Jack is our last rabbit standing, and we never had a double-figures rabbit before. He's quite the Elderbun (86 or so!)

Ana writes: 'Artificial Intelligence (AI) has woven into a supply chain of capital, resources and human labour that has been neglected in debates about the social impact of this technology. While the literature on critical AI studies has focused on algorithmic bias and opacity, the global production line fostering AI innovation has drawn little attention. Using Tsing’s concept of supply chain capitalism, this paper offers a journey through mines, semiconductor manufacturers, data centres, technological firms, data labelling factories and e-waste dumps illustrating the complex, diverse, opaque, global structure of the supply chain of AI.

'Then, the paper moves into illuminating a case study drawn from six months of fieldwork on data centres in Mexico, Spain, UK and Chile, revealing that algorithmic harms go beyond code pitfalls. A close examination into the supply chain capitalism of AI reveals that other types of eco-political frictions are arising, particularly in the context of fundamental and environmental rights. This demands a broader and critical perspective on AI studies considering the entire capitalist production line of its industry—from mineral extractivism to e-waste dumps—and its environmental and political consequences.'

Elderbun Jack reclaims his under towel heat pad, stretching out luxuriantly!

I switched it off thinking it was getting too warm. But when I put it back on after a cold night he moved in quick! I think he gets to keep it on during the countdown to his TWELFTH official birthday 🐇🥂🌕🎆 --
that's 86 to you!

Statement signed by #HolocaustSurvivor and sons and daughter of Holocaust survivors on the Gideon Falter incident at London demo on April 13 (These include some friends and comrades of ours).

They absolutely refute the idea that 'openly Jewish' people needed any special protection amid the pro-Palestine marchers! They were standing together close to Falter and felt totally safe.
'Claims that these protests are no-go zones for Jews are completely untrue.'

'The destruction of Palestine is the destruction of the Earth'

'The genocide is unfolding at a time when the state of Israel is more deeply integrated in the primitive accumulation of fossil capital than it has ever been. The Palestinians, on the other hand, have zero stake in that process: no platforms, no rigs, no pipelines, no companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. But Arabs in the UAE and Egypt and Saudi Arabia do, of course. This is the political economy of the Abraham Accords and its expected sequels: a unification of Israeli and Gulf capital in the process of making money by producing oil and gas. This is the political ecology of normalisation: a sacralisation of the business-as-usual that destroys first Palestine and then the Earth.'

'...An early, provisional, conservative analysis found that emissions caused during the first 60 days of the war equalled annual emissions of between 20 and 33 low-emitting countries: a sudden spike, a plume of CO2 rising over the debris of Gaza. If I repeat the point here, it is because the cycle is self-repeating, only growing in scale and size: Western forces pulverise the living quarters of Palestine by mobilising the boundless capacity for destruction only fossil fuels can give.

'It is easy to forget just how central military violence has been and remains to business-as-usual. More than 5 per cent of annual CO2 emissions stem from the militaries around the world.'

'...The genocide in Gaza provides a useful object lesson in callousness. In the climate catastrophe, the lives of non-white multitudes in the global South do not count. They are expendable, valueless. We saw this playing out in the disaster that struck Derna: the more than 11,000 people killed over one single night left only the tiniest trace in the media of the West and none whatsoever in its politics. Just imagine if these had been 11,000 white Americans or Brits or Swedes killed over one night – imagine if it had been 11,000 of the people that really count: imagine the uproar!'
