This is one of the more interesting cases I’ve heard for why we should put AI data centers in space. Yes, it would benefit a few billionaires, but it could also lessen the environmental toll on Earth. And we’re going to need to cut AI's carbon footprint in as many ways as we can. Space architect Ariel Ekblaw and I went deep on the opportunities—and many challenges—of building AI infrastructure in orbit. Watch our conversation here: Produced by Atlantic Re:think, The Atlantic's creative marketing studio, in collaboration with PwC.

The UK recently completed a trial of a carbon credit system that sets a daily allowance for each person—in effect, a limit on your ability to purchase food, clothing, goods, and travel as you have always done. The limit has been set at 20kg of carbon emissions per day, with food restricted to 2600g. Food manufacturers are cooperating by adding a carbon statement on their packaging to inform consumers how much of their allowance each product consumes. For example, a packet of cheese accounts for 1100g—almost half of your daily carbon allowance. Different foods have varying carbon rates. Root vegetables like potatoes and carrots are relatively low, while red meat incurs the highest charge – so high, in fact, that if you were to spend your entire daily food carbon allowance on red meat, it would buy you 30g of steak—just one mouthful. You may recall I mentioned this in a speech some time ago and was fact-checked. Well, fact-check this! Net zero is supported by the Liberal Party, the Labor Party, and the Nationals. Only One Nation stands firm in defending our agricultural sector from this insane push to control the food supply and hollow out the bush.

New short course on Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback! RLHF is one of the key techniques that led to the rise of modern LLMs. It is used to align LLMs with human preferences, to make them more honest, helpful and harmless, by (i) learning a reward function that mimics human preferences, as expressed in human-provided labels, then, (ii) tuning an LLM to generate outputs that receive a high reward. In this course, taught by Nikita Namjoshi, Developer Advocate for GenAI at Google Cloud, you'll learn the details of how RLHF works, including how to apply it to tune an LLM for your own applications. You'll also use an open source library to tune a base LLM to align with human preferences expressed in a training set, and evaluate the tuned model by comparing its responses before and after RLHF-tuning. Please sign up here!

Most people associate carbohydrates primarily with fuel for training, and that is an important part of the story. But they also serve another important role: carbohydrates provide carbon, one of the basic structural elements your body uses to build tissue. Instead of being used only for energy, some of the carbon from glucose can be redirected into amino acids and other molecules involved in adding muscle. Put simply, carbs can help power the workout and provide raw material for the adaptation. I don’t recommend everyone consume carbs during training. Most people already have enough glucose and glycogen available for a typical session. The amount and timing should depend on whether you are trying to maximize performance and recovery or simply complete the workout while managing calories.

2026 Conservative Claire Coutinho claims the UK's pursuit of Net Zero is driven by ideology, and that using less wind and solar could save the equivalent of around £500 per household a year 2023: Conservative Claire Coutinho, "Nothing will distract us from achieving Net Zero or driving forward with renewables" The claim that less wind and solar would save every household £500 a year is deeply misleading. Coutinho is effectively taking the result of a model that changes almost the entire future electricity system—less wind and solar, much more nuclear and gas, different grid requirements and, crucially, no carbon price—and presenting the resulting £500-plus difference as though it were the cost of renewables. The research simply doesn't establish that. The figure does not come from evidence that renewables currently add £500 to household bills. It comes from a Conservative-backed modelling exercise comparing two hypothetical energy systems and turning £320 billion of estimated economy-wide savings between 2030 and 2050 into an annual equivalent per household. Crucially, the supposedly cheaper alternative doesn't simply build less wind and solar. It assumes far more nuclear power, substantially more unabated gas, lower spending on networks and balancing, and the removal of carbon pricing from electricity generation. Of the £320 billion headline saving, £137bn comes from assumed lower network costs, £67bn from balancing and ancillary services, £22bn from subsidies and capacity costs, and £94bn from lower wholesale prices. That £94 billion is particularly important because much of that supposed saving is created by changing the rules of the comparison. The existing-policy scenario assumes generators continue paying a carbon price which rises substantially towards 2050; the alternative effectively abolishes that carbon price from 2031. Unsurprisingly, a model in which gas-fired electricity no longer carries that cost produces cheaper wholesale electricity. But that isn't evidence that wind and solar made electricity £94bn more expensive. It is principally the consequence of assuming a major carbon-pricing policy is abolished. Nor is removing carbon pricing simply £94bn of free money. Carbon pricing is deliberately intended to make polluters account for their emissions, discourage fossil-fuel generation and encourage cleaner alternatives, while carbon allowances also generate government revenue. Removing it means accepting considerably greater emissions and losing those revenues and incentives. The alternative model consequently produces hundreds of millions of tonnes of additional CO₂. The model also assumes Britain can successfully build around 20GW of nuclear capacity, while retaining much greater dependence on gas. Whether nuclear can be delivered at the assumed cost and timetable is far from guaranteed, while greater reliance on gas leaves households more vulnerable to international gas-price shocks—the same exposure that played such a large role in Britain's recent energy-price crisis. There is a legitimate argument about the costs associated with large amounts of wind and solar. An electricity system dependent on intermittent generation requires substantial investment in transmission, balancing, storage, interconnectors and backup capacity, and those costs shouldn't be ignored. But that is very different from demonstrating that wind and solar cost every household £500 a year. Nearly £100bn of the supposed saving comes from the decision to remove carbon pricing, not from discovering that wind and solar are £100bn more expensive. Coutinho has taken a £500-plus headline generated by a Conservative-backed model containing a whole package of assumptions—less wind and solar, much more nuclear, more gas, less grid investment and the abolition of carbon pricing—and presented it to the public as evidence that Britain's reliance on wind and solar is costing households hundreds of pounds. That's misleading because the model doesn't establish that. It establishes that, if you change the entire future energy system and the taxes imposed upon it, its authors calculate a lower overall system cost. Turning that into “less wind and solar will save your household £500” strips away the assumptions that actually produce the number.

