The Google AI isn’t hallucinating about glue in pizza, it’s just over indexing an 11 year old Reddit post by a dude named fucksmith.

Is it inevitable that an LLM will get contaminated by BS like "A global nuclear war will be good for the economy" in some grad student's ChatAI generated thesis?

Or "increased oil drilling is good for the environment" policy paper developed by a think tank?

So while you & I might think its necessary to speed up the Green Transition & enhance/accelerate measures to reduce emissions, Shell's shareholders disagree.

The firm has just sought & obtained agreement from investors to slow down its measures to mitigate its environmental impact & reduce progress towards its own (already weak) climate targets.

More reason(s) the fossil fuels sector cannot really be central to climate response(s).

We don't have the time to slow down!

The phase out of fossil fuel becomes an imperative.

Negotiation hasn't worked. Consumer pressure hasn't worked. Shareholder's ESG hasn't worked.

Consumer subsidies to transition to renewables might work.

Punitive carbon taxes might work.
Lawsuits might work. Export limits might work. Pollution penalties must grow.

It's an irresponsible industry that cannot self-regulate. Instead it's bent on frying the planet for profit.

It's funding fascist movements in every democracy.

The post WW2 Era wasn't a golden age for everyone.

Women made 40% less than men.

PoC made 60% less than whites.

Housing was redlined & government programs excluded huge swathes of the population.

NEW: A right-wing group is filing lawsuits targeting states exempt from some National Voter Registration Act provisions to publicly disclose their voter rolls. If successful, the lawsuits could lead to voter purges ahead of November. https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/right-wing-legal-group-targets-states-exempt-from-releasing-voter-registration-lists/

Today I saw a number, which I will never forget.

During this war, Russia has launched 5628 Shahed-136 drones towards Ukraine.

That is 5628 times, civilians have heard a buzzing moped engine in the sky, and seen the Shahed-136 strike a civilian home, a power plant, or a school with its 50 kilogram warhead.

For comparison, Hitler struck London with 2857 V1 and V2 rockets — half as many.

I simply do not know what to tell future generations when they ask, why we did not stop the Russian terror.

We didn't stop Putin because fossil fuel interests helped him evade sanctions & helped him finance his genocide.

If we had started the phase out of fossil fuel two decades ago, Ukraine would still be sovereign nation within its borders.

Gaza would still exist.

The planet wouldn't be frying & a fossil fuel funded anti-democracy movement would not be thriving.

Gaza has its people but is without food, fuel, hospitals, courts, schools, water distribution, and much of its housing has been bombed into rubble.

The proceeds from the Gaza Marine natural gas field should be spent to rebuild Gaza under a 2 state solution.

The administration said Tuesday that it is releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline from a Northeast reserve established after Superstorm Sandy in a bid to lower prices at the pump this summer.

Lawrence O'Donnell guests last night pointed out how Trump's fans at his court case include thugs & brutish felons.

That's what a fascist movement looks like, thugs, criminals, opportunists, traitors, grifters, collaborators, and quislings.

Though not serving as Trump’s attorney when he appeared as a witness today in Trump’s trial for criminally falsifying business records, Robert Costello is a lawyer, bound by New York’s Rules of Professional Conduct. Costello repeatedly showed his ethical unfitness, violating the most basic principles that inform the entire code. I’ve screenshot the very first paragraph of the entire code, highlighting the most pertinent phrases. 1/

What remains a mystery is how well funded Trump remains despite it all.

Some very rich people want Trump to succeed in his mission of ending constitutional democracy in America.

Identify those people please, a plea to the temporarily free press.

"Guys, don't stand! F*cking push forward! What mines are there? There's a road, they should move!"

Soviet methods in the Russian army, but instead of infantry, tanks are used for demining: part of the column of Russian armored vehicles enters the minefield.

The conversations between drone operators, staff commanders, and tank crews are a special treat for the ears.

The footage was taken in the village of Spirne, Donetsk region

The Russian occupiers lost five tanks.
