AI gets 45% of news wrong — but readers still trust it The BBC and the European Broadcasting Union have produced a large study of how well AI chatbots handle summarising the news. In short: badly. [BBC; EBU] The researchers asked ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemi…

“Google Gemini was by far the worst. It would make up an authoritative-sounding summary with completely fake and wrong references — much more than the other chatbots. It also used a satire source as a news source.”

This company doesn’t get nearly enough blame imo

We're seeing some confusion about this, so let's talk about it.

Home Depot has been complicit as ICE snatches day laborers out of parking lots. At minimum Home Depot is turning a blind eye, and there have also been rumors they may be more actively complicit. Organizers including #weaintbuyingit 🧵

Resharing @timhollo.bsky.social as #COP30 "talks were hauled back from the brink of collapse in an all-night session into Saturday morning, after a bitter standoff between a coalition of more than 80 developed and developing countries, and a group led by Saudi Arabia and its allies plus Russia"

and now Donald Trump referred to himself as a fascist while praising the socialist mayor, a few hours after the Democratic leadership voted to "condemn socialism"

I feel that we need to acknowledge that Marx was possibly the only funny German

‘My husband and daughter went down to the garage in case it flooded. Then I heard a strange noise’ – This is climate breakdown She was sure that there would be warnings if there was any danger. But then the floods came. This is Toñi García’s story

Heartbreaking stories like this are surfacing everywhere at ~1.5ºC of heating.

We are firmly on track to cross 2ºC and at the current heating rate of ~0.3ºC/decade we will reach this in the next ~16 years.

We are utterly unprepared for the climate chaos this will unleash.

Isn’t it great how politics is now basically grown men abusing children

This is just such evil behaviour

the politics that Labor (Aust), Labour (UK), Libs (CAN) & Dems (US) have embraced is deeply alienating. In addition to what's going down in Aust, UK & US, this damning 🧵 shows the depths Canada's Mark Carney is plumbing...

we are, as @timhollo.bsky.social says, in the 'in between days'

Yikes

Yeah, I know… but weirdly he doesn’t look older to me. Just quite quite different!

But… He doesn’t even look that old, tbh!

And your possumy face hasn’t changed a bit 😝

This is a hugely famous public figure. I absolutely could not have told you it was him, even while reading the article. In fact, despite the caption, I’m not sure I believe it. What’s going on?

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social hi George, we had a couple of exchanges many years ago on Xitter when I was writing my book. Wondered if you’d have a read of this. Interested in your thoughts.

Oh, hi David! Now I’m embarrassed that I’m diverting from the new record 🫣

I can imagine

The Little Desert, by Not Drowning, Waving 16 track album

I love the new Not Drowning Waving record, but even more I’m loving going back and obsessively listening to their back catalogue.

Old Wobbly Man is such a stunning track, but this whole record is just magnificent.

I love/hate the hospital bed anecdote. Argh!

The Art of Being Difficult I want to talk about change, about people, about systems, what it takes to make progress, and why being difficult is so important. From fire alarms to hospital beds. From music apps to cars. From c…

Oh, this is wonderful stuff from @lindamciver.adsei.org

Powerful mix of anger and love, darkness and light, detail and story, articulating the bullshit around AI and tech, and the need to be "horrible, ungrateful people".

Give it a read

Exactly, that, right? It’s such an abdication of our power!

Ooh, thank you!

I know, right?!

And the frantic excitement about possible outcomes from COP is building. Outcomes which we all know will change nothing.

Here's my latest, explaining why we need to withdraw our consent from this system and make the COPs obsolete.

It has just come to my attention that it’s the 19th of November. 2025.

No, I don’t know how that happened, either. And I take no responsibility for it. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Wonderful agitprop performance,!

Thank you! And very pleased

In a busy week, I delayed reading Tim's post because they always deserve focused attention, and wow, this one really hit home. The call to action - and the hope! - that I needed.
