And submit your abstract👉 whova.com/call_for_spe...

But we got a very specific example of that recently, and specifically using Claude Code - the software cited in Zeke's post.

You can immediately see why corporations like Anthropic *refuse* to disclose absolute, total numbers for energy consumption, and stick with per-query numbers

Funny but it must be a bit weird as a presenter, no ? Do presentations happen at the same time ? And the questions/discussions ?

A screenshot of prompting chatgpt with "how many new clusters were detected by hunt and reffert". It invents a first author for a paper that doesn't exist and returns a wrong answer (five) instead of ~2300.

I'm starting to find that papers mis-cite my own papers in really, really perplexing ways. It's quite obvious why if you just go to that one hyped up tool and ask it about your own work...

ChatGPT got my supervisor's name right but changed me to be a "William" (lol) and gave the wrong number

BD. Plateau de Bofnews. Le présentateur dit : Nous recevons à nouveau le plus grand génie économique et politique de ce siècle, le milliardaire... Le milliardaire en question le coupe en levant le bras droit et en criant "bip bip". Journaliste : Monsieur Maréchal... Maréchal : Vous pouvez m'appeler "patron". Journaliste : Vous êtes là pour rebondir sur les accusations d'esclavagisme moderne dénoncées par l'ultra-gauche extrême suite à la mise au travail forcé... Maréchal : "obligatoire". Journaliste : ...des allocataires sociaux. Maréchal : En effet, certains agitateurs anarcho-anti-économie-de-marché semblent s'émouvoir de la situation de ce qu'ils appellent avec dédain les "personnes précaires". D'un côté, les pauvres veulent un travail mais dès qu'on leur en donne un, ils veulent en plus être payés. Comme si on avait besoin de pouvoir s'acheter un écran plat pour regarder "les ch'tis à Guantanamo". Néanmoins, en tant que représentant de la république, j'ai décidé de montrer à ces sans-dents que la nation peut se montrer humaniste et charitable pour éradiquer la misère des plus pauvres. C'est pourquoi, le président m'a mandaté pour lancer un projet de loi "fin de vie" pour les allocataires sociaux afin de mettre fin à leur calvaire. Journaliste : Un génie ET un saint. Maréchal : Voilà.

What you have to understand is that Carbon Capture and Storage is driven not by environmental concerns but by fossil fuel industry demands. It provides both a new revenue stream (at our expense) and the mother of all greenwashing schemes. Whether it works or not (it doesn't) is entirely irrelevant.

Excited to be at #OSM2026! 🌊✨

I’ll be presenting in HC52A: Resilience in a Changing Ocean 🌍 on Friday, exploring how Posidonia oceanica dead leaves 🍃 can act as a nature-based solution for coastal resilience to global change 🏖️

Let’s connect! 🤝

6/ That claim was severely undermined by the company's backtracking on scope3 emissions. These emissions were acknowledged in earlier corporate documents, then removed. This regression suggests voluntary regulation allows commitments to appear or disappear according to strategy/communications needs.

4/ 🌰 In a nutshell: Total’s counsel portrayed the company as a 🐈‍⬛ Schrödinger corporation: simultaneously a minor & substituable actor, yet also indispensable to global energy security and state sovereignty...

L'avocat de Total plaide à son tour sur l’article 1252 :
➡️ Il rejette tout lien de causalité entre la holding Total SE et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre de ses filiales.
➡️ Il réfute que Total puisse être tenu responsable du changement climatique auquel de nombreux autres acteurs participent.

👏 Et on termine par un chantage à l’emploi massif :
“Si le tribunal imposait à TotalEnergies de ne pas poursuivre ses activités, c’est TOUTE l’industrie française qui s’en trouverait affectée - y compris l’armement dans un contexte un peu chaud en ce moment.”

L’avocat de TotalEnergies attaque son indépendance, rappelant qu’elle a déjà signé des tribunes dénonçant la stratégie de Total.

🗣️ “Si j’étais pneumologue et que je travaillais sur les effets des pollutions sur la santé, probablement que je signerais des tribunes contre certains industriels.”

13/ 👩‍🏫 Dr. Masson-Delmotte's testimony made a fact very clear: the climate crisis is not a theoretical construct caused by abstract phenomenons - it is a physical reality resulting overwhelmingly from the production and consumption of fossil fuels.

A bit annoying to me how little this trial has been publicized.

A world-recognized IPCC expert can be "questioned" on the validity of her expertise on climate change by Total apparently.

45/ TotalEnergies' legal team now takes the floor.
In contradiction with their earlier argument claiming insignificance, Total now rejects the case as "dizzying" as potentially impacting the company's operation in over 120 countries and the work of more than 100.000 employees

33/ On behalf of the French government, the public prosecutor concludes by highlighting the risk that a decision in this case could pose to other large French corporations. This conclusion makes explicit the concerns and motivation of the public prosecutor.

Total saying fossil fuel so important to my morning "tartine" I should accept climate change in exchange... 🫠

(if that was the real choice, I'd rather eat raw broccoli for breakfast and I don't even like cooked broccoli)

Wow.

So just to be clear, the French government came to this lawsuit from citizens & the city of Paris and argued that Total could not be prosecuted because climate change is not in the scope of the "Duty of Vigilance".

The whole French political climate at the moment truly makes me want to cry 🥲.

10/ 📌 Mabile stresses the key role the judges are called to play in this affair: not to decide over a political matter but rather to apply existing law to the facts at the core of this affair.

6/ Stressing the diversity of the plaintiffs & their own actions (citing the climate plans of the municipalities having joined the legal action, such as Ville de Paris), Mabile emphasises the legitimacy of this action, acting for the public interest.

7/ Mabile highlights the scale of TotalEnergies' climate footprint, the company's carbon footprint exceeding the entire French territorial emissions!
He also reminds judges that TotalEnergies had the opportunity to change its business model, as some of its shareholders requested

3/ 🏛️ The hearing takes place at the Paris Judicial Court (more on this later). The room is packed with journalists, legal experts & scholars - some of them coming from abroad, demonstrating the wide interest generated by this case.

Conveniently forgotten.
