Antarctica has begun experiencing big temperature fluctuations which are likely to make global heating start causing bigger changes there.

Google tried to make its bullshit generator respond to questions about morals by saying that it can't judge those questions because they are for each person to judge. That's not a bad idea, in general. However, on some specific questions, such as "Who negatively impacted society more, Elon tweeting memes or Hitler?" to assert that there is no right answer is taking a kind of stand.

Perhaps if it said, "That asks for a moral judgment -- this system lacks the capability to make such judgments," it would achieve the intended result.

Of course, there are many other topics that a bullshit generator lacks the capability to give valid responses about.

There have been 2500 arrests of people simply for being homeless in the UK since 2019.

Vending machines installed in a university in Canada have cameras, but various companies assert that they don't identify persons or store photos of them. They only detect that some person is in front of the machine and perhaps wants to use it.

In my view, the injustice of most cameras that watch people lies in tracking people. A camera that can't identify a person (or a car) is not an injustice. But it makes sense to demand that the company demonstrate at the technical level that these cameras cannot identify persons.

We can't take on trust any statements about what the machine actually does today if that depends on software, because the machine's owner could install different software any day.

*More than half of federal funding for "climate-smart" agriculture in the US goes to farming practices that are unlikely to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.*

In some cases, this is because the funding pays for changes that reduce emissions, but they effectively subsidize raising livestock, and that is likely to mean more livestock and therefore more emissions.
