98% of all recent environmental claims and commitments from the world’s largest meat and dairy companies can be categorized as “greenwashing”, or intentionally misleading
The vast majority of environmental claims from the animal agricultural industry are misleading “greenwashing” that relies on vague promises or projections, according to a study published April 22, 2026 in the open-access journal PLOS Climate by Maya Bach and Jennifer Jacquet from the University of Miami, United States, and colleagues.
Habitual coffee intake shapes the gut microbiome and modifies host physiology and cognition - Nature Communications
DISCUSSO 2026-05-04 — Paper Nature Communications: studio prospettico a 3 fasi con washout su asse microbiota-intestino-cervello.
Risultati chiave: il caffè aumenta impulsività e reattività emotiva (anche deca). Senza caffè la memoria migliora. Microbioma cambia davvero — più Cryptobacterium/Eggerthella, meno GABA e indoli nei bevitori. Effetto antinfiammatorio reale (CRP più basso, IL-10 più alto) — anche col deca, quindi sono i polifenoli non la caffeina. Cortisolo invariato — il caffè non stressa, rende impulsivo. 9 metaboliti chiave collegano batteri specifici a misure cognitive.
Sintesi pratica: caffè = più veloce e reattivo, meno memoria. Deca = benefici antinfiammatori + memoria senza impulsività. Il caffè è un farmaco complesso che agisce sul cervello attraverso la flora intestinale.

Creating Friendly AI: The Analysis and Design of Benevolent Goal Architectures (CFAI) is a book-length document written by Eliezer Yudkowsky in 2001. CFAI is about the design features and cognitive architecture of friendly goal systems, rather than the intelligence architecture or goal content. It also analyzes the ways in which AI and human psychology are likely to differ, and the ways in which those differences are subject to design decisions.
The following paragraphs briefly summarize the content of the document.
Challenges
FAI refers to “benevolent” AI systems, that have advanced at least to the point of making real-world plans in pursuit of goals. In this context, some challenges arise.
At the beginning of the design process, a first challenge can be envisioning perfection, which in terms of FAI means a set of “perfectly friendly” external behaviors. However, the main challenge is not getting an AI to exhibit some specific set of behaviors, but solving the problem of the Friendship structure, i.e. the task of building a Friendly AI that wants to learn Friendliness.
Concerning “conservative” assumptions on FAI, they differ, and in some cases they are even opposed to those made by futurism. In fact, in creating FAI we should aim not “just to solve the problem, but to oversolve it”. Furthermore, an extremely powerful AI produced by an ultrarapid takeoff is not only a “conservative” assumption, but the most likely scenario. As the tendency of abusing of power is an evolved human tendency that need not necessarily exist among minds-in-general, a FAI could be built that lacks what Yudkowsky calls an "observer-centered goal system". Therefore, as the accumulation of power is not problematic, the Sysop scenario, a superintelligence that would act as the underlying operating system for all the matter in human space, is a possible, Friendly, extreme solution to Singularity. It also emphasizes the role of individual volition; "volition-based Friendliness" is the assu
