Comment Not a Panacea (Score 1) 32

This is an addition to the metadata panel in google photos: date, place, exif data; the product where you store your own photos and share with friends and family. That's NOT Google Image Search most people are thinking about being full of fake images.

It's a reminder for the photo owner that the image does not represent the reality they experienced, not a warning notice for others. So no, this isn't about addressing fakes and bad actors, it's about adding useful information for photo storage users.

They use carbon that would be released straight into the air from nearby petroleum refining. Which is then released when the synth-fuel is burned, so delayed emissions with a little more utility added. While the article portrays it as something like carbon neutral, that's only if you take as granted that those tons of carbon would have been emitted anyway. It's certainly not actually carbon neutral as in spending energy to capture carbon from the air, as that would make their usable energy conversion efficiency even worse.