American Rancher Warning America About What’s Being Threatened By The USDA & ESG Carbon Regulations - Big Agricultural Will Force All Smaller Farms Out - CEO for Rabobank said if you can't afford carbon offsets, you should not be allowed to fly. The only people that should be allowed to fly are those that can afford carbon offsets - Cameras To Monitor Citizens On How Far You Drive - They Will Control What You Eat & What Your Kids Eat In Schools - ADM and Tyson right now are in the middle of building $500 million dollar plants where they are going to grow insects for human consumption, all in the name of climate change - Digital Tracking Tags On Cattle - They want your land - & Much more all in the name of Climate Change “Agriculture cannot go along with this carbon deal. You cannot agree to have your carbon emissions measured in any way because what they want, like I read out of that Tyson Foods ESG report, what they want is your supplier data and a standardized way of calculating it. Because what do you think the next step is? They're going to want you to reduce it and reduce it and reduce it. It's $3,000,000,000 that the USDA took with no oversight. What they wanna do with it is build a system that measures your carbon emissions. They're kinda giving away what the problem is there. The problem is you and your carbon emissions. And all the bigwigs in agriculture have pretty much signed on to this deal and that narrative, that carbon emissions are this huge problem. But they also want to control how far you can travel. And they've actually tried to regulate this in different places in Europe where they put up cameras that monitor their citizens that make sure they're not traveling too far around the city or even driving older cars and things like that. And the citizens have cut the cameras down. The CEO for Rabobank had said if you can't afford carbon offsets, you should not be allowed to fly. The only people that should be allowed to fly are those that can afford carbon offsets. And if you're too poor to fly and you want to travel, you should put on a virtual reality headset, and that's how you can see the world. They also want to control what you eat. And the New York City schools right now, they have taken meat off the menu for at least 2 days of the week. And the New York City mayor has said that he is working on a plan where he will limit residents' ability to consume meat. And then you have also, you know, ADM and Tyson right now are in the middle of building $500,000,000 plants where they are going to grow insects for human consumption, all in the name of climate change. And they want your land. Biden's, uh, 30 by 30 executive order, which a lot of you are familiar with, I think, um, conservation easements and then, of course, eminent domain in this state. Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan, has said using eminent domain, the government should take away farmland so that they can, uh, put up windmills. That's his suggestion. All in the name of climate change. Farm Journal's trust in beef program, which is where the $40 million went to. You can put, EID tag or a tracking device in your calf's ear, and they will store all your information, all that cattle all that animal's information. But then you put an app on your phone, and you put all of the information about your operation into that app, how you have to rotate your cattle, what you feed them, your land, soil. All that goes into the app. — So if you rotate or if you feed certain things, they're going to measure your carbon emissions before and after, and they're going to say that you're calculating your benefits. And so what do you think they're going to do with that information once they can control your entire operation and have all the measurements of carbon emissions from your entire operation, they're going to control every aspect of your life.”

REPORT: Banks in the UK are now tracking the carbon footprint of each purchase made by their customers—from groceries to clothes—just as the government rolls out Digital ID. What was once dismissed as a conspiracy is happening now in real time. NatWest, one of Britain’s biggest banks, has introduced a “carbon score” to rate customers’ spending habits. While others encouraged people to rent clothes instead of buying them to reduce their “carbon impact.” A 2019 report from ARUP and C40 Cities outlined exactly where this leads: a world where people are limited to three new clothing items per year, zero meat or dairy, and one short flight—every three years. Critics warn this dystopian system isn’t coming, it’s being built through your bank account—and it’s already here. Will Americans wake up and fight back before it’s too late?

