Climate activist Greta Thunberg has become the latest victim of deepfakes, after a video of her appearing on the BBC in November 2022 was digitally edited to show her supporting "sustainable" war tanks and weaponry. A video was shared on Twitter/X that originated from the YouTube channel Snicklink - which posts edited video for satire - and was titled "Greta Thunberg: VEGAN WARS #satire." The video had 'SATIRE' in the bottom right hand corner. In the edited clip Thunberg seemingly says: "War is always bad, specifically for the planet. If we want to continue fighting battles like environmentally conscious humans, we must make the change to sustainable tanks and weaponry. "If you use hand grenades, please use vegan grenades. No animal should have to give their life for this mayhem and chaos. They have a special sticker on them. You really can't miss them in the grenade market, or wherever you buy them. Yeah, I cover all this and more in my new book Vegan Wars." The video which has been viewed over 3 million times according to Twitter/X has a community note attached to it letting viewers know that "Greta's mouth and her voice were deepfaked". Whilst it is fairly easy to tell the video is edited when looking close enough, or even simply noticing the massive 'SATIRE' sign in the corner, many were seemingly fooled. "This can only come from a moron in the west [with] no actual real life problems," wrote one riled up user: "Why is anybody listening to this deluded clown girl?" wrote another. The deepfake used genuine footage of the 20-year-old appearing on the BBC to promote her book The Climate Book, where she spoke about climate anxiety and her activism.

The viral internet debate turned meme over whether you would take dinner with Jay-Z or $500k in cash has finally been settled by the man himself. The rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, is one of the most successful in history and, in 2019, became the first billionaire in hip-hop. He is so successful, in fact, that he and his wife Beyonce were able to pay for a £160.5 million mansion in cash. Given his entrepreneurial experience, the debate has raged on the internet over whether you should take dinner with the mogul Jay-Z, and the opportunity to pick his brain, over half a million dollars. In a recent interview with Gayle King on CBS, Jay-Z settled the debate by urging people to take the money. “You gotta take the money,” said Jay-Z. “You got all that in the music for $10.99 – that’s a bad deal. I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal. Take the $500,000, go buy some albums and listen to the albums. It’s all there.” JAY-Z weighs in on "$500,000 in cash or lunch with JAY-Z" debate: "You've gotta take the money" www.youtube.com Jay-Z went on to explain that everything people need to know about his journey to the top is already laid out in his music. He added: “If you piece it together and really listen to the music for the words, for what it is, it’s all there. Everything I said was going to happen happened, everything I said I wanted to do I’ve done. There’s the blueprint – literally, the blueprint to me and my life and my journey is there already.” According to Forbes, New York rapper Jay-Z has a net worth of around $2.5 billion, with his business ventures outside music including a clothing line, the music streaming service Tidal, and an alcohol business.
