For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so Iβve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. Itβs been pretty spectacular.

21.10.2025 19:58 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Cartoon depicts two male farm workers inside a vehicle. A cloud of green coloured gas is emits from a driver's backside with a "PRRRRP!" sound effect. The passenger is exiting the vehicle at speed holding his nose & gasping for fresh air. Headline: 'METHANE TARGET LOWERED - NEWS' Driver: "SORRY, BUT IT'S ONLY SHORT-LIVED." Passenger: "AT THIS RATE SO AM I." Refers to a lowering of New Zealandβs emissions targets by government including a reset of the methane targets to 14-24% below 2017 levels by 2050, promising there would be no tax on methane emissions.
