  1. Ahhh, so the Jacob Coxon AI-doomsday tweet was a marketing astroturf campaign.

  6. yourvoicedecides.com ist eine Website von Philip Morris, mit der eine EU-Konsultation über die künftigen Regeln für Tabakprodukte (ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r) manipuliert werden soll.
    In der Website muss man ein paar Fragen beantworten und einen eigenen Kommentar schreiben, und dann generiert eine KI daraus einen Text, den man dann an die EU schicken kann. Ich fand das Resultat nicht sehr überzeugend — typisches KI-Kauderwelsch eben — aber es wird den Leuten, die das Ganze lesen müssen, zusätzlichen Aufwand bereiten.

    Hier sind noch zwei Artikel über die Angelegenheit (beide auf Niederländisch):
    tabaknee.nl/nieuws/item/3508-i
    rookvrijegeneratie.nl/artikele

    (Warum es nur Artikel auf Niederländisch gibt, ist mir nicht klar, aber vielleicht liegt es daran, dass in den Niederlanden Ärzte und Krankenkassen protestiert haben.)

  7. #PlasticPatrol: the #CitizenScientists tackling #litter in #Australian #waterways

    #Plastics make up the majority of litter across the country. In the absence of regulation, the public are taking matters into their own hands

    by James Norman, Fri 30 Jan 2026

    "Neil Blake weighs a paper bag of fake grass fragments he has collected from a stormwater gutter near #DarebinCreek in #Melbourne’s north.

    "Over the past three years Blake has conducted 56 collections of synthetic turf in the waterway alongside the KP Hardiman Reserve hockey pitch.

    " 'I noticed that a local hockey pitch was being replaced and the plastic surface was running off into the local environment,' he says. Strong northerly winds and #LeafBlowers had helped shed the turf fragments into the local #environment.

    "In addition to impacts on #AquaticEcosystems, scientific analysis suggests #PlasticPollution is exacerbating #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss and #OceanAcidification.

    "Australians produce more than 3m tonnes of plastic waste each year, and according to Clean Up’s annual survey of parks, beaches, creeks and other public spaces, plastics make up more than 80% of litter across the country. A review by the New South Wales chief scientist found that one #SyntheticTurf field could transport between 10kg and 100kg of plastic fragments into the #stormwater system or local waterways.

    "Blake has taken advantage of the electronic scales provided by the newly opened community science laboratory in the Port Phillip #EcoCentre in #StKilda, to quantify his samples to present to the local council and the Environment Protection Authority. The lab hosts facilities including microscopes, measuring equipment, safety gear and access to advice from trained scientists.

    "It’s one example of citizen scientists tackling the growing problem of plastics in #waterways, including #beaches, #rivers and dive sites around the country."

    This cynical, shameful & wholly misleading £500K tax-payer funded #Astroturf campaign that’s gone done like a cup of cold sick shows how this Govt is desperately trying to mislead public opinion on #Encryption.

  10. What role did the #WorldsFair play in serving the interests of #corporatists in the 60s and 70s. Why might the #globalist cabal work to revive a so-called #WorldsFair2p0?

    Skip to Episode 03 of #TheCenturyOfTheSelf (2002, Adam Curtis):

    Far from being a "grassroots" movement, you'll quickly see why the #stenographers of power like #CameronWiess are again lobbying for an opportunity to showcase #corporations and their #technoFixes.
