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

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 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.

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.

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.
