@aral@mastodon.ar.al It doesn't happen of itself. The public broadcaster in Norway crammed us with celebrity Eurovision news despite knowing that a majority wanted them to call off the whole thing.

@contrasocial@mastodon.social @_elena@mastodon.social @aral@mastodon.ar.al Just read that @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu vice chair and notable Russia hawk Kaja Kallas was on Peter Thiel's invitees to his "Dialog" society.

@AlSweigart It's democratization. Powerful people always had access to people who told them "you are absolutely right".
@hallvors@oslo.town jeg har jobbet med en liten liste svenske ord som høres ut som dødelige fornærmelser, deriblant rakhyvel
@lisyarus@mastodon.gamedev.place looks like it's specifically about DAGs in Pearl-style causal inference with do-calculus. Which is pretty cool actually.
@j2bryson@mastodon.social I should finish that book.
@reverend@social.undeadnetwork.de @_elena@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @aral@mastodon.ar.al I'm pretty sure many in the Commission don't want Mistral to compete. They expect Trump to go away and things to go back to "normal" and then they want to be in the US admin's good graces.
@kibcol1049@mstdn.social I'm pretty sure I read about that on hacker news, and also that it was a lot longer than a week ago?
Checked and yes, it was 20 days ago and it was immediately vandalized with hate-bait.
One way to view AI-induced psychosis, is that it's just regular people getting access to the kind of sycophancy powerful people always had.
@susankayequinn@wandering.shop I guess some of it, at a certain time of the day, probably travels through the Strait of Hormuz. But not enough to matter.
@mattblaze@federate.social @kims@mas.to but still "you can end the beating at any time" by agreeing to the demands. I'm even angry at media for repeating this brazen propaganda line uncritically.
If you are a billionaire and famously present in the Epstein files, maybe you're not the ideal person to release a ton of genetically engineered mosquitoes, even if releasing a ton of genetically engineered mosquitoes is a good idea.
@lisyarus@mastodon.gamedev.place Accidental marsh!
Wait, a shoe retailer called Allbirds?

I suspect the usual "own the libs by making them mad" trick is not going to work as desired on the pope.

Grokipedia has lots of stuff on the South Sami presence in the area, written withfairly "progressive" terms even (e.g. colonialism). It's sourced a bit clumsily, but seems reasonably accurate, and the sources are interesting in themselves.
Could it be that AI-written wikipedias isn't such a bad idea? It can be very revealing for the model of the world which the language model has built - sometimes even in a positive way.
Toilet paper Luigi and the thousand yard stare.
Sorry, I just had to make that joke somewhere.
@mhoye@cosocial.ca If I would have a Timothy Snyder-style list of lessons, the first should be "Powerful people believe all the stupid things regular people believe." But since they're powerful, they have little need of convincing you. On the contrary, they often think their stupid beliefs are their secret edge.
Kjære NRK-journalist, det er et objektivt faktum at Trump truer med krigsforbrytelser. Så du trenger ikke vanne det ut med at "Iran hevder at" han truer med det.

@rbreich@masto.ai Many good reasons to boycott Spotify, but payment per stream is not one of them. They give the same 70% of total subscription fees to rights owners as other streaming services. If they pay less per stream, that's just because they have fewer passive subscribers.
@apLundell@timeloop.cafe ah, so you're well past 40 too?
@apLundell@timeloop.cafe surely there is some Argonauts-themed JavaScript framework by now?

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social The curve balls the universe can throw at you are infinite. An old essay by @interfluidity@zirk.us I keep coming back to https://www.interfluidity.com/page/19?MobileOptOut=1
"Hedersprisen Årets Peer Gynt går til en person eller institusjon som har markert seg på en positiv måte og gjort Norge mer kjent i utlandet". Har de LEST Peer Gynt??
"Stortinget avgjør hvem som blir årets Peer Gynt". Send meg til et galehus i Kairo...
Det er så mange ting folk forventer av deg når du er seriøs moderne norsk forfatter.
Som for eksempel?
Vel, altså.
Å skrive dialoger uten tilstrekkelig tegnsetting?
Ja, akkurat, sa han.
From a reddit technology thread: "AI is basically perfectly designed to jailbreak CEO and investor brains." Couldn't agree more.
Det er bra at de er kritiske, men har NRK / Marit Balsvik Winge virkelig aldri hørt om vanity publishing-svindel?

OK, nå har jeg prøvd durian. Det ser ut til at jeg er mer eller mindre immun mot lukta. Smakte skikkelig godt også. Min sønn derimot, kunne lukte den fra verandaen på andre siden av huset og var ikke en fan.

For five years, I've searched every spring for these. Finally! (with some help from the local foraging society)

AI-generert barnebok observert på Ark :/
Ufrivillig avslørende om ortoreksien som ligger bak begrepet "ultraprosessert". Alle vanlige pålegg er ultraprosesserte i følge nrk - unntatt røkt fisk. (Røkt mat inneholder benzopyrener, noen av de få stoffene vi vet *hvordan* kan forårsake kreft, og som aldri ville vært lov som tilsetningsstoff - men det er "naturlig" og da er det greit for NRKs journalist)

It's not enough to be rich and privileged, the goal is apparently to be able to gloat in your impunity. Little Epsteins.

@theintercept@journa.host Maybe private organizations paying people to infiltrate other organizations isn't a great thing, even if some people want to sponsor such activity.

@peterjriley2024@mastodon.social @rbreich@masto.ai inheritance works equally well whether imperialism was involved in your parents getting rich or not. Also, monopoly (PayPal) did the heavy lifting for Musk - it usually does.
