- @emilymbender@dair-community.socialWaPo: Detailed reporting about how "AI" is contributing to the climate crisis, including delaying the decommissioning of coal-fueled power plants. Also WaPo: Let's set up a chatbot to provide possibly false summaries of our articles on the climate crisis! Also, psst, Axios: chatbots don't "feel" anything. Please avoid anthropomorphizing language in your reporting.
