How a false Net Zero claim became ‘news’
…a tweet by Reform MP and GB News presenter Richard Tice caught my eye. He was claiming that Net Zero was the cause of the Heathrow shutdown, and that the issue was a “refusal to have diesel generators”.

Brilliant news! At last, confirmation that the Govt *will* go ahead with the #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. Young people who know & love nature are far more likely to protect & restore it - as well as enjoying better physical & mental health

Incredible! Why do some people believe very wealthy “business men” are to be admired? These obscenely rich people are the lowest of the low. The constant desire to increase wealth at all costs is an anathema to humanity and should be loathed, never admired

Today the Royal Society will meet to discuss “Fellows’ behaviour”. Without doubt the fellow they will primarily be discussing is Elon Musk.
The behaviour may range from his public dissemination of unfounded conspiracy theories to his attacks on the science

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives *now*
Group of Labour MPs urge No 10 to be tougher on migration to fend off Reform
Exclusive: Pressure group set up by MPs from seats where Reform came second amid concern about party’s rise

This is how AI works, it learns, it doesn’t care where from
See, here's what's happening:
1. Someone asks Grok a question and it invents a wrong answer
2. People post that answer in tweets.
3. People ask Grok the same question and it gives a more certain wrong answer with sources
4. The sources are the tweets from point 2.
Grok is eating its own shit.

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.
The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

A truth...
The fight shouldn’t be between left & right
It should be between the uber-wealthy who are sucking up the wealth vs the rest of us
That’s the real fight
And it scares oligarchs so much, they spend their money & time (e.g Musk) ensuring we fight eachother instead
