Out today in IJHCI: we surveyed 300 UK adults on AI ethics. Top concerns were avoiding harm & privacy, ahead of fairness, transparency, accountability. Healthcare AI rated most ethical, autonomous weapons least. Ethical principles didn't predict judgments.

The television series Game of Thrones helped popularize dire wolves, but the creatures don’t just represent a figment of science fiction: the dire wolf was a real animal that went extinct around 10,000 years ago. Did scientists actually de-extinct the dire wolf now?
The Dire Wolf Isn’t Back—But Here’s What ‘De-Extinction’ Tech Can Actually Do
Colossal Bioscience says it has “de-extincted” the dire wolf, but other scientists disagree and say more important conservation science is being lost in all the hype

“At 3C of global heating, climate damage cannot be insured against, covered by governments, or adapted to. That means no more mortgages or new real estate devt, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function and capitalism ceases to be viable.”

This is some bombshell, scandelous, spy-novel-esque news in the climate space:
It’s alledged that a lobbying firm representing ExxonMobil engaged in hacking and targeting 128 climate activists and/or environmental organizations involved in climate ligation to discredit those individuals/groups.
