Google introduced the image generator earlier this month through Gemini, the company's main suite of AI models. "We are hoping to have that back online very shortly in the next couple of weeks, few weeks." "The Gemini debacle showed how AI ethics *wasn't* being applied with the nuanced expertise necessary," Margaret Mitchell, chief ethics scientist at Hugging Face and former co-leader of Google's AI ethics group, wrote on X. On Sunday, a text-based user query went viral, asking the Gemini chatbot whether Adolf Hitler or Elon Musk's tweeting of memes had a greater negative impact on society.

De Bouter’s company, Brikole, is a startup “circular business” that recycles discarded nets from the industrial tuna fishing industry. Kyle de Bouter holds board shorts made of recycled Nylon fishing nets similar to the kind he is recycling. Since the area is prime for fishing, especially tuna fishing, many in Seychelles believe those industries are a good place to start. He championed activity by “inventive young entrepreneurs” to improve society, mentioning recycled fishing nets as one example. “This is solving the problem of exhausted fishing nets,” said Julio Morón, a managing director of the Spanish tuna fishing organization called OPAGAC.

In its first major position paper on the topic, UK Finance also told the country's political parties that more clarity is needed on the path to a net zero economy to help financial markets muster the huge amounts of capital needed. In April, the government estimated it would need an additional 50 billion pounds-60 billion pounds ($61 billion-$73 billion) of capital investment a year through the late 2020s and 2030s to meet its net zero targets. UK Finance, which represents around 300 firms, set out a series of recommendations to marshal pools of capital which are currently "underused" due to "policy gaps". An independent body could be asked to monitor and provide updates on public and private capital flows, it added.

☆ NASA's supersonic passenger flights are getting closer

Since the 2003 end of Concorde, of course, flitting quickly across the Atlantic has been a thing of the past. Flights between London and New York take around eight hours, or closer to seven in the other direction. But now, the thought of supersonic travel has been mooted again – by none other than NASA, which reckons that New York-London flight could take as little as 90 minutes in the future. However, NASA is developing “quiet” supersonic aircraft, called X-59s, as part of its Quesst mission. Lockheed MartinSimilar studies to the ones done now, which were carried out a decade ago, shaped the development of the X-59 aircraft, according to Lori Ozoroski, project manager for NASA’s Commercial Supersonic Technology Project.

NASA asked private companies to figure out how to make commercial supersonic flight "a reality." Mach 2 to 4 planes, flying up to 3,045 mph, could be used on 50 established flight routes, per NASA. This comes as NASA is starting to test its own X-59 supersonic plane to make sonic booms quieter. To make supersonic flight a reality, it needs to become quieterThe news comes as NASA begins testing its own supersonic plane. NASA/Lockheed MartinThis is an important experiment because non-military supersonic flight over land has been banned by federal regulations for over 50 years in the US.

Achieving net-zero emissions targets should not come "at the expense of economic growth or vice versa", Anwar said in opening the inaugural Energy Asia conference, hosted by Malaysia's state oil firm Petronas (PETRA.UL). Anwar said natural gas would play an important role in the energy mix for Malaysia, which is among the world's top five LNG exporters.

Leaders are set to back a push for multilateral development banks like the World Bank to put more capital at risk to boost lending, according to a draft summit statement seen by Reuters. Citing the war in Ukraine, climate crisis, a fledgling pandemic recovery, widening disparity and declining progress, Banga said it was time the World Bank adopted a new vision. The summit aims to create multifaceted roadmaps that can be used over the next 18-24 months, ranging from debt relief to climate finance. Wealthy nations have yet to come good on climate finance that they promised as part of a past pledge to mobilize $100 billion a year, a key stumbling block at global climate talks. Though binding decisions are not expected, officials involved in the summit's planning said some strong commitments should be made about financing poor countries.

Trump lost Nevada in both 2016 and 2020, but Republicans think the state is winnable in 2024.

Trump easily won the 2016 Republican presidential caucus in Nevada, when he was fresh on the political scene. And the Nevada Republican Party awarded all of its delegates to Trump in 2020.

March 23 (Reuters) - BHP Group (BHP.AX) on Thursday signed an agreement with an engineering and project management firm Hatch to design an electric smelting furnace pilot plant in Australia in an attempt to slash its greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. The facility will help lower carbon dioxide intensity in steel production using iron ore from the global miner's Pilbara mines. The plant will be able to produce steel from iron ore using renewable electricity and hydrogen replacing coking coal. Last October, the mining giant teamed up with steelmaker ArcelorMittal (MT.LU) and two others to test a new technology to reduce carbon emissions in steelmaking at two plants in Belgium and North America.
