A weaponized AI chatbot is flooding city councils with climate misinformation
Internal instructions accessed by Canada’s National Observer show that the chatbot produces tailored scripts, petitions, reports and even speeches for council chambers. The messaging is all framed to resonate with municipal officials’ duty to represent local interests. The chatbot drops the cost of misinformation to "close to zero."

Slow progress the last couple days because I've been going into the office for work and the commute is eating up my time I'd otherwise spend on such things.
But now it's the weekend and the switch engine board is coming together nicely.
Still have 514 nets to route - mostly the supervisor, line card management buses, and power supply but also some other odds and ends like the FPGA JTAG and part of the SPI flash.
Also I have to get the tach/PWM signals from the m…

I would say I'm sorry for flooding the timeline with cats (but that would be a lie) :ablobcatblink:

If you're trying to do the trick that was shared for #nintendoswitch2 where you can use a USB HDMI capture dongle HDMI to USB-C cable to use your iPhone as a camera - don't use the True Visage app mentioned in the video
That will rely on screen sharing mirroring and you'll potentially get an aspect ratio mismatch and see the dynamic island floating in your view
I'd personally suggest the free "Blackmagic Camera" app instead, and then go to:
Settings->Monitor->HDMI Out
Switch from Mirror Display to Video Feed and it will cleanly output your camera. Works for a Lightning to HDMI out adapter for older phones, too
Then just tap on Lense and FPS and pick which combo you like.
Also, if you're not getting any output signal make sure the capture dongle you're using supports 1080p out - not sure the Switch 2 supports anything higher as camera input

A dedicated tab works, but when the UI switches tabs, it can get confusing
