Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

Justin Rowlatt, you should be ashamed for kowtowing at the feet of Greta Thunberg, her demand that all emissions be halted immediately would result in billions of people starving from no fuel to move food from farms to store, you did that interview because you thought it would make you look good. Greta claims 200 species per day going extinct from climate change. That's 73,000 per year and they can't name even one. The authority says 1.7 per year and none from climate change, instead all effects from the crush of humanity. There are 163 new consumers on earth every minute, that's the problem you should be addressing. By ignoring it, you play right into the hands of obscene corporate profits your side feigns to be against.
https://youtu.be/fIDxQlqAcBQ?t=215 Greta's demand to the faces of WEF who also grovel like weasels before her holiness who failed to do her homework to comprehend anything beyond her childish fairy tale level. I did the homework …
.
Extinction reality vs. models back to 1979 highlights:
Greta Thunberg: 73,000/yr (Adam Rogers, 1995, no science behind it, prove me wrong, where is the paper, the formula used, the data inputs, all hidden because they know it's pure bollocks)
Edward O. Wilson: Up to 50% extinct by year 2000
Reality: 1.7/yr (IUCN)
.
1995, Adam Rogers of United Nations, [Book] Taking action: An environmental guide for you and your community, https://books.google.com.sl/books?id=0QZOu-u9HHgC&printsec=frontcover
… "every 24 hours, an estimated 150 to 200 species of life become extinct" (in the preface)
… No citation or reference to any scientific paper.
1988, Edward O. Wilson Harvard University, Biodiversity, https://www.csu.edu/cerc/researchreports/documents/BiodiversityEOWilson1988.pdf
… "By the end of this century [year 2000], our planet could lose anywhere from 20 to 50% of its species"
… Ok, so up to all species extinct by 2012, got it.
2009, IUCN, https://portals.iucn.org/library/efiles/documents/RL-2009-001.pdf
… "869 recorded extinctions" … "since the year 1500"
… That's 1.7 extinct species per YEAR. < < < < < < < < < < < < < <
… IUCN is the International Union for Conservation of Nature assessing species
… "… over 1400 … organizations. Some 16,000 scientists and experts … 1000 full-time staff in more than 50 countries."

Look at how many ice breaking ships they have used to break the ice, look at how many machines they brought there, look at how many garbages and human wastes they've created, and look at what they have done to the glaciers. It's not too difficult to understand why the glacier is melting so much faster than expected. Climate change does contribute to the melting of the glacier, but human activities on the Antarctic is making it worse. What they're doing is not helping. It's merely a competition of exploring the Antarctic, and see which country can find the treasure first, and they will claim it as their own. When can human stop being greedy and destroying the Earth. and when can human leave these pure lands and water alone. We only have one Earth! Don't tell me that we can move to Mars. Maybe our ancestors have destroyed Mars and it took them a great deal of efforts to find Earth. Don't repeat the same mistake again!

Does no-one see the irony here? They're using planes to get there (powered by?), they melt snow for drinking water using gas (a fossil fuel) , they use snow ploughs (powered by?) and what powers the boilers?
