>they've only invested 2.5%
Lawsuit argues it's only 1.5% of actual investment into green, and that's likely giving Shell the benefit of the doubt.

They are probably scrambling to figure out how to make their own custom AI that obscures their obscuration of the actual facts while still trying to sound authoritative enough to pass in front of the mainstream audience. I imagine it takes a lot of ingenuity and work to manipulate the algorithm and/or the data feed to make the AI output the opposite of what it was designed to output

They could just store the answers they generate and then allow a comparison if you want to check, how close what you submit is to what they generated

Of course, they’re an oil company…lying is like first on the list of horrible things they do.

Reminds me of this: I once met a guy trying to preach Christianity on the street. I did to him that I thought it was all made up. For example on Noahs ark, what did the lions eat?
He replied: what do you think happened to the dodo.

> Obviously this isn’t open for pre-orders
Why not? I hear Dodos are very friendly (possibly good with kids), and failing that, also delicious.

Yup. The actual problem for Shell - like BP - is that they're spending way TOO MUCH money on a horribly unprofitable segment. ROCE gonna dive.

Ah yes the official narrative is always true. You can believe every word of it a half truth is the very best uncle Sam can do

Behold, the most thorough and thoroughly fascinating Wikipedia page I have ever encountered while rabbit holing:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodo
You can really see the passion the maintainer(s) have for the Dodo.

I have always thought Dodos were a lost opportunity for farm animals. I want to put in a request for the first Kentucky Fried Dodo franchise.

Exactly. Apparently it was the rats on board Dutch ships who feasted on Dodo eggs which lead to their extinction.

I get how you'd detect AI generated images, video, and voice. Being able to watermark those things at a metadata level or encode a signature into it. But I don't see any way it could possible do that for plain text that is copy/pasted.
Realistically, it would have to be just like existing plagiarism checkers, and just do a match search on text that it has generated itself (rather than searching published works or online) but that only covers stuff that ChatGPT has generated, not other ones that are yet to be made public, or self hosted GPT3 generations.

I wish some people would stop buying gas from Shell. I think a lot of people forget that shell bought dirty Russian oil

If they do make sure vitromeat tech is included so we can eat all the Dodo we want without having to kill them, again.

I don't see this going anywhere. Their case is that their website says it invests in "wind, solar, hydrogen, electric charging and more" that they've found they're misleading investors since they've only invested 2.5% of their capex on wind and solar (compared to 12% for this whole group).
But this fund isn't just for wind and solar power. It also covers electric charging stations at Shell gas stations, tidal power, geothermal power, hydrogen, blended biofuels, and hydropower.
There's really nothing misleading about what they're saying here to investors. If you read that page and thought Shell was putting 12% of its capex budget into solar... well I have a bridge to sell you.

Corporate cowardice.
Not being able to control yourself, your business, or corporation so much so that you knowingly circumvent oversight to take advantage of public and political support at the cost of continued destruction of our planet simply for bragging rights because the money gained is a mere drop in the ocean compared to their generational wealth built on such cowardly lying.
And the world bends a knee to this cowardice.

Pretty sure the company behind this only have a few desks in a WeWork office in Austin, though I could be wrong.
They seem a long long way off from from having any sort of concrete evidence that they can actually do this.

What good does it bring to kill the workers? Workers are replaced by someone else. The deceased family/friends will despise the murderers and the people will not support such " environmentalists " what good is it ?
Violence can be a useful tool, but in this instance your idea is pretty stupid.

Like manufacturing a disease and then selling medicine. Imagine they double dip, selling the subscription service to ChatGPT for $42 to the students and then selling the adversarial to universities for $100k licenses.

Believe it or not, but acts of terrorism and murder do not necessarily lead to lasting change. Working within the system that exists in order to push through environmental legislation seems like a far more meaningful approach to me.
There are plenty of environmentalists who do more than just playing the Ukulele on YouTube.

I think Dodo taste good. This is the reason for his extinction. If it will work, we will have something new on plate.
