In Perugia, @mariaressa.bsky.social says she won 8 of her 10 court cases in the Philippines. “Many Filippinos today believe I am a criminal - and I am, since I was convicted.

Climate-change deniers use Grok AI to write a climate-change denier article, and published that in a climate-change denial journal. They even had to 'steer' Grok a couple of times, because its text was not climate-change denier enough.
