There is a bleak sort of pleasure in telling people who bring up AI in casual conversation, “Actually, I’m one of the authors AI stole from. Not an exaggeration. The judge ordered them to send me a check.” It hits them different when it’s a real person saying it.

-- of weaponised incompetence at play here. e.g. Something I didn't get into a lot in the piece - partly it was already *so long* - is that for Chevron it is now far cheaper to leave CCS at Barrow half-finished and pay the "penalty" of buying offsets (which AFAIK don't even need to be ACCUs! 🫠).

How'll Australia gaslight Pacific Nations today in the pre-COP talks? How can Labor hold a solar panel in one hand exuding virtue, while in the other hand continue to sign-off new fossil fuel projects and export gas with impunity? Australia can't be trusted www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2026...
thenewdaily.com.au
If climate talks cannot stop new coal and gas, what are they for?
The evidence is all around. Heat, fires, storms and droughts are not warnings of a future threat. They are symptoms of an unfolding crisis.
