With the help of @statto.bsky.social and @erictopol.bsky.social (🙏) I have delved a little into the often bizarre efforts of tech billionairres to live forever. Is there anything at all in it? My column for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social

National governments continue to dither and delay on the climate crisis.

At the @c40cities.bsky.social World Mayors Summit, local leaders are pushing ahead with bold action.

Elon Musk launched grokopedia to rival Wikipedia but like Grok the site is prone to bias as it mops up disinformation from social media and weighs it above actual fact. It also copied a lot of Wikipedia content ….
In Grok we don’t trust: academics assess Elon Musk’s AI-powered encyclopedia
From publishing falsehoods to pushing far-right ideology, Grokipedia gives chatroom comments equal status to research
