviser to the UK government, that last year’s global loss and damages due to climate and biosphere destabilisation were around $500 billion.

But latest projections in his team’s Planetary Solvency Plan assessment are that on our current path, loss and damages will rise by 2050 to

$10,000 bn to
$15,000 bn per year.

In other words, a 10% to 15% drop in global GDP *every year*.

Meanwhile, we have politicians still talking about growth 🙄

I have a client who is a lovely person, but they are all in on LLM ‘help’.

Yesterday, a bit frazzled after getting nowhere with a tech challenge for another client, I asked them to repeat and clarify some requests they had made of me which I needed to action.

They did, which is great.

But they also sent me an AI summary of a meeting we had had, pointing out that the information I needed was in that summary.

Except it wasn’t, and the bit that was in there was wrong 🤷‍♂️

Abstract expressionism:

An art form where a single overly-long paragraph tries to make you want to see the whole piece.

And you can, if you pay £99 per year or £29.95 per view.

I spent quite a bit of time on BlueSky for several months and found that if you’re a nobody there is close to no engagement. If you’re a somebody, the platform laps it up.

But on Mastodon the conversation flows irrespective of who you are.

…If nothing else, it will help you calibrate the utter bullshit coming out of the mouths of western governments of all stripes, and out of the heads of the executive and management classes fuelling impossible expectations. And maybe help us understand that we have to actively build what comes next outside of the world of commerce, because that world mostly does not give a fuck about what’s real

…Robert Friedland, a copper investor, says: “We’re consuming 30 mn tons of copper a year, only 4 mn tons of which is recycled. That means to maintain 3% GDP growth with no further electrification, we have to mine the same amount of copper in the next 18 years as in the last 10,000 years combined. This is without any new electrification, without data centers, without solar and wind and the greening of the world economy, you people have no idea whatsoever what we’re facing. You are dreaming.”

I certainly hope the EU can put the same sanctions on the US for attacking Venezuela as they did on Russia for attacking Ukraine. This is indefensible.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Europe consumes ~5x more oil than it produces. We have voted for the growth that has led us here: https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/115717152261231548 So politicians will follow that course. Every European that wants to be free of US hegemony should do everything in their power to reduce their personal energy footprint and to vote at every opportunity for degrowth