Former Bank of England deputy Jon Cunliffe likens "Britcoin"—the UK's incoming CBDC—to "giving your children pocket money, but programming the money so that it couldn't be used for sweets". "These new forms of money offer the ability for them to be... programmed to be released only when something happened." "There's a whole range of things that [programmable] money could do... which we can't do with the current technology." Remember, CBDCs cannot be launched unless digital ID is in place first. And if both are allowed to take root, they facilitate the imposition of social credit systems and personal carbon allowances—enabling authorities to approve, restrict, or block purchases based on behaviour, location, or carbon footprint. With these systems in place, every transaction becomes a checkpoint. An algorithm could deny your payment—or freeze your account entirely—for refusing a mandatory vaccine, posting the wrong opinion on social media, or exceeding your allocated personal carbon allowance. In other words, totalitarian control on an unprecedented scale.

We are releasing Carbon: a crazy fast DNA model Carbon is 275x faster than the next best model. So fast you can process the whole human genome on a single GPU in <2 days. Here are the tricks we used: When modelling DNA sequences a lot of the performance comes down to tokenizing the sequences in a smart way. BPE tokenizer struggle because there are no whitespaces and character (called base in DNA) level tokenizers waste a lot of compute on too many tokens. Carbon is built with a unique tokenizer: we split sequences in chunks of 6 bases, but during both training and inference we can work with single base resolution. That's similar to having word tokens but resolving them at the character level. All possible thanks to the DNA tokens unique structure. The architecture combined with the tokenizer makes the model 275x faster than the previous SoTA (Evo2) at this size. We built an interactive demo so you can explore how the model can generate DNA sequences, investigate the structure of genes, predict the effect of mutations, generate and fold proteins and even reconstruct parts of the tree of life.

THE FEDERAL-ALBERTA ENERGY AGREEMENT: ⬇️ Ends the punitive oil and gas emissions cap, enabling energy producers to grow and thrive. Immediately suspends federal net zero power regulations in Alberta, reducing risks to the electrical grid and opening opportunities for investments in AI, data centers, and applications development. Provides a clear path for constructing a 1 million+ barrel per day bitumen pipeline to Asian markets, decreasing dependency on a single customer for Canada's most valuable resource. Allows for adjustments to the tanker ban once the new pipeline to Asia is approved by the major projects office. Includes amendments enabling companies to advertise their environmental leadership and efforts globally without fear of penalties. Positions Alberta as a world leader in developing and implementing emissions reduction infrastructure, particularly carbon capture, utilization, and storage. Demonstrates that emissions reduction can be achieved without capping productivity, growth, or innovation in oil and gas development.

"The UK recently completed a carbon credit system trial that sets a daily allowance for each person... on your ability to travel, purchase food, clothing, and even heat your home—all rationed under the guise of saving the planet." "These policies directly threaten local farmers and producers, as red meat gets penalised heavily, while synthetic lab-grown meat is being propped up as a solution." "If you ever see yourself going on vacation again, you're going to want to start biking or walking to work, because a typical round trip via airplane from London to New York emits... 80 days of your total carbon allowance." "This isn't about reducing carbon, it's about reducing you. Restricting how far you can travel, what you can eat, and ultimately, how much freedom you can enjoy." "And once this system is linked to digital IDs and centralised banking, the consequences of exceeding your carbon limits are severe. Overspend on travel or food this month? You could be locked out of making non-essential purchases." "Personal carbon allowances won't stop climate change. They will, however, stop you from living freely. They'll hollow out the middle class, decimate local agriculture, and concentrate power in the hands of the global elite." "It has very little to do with the climate and everything to do with control."

Let's be blunt. The actions of elites like Bill Gates finally make sense when you consider they might not believe in climate catastrophe at all. They see it as the ultimate tool for control. Gates' answer to the 1%'s colossal pollution isn't to stop polluting. It's to create a paid permission structure. He spends $9 million a year for a "get out of jail free" card, so his private jets keep flying. This reveals the true game: For you, "climate action" means restrictions: carbon taxes on your food, tracking your mileage, limiting your travel, and shaming your lifestyle. It means less sovereignty, less freedom, and more dependence. For them, it means a new market. It means investing in the "solutions" you will be mandated to buy—the patented technologies, the carbon credits, the surveillance systems to monitor your compliance. They aren't trying to save the planet; they are building a new economic framework where your carbon footprint becomes the primary measure of your compliance. Your behavior will be the asset they manage and trade. Their excessive emissions prove it. This was never about the environment. It's about constructing the ultimate rationale for social and economic control, with them forever at the top, governing the system they built to save themselves from a problem they created.
