Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Not when the information is wrong more often than not and there are already better solutions for that so-called use case that dont use half a billion gallons of water and cities worth of electricity to also mostly generate CSA content.
Have you used any of the recent models? Or is your only impression of LLM output memes on here where the LLM is laughably wrong. LLMs are right way more often then they are wrong these days. If you don't believe me try and test it yourself, come up with some factual questions and ask opus 4.6, see if it's more wrong then right. Hell try and come up with a riddle to trip it up, even that is becoming harder with frontier models, they're not going to tell you to put glue on your pizza any more.
See this is the problem with both LLMs and the Internet, instead of putting a little research and trying to check something yourself you let the LLM / internet community do the thinking for you.
I'll give it to you that there are some valid environmental concerns, but its not nearly as big of a problem as say meat or even golf courses so if your going to direct your ire at something I'd choose those.
Mostly? This is a small use case, that is probably overblown by the community your in. Yes it exists but this is also a problem with the Internet in general. Is the Internet/LLMs used to make and distribute CSA, yes, is it most of the traffic, No. LLMs are in a sense manifestations of the Internet, with all its beauties and horrors such as CSA. Yes you can focus only on the horrors but that is a very narrow view of what it actually is and can be.
