“ProPublica’s reporting revealed these cancelled contracts were delivering essential services … and exposed the cruel and dumb AI formulas DOGE bros used to cancel contracts,” Sen. Blumenthal said. “Veterans and all Americans deserve transparency.”

"An analysis submitted for peer review this week by Luccioni and three other authors looks at the need for more environmental transparency in AI models. In Luccioni’s new analysis, she and her colleagues use data from OpenRouter, a leaderboard of large language model (LLM) traffic, to find that 84 percent of LLM use in May 2025 was for models with zero environmental disclosure. That means that consumers are overwhelmingly choosing models with completely unknown environmental impacts.
“It blows my mind that you can buy a car and know how many miles per gallon it consumes, yet we use all these AI tools every day and we have absolutely no efficiency metrics, emissions factors, nothing,” Luccioni says. “It’s not mandated, it’s not regulatory. Given where we are with the climate crisis, it should be top of the agenda for regulators everywhere.”
As a result of this lack of transparency, Luccioni says, the public is being exposed to estimates that make no sense but which are taken as gospel."

So if you’ve been searching for a community where justice is a shared responsibility, where growth doesn’t mean harm, and where you're not expected to shoulder it all alone—consider this your invitation.
Because the only way we move forward is together.
That means unborn fetuses, very young #calves, and any #dolphins they deem "unfit" are excluded from the tally. These lives — many torn from their mothers — vanish without acknowledgement. Discarded with no thought or respect.
This isn’t just a numbers issue. It’s about #transparency, #ethics, and #accountability. Every life taken should count. But in the #Faroes, many don’t.

Many users report #GitHub shadowbanning accounts — making repos & profiles invisible to others without notice. New accounts often flagged automatically, sometimes requiring #phone or ID verification to regain access. This opaque system disrupts legitimate work and social logins, with poor support and unclear appeal processes. #Transparency and better user communication are urgently needed to fix these harmful automated bans. #Shadowban
