"Fossil fuels? Andy, don’t Burn’em…"

Rather an important update on claims that Burnham may be about to approve North Sea drilling… Ill-informed original reporting? A u-turn caused by campaigning? Let’s see what Monday brings, and obviously keep pushing. Fossil fuels? Andy, don’t Burn’em… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Text in updated BBC article reads: “Some in Westminster had been expecting an announcement on oil and gas in Burnham's first speech as PM, after he takes over on Monday.
But it is understood that plans are likely to be unveiled at a later date instead. A source close to Burnham said no final decisions in this area had yet been made.
While details of the oil and gas plans are not clear, the incoming prime minister is expected to uphold the manifesto commitment. One source said Burnham might pitch this as a significant change of direction but said any overt support for completely new licences is not on the cards.”

If Burnham buckles to the City in not appointing Ed Milliband… but doesn’t buckle to the millions of disaffected Labour voters in not removing Mahmood from the Home Office, that’ll be about as depressing a start as I’ve prepared myself to expect.

It's pretty disgraceful that there has been absolutely no mention of this from the Prime Minister. It's increasingly clear that some attacks, correctly, warrant disgust, emergency measures and days of media coverage. Others seem to be met with silence.

Like Trump, Reform can only win because of very ignorant people who furiously believe things that are not true. Take them away, leaving only those who fully understand Reform’s policies and their consequences, and you have a hard right party polling under 20%

To everyone out there who defends and encourages reliance on generative AI: I want you to explain to me how software systems that do this is not just defensible but something good and to be encouraged. Go on. Explain it to me, right now. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Seeing the same burial image on social media, others turned to X’s AI assistant Grok to check its veracity. Like Gemini, Grok will breezily assure you the photo is not from Iran at all – although it lands on a different date, disaster and location. The image is “from Rorotan Cemetery in Jakarta, Indonesia – a July 2021 stock photo of Covid mass burials. Not Minab,” it says.

In both cases, the AI answers sound sure: they don’t equivocate, and even provide “sources” for the original image, should you choose to check them. Follow the thread to examine those, however, and you’ll begin to hit dead ends: either the image doesn’t appear at all, or the link provided is to a news report that doesn’t exist. For all their impression of clarity and precision, the AIs are simply wrong.

The cemetery image, it turns out, is authentic. Researchers have cross referenced the photo of the site with satellite images that confirm its location, and it can be cross-referenced again with dozens more images taken of the same site from slightly different angles, and again with video footage – none of which experts say show signs of tampering or digital manipulation. The “factchecks” by Gemini and Grok are just one example of a tidal wave of AI-generated slop – hallucinated facts, nonsense analysis and faked images – that are engulfing coverage of the Iran war. Experts say it is wasting investigative time and risks atrocities being denied – as well as heralding alarming weaknesses as people increasingly rely on AI summaries for news and information.

GHW Bush’s letter to Bill Clinton feels like it came from another planet - one where political rivals were still countrymen, not enemies. The ink is only 33 years old, but the sentiment might as well be from a century ago.

Spoke to the Guardian about the idea of quitting LLMs for climate: -“I see this all as very much part of the tactic of trying to embed these systems into society and instil dependency in a fashion similar to the growth of single-use plastics in the 1970s.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“Consumer software that generates text, images and videos are uniquely energy inefficient,” says Ketan Joshi, an Oslo-based climate analyst associated with the Australia Institute, due to the “vast datasets and computational strain of pattern-matching that happens underneath the hood”.

Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason, he says, a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike.

“You might still get the shopping done, and that single trip alone may not even look all that bad in terms of cost or emissions, but what happens when that’s all of your trips, and when all of society starts doing this?”
