Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

this really is wild they just asked Meta AI chatbot support for access to high profile accounts and it obliged comes after Google complete broke its search results these are not serious, capable companies deserving of professional respect. they rushed shit product to market.

Mitä tekoäly tarkoittaa riippumattomalle, toimittajien omistamalle medialle, jonka menestys nojaa yleisön luottamukseen? Julkaisimme tänään tekoälyperiaatteemme. www.longplay.fi/lyhyet/long-...

One of the things that makes me the most fearful for the health of our democracy is this bizarre behavior by the press in twisting stories to make Trump's activities fit within normal frameworks that are completely inappropriate for the circumstances.

again, staying completely silent on the actual merits of ai, the initial ai boosters basically campaigned on "this will eliminate your job, forever, and make me personally rich." it should not surprise *anyone* that this provoked a backlash.

the overwhelming message the AI industry has sent to young people is “this will ruin any chance you have at a stable career”, of course college grads are booing it regardless of the reality of the claims, the way this technology has been sold is one of the greatest self-inflicted PR disasters ever

Oli harhadrooni Uudellamaalla todellinen tahi ei, pelkkä uhka on itse asiassa hyvä uutinen: se kertoo, miten hyvin Ukrainalla sodassa menee ja että Venäjä on häviämässä

Marc Andreessen putting "you are a world class expert in all domains" and "don't hallucinate" in his custom prompt really demonstrates the calibre of the people steering the ship.

Every journalist on earth is just a foot soldier in a weird psychosexual argument between six rich people at an orgy.

the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

The Palentir statement on its desired “Technological Republic” is one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!

USA:ssa julkinen mielipide on jo kääntynyt datakeskuksia vastaan, ja useassa osavaltiossa aiotaan kieltää keskusten rakentaminen kokonaan (Maine ensimmäisenä). Jos rakentaminen alkaa Suomessa rikkoa sähkömarkkinoita, näen jo, miten datakeskuksia aletaan vandalisoimaan ja tuikkaamaan tuleen

Asiat sujuvat kertakaikkisen mallikkaasti

”Ei klikkiotsikoita”, väittää HS mutta julkaisee kuitenkin tällaista esillepanoa. Anthropicin väitteet Mythoksen vaarallisuudesta on ehditty kumota viikon sisällä jo moneen kertaan preview-version perusteella. Malli on hieman edellisiä parempi, siinä se. Mutta Piilaakson pr menee näemmä aina läpi

Kommentit tähän kertoo tietynlaisen talousoikeistolaisuuden hegemoniasta Taloustieteilijöiden oikeistolaisuus on looginen seuraus "talouden ymmärtämisestä" Mutta muiden ihmistieteilijöiden vasemmistolaisuus ei oo seurausta "yhteiskunnan ymmärtämisestä" Vaan ongelma tai jotenkin epäilyttävää

The median European "just shut the fuck up and fix the roads" voter is an underestimated force

More than anything, today’s result in Hungary is a reminder that much of the public discourse is wildly overstating the strength of authoritarianism (F-word) and the weakness of democracy.

‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Plot That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’

:sobbing: the taxation of trade routes is in dispute ::

Presenting the reopening the Strait of Hormuz as a victory is like the Greeks failing to take Troy but celebrating the safe return of their wooden horse

Putin and Orban coordinating on a desperate false flag operation that everyone knew was coming.

When I told him about The New Yorker's very human fact-checking process, he crowed that "a lot of that is going to go away." To which I said, NO, AI means we need MORE fact-checking, because AI has flooded the web with bullshit. It certainly can't be trusted to fact-check itself, or anything. /

Ei Italia pudonnut miesten jalkapallon lopputurnauksesta, vaan se boikotoi Trumpin alaisia kisoja. Suomi oli tässäkin edelläkävijä

Juhlapuheissa ihminen tarkistaa tekoälyn tuotokset, todellisuudessa ne tuutataan tarkistamatta julki, tai tarkistaminen tarkoittaa parin pisteen paikan muuttamista. Mutta suurin riski tekoälyssä on mediapomojen mielestä varmasti yhä se, että jäädään kehityksestä jälkeen…

Ja ehdoton suosikkini Long Playn tämän aamun kulttuuriuutiskirjeestä. @longplay.fi @torvinenp.bsky.social

Look. It works 1. as a star wars, empire, palpatine joke itself. 2. A joke regarding trumps bs 3. As a future use meme in any, all curtis yarvin or monarchist situations @lastpositivist.bsky.social, i seek validation of a lol. What say you, my liege. 👍👎

This is obviously AI generated, and a good reminder why @WarMonitors is an awful account to follow for accurate information, yet somehow has 1.3 million followers, including journalists.

Pitäisikö Elokuvasäätiön tukea vain ”varmoja” yleisöhittejä ja sitä kautta elokuvateatterien toimintaa? Vai pitäisikö tuen suuntautua uuteen ja kiinnostavaan? Tilanne on muuttunut menneestä: taiteellinen puoli on yhä useammin myös kannattavaa liiketoimintaa. www.longplay.fi/kulttuuri/en...

Marjorie “Jewish Space Lasers” Taylor Greene is a “hard-line Christian conservative”, according to BBC. 🤡

a number of thoughts here: - oh my god he admit it - what happened to the reactionary group chat?! - commonality here is that none of these inputs will offend their sensibilities by challenging their worldview one bit - i expect a full pivot from this class to 'filter bubbles are great, actually'

”We have a data economy that thrives on selling products we don’t need for problems we don’t have, and a public that falls for these ploys—even as we think ourselves much too clever to be fooled.”

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

Even if you call out the lies it doesn't matter, because any of the institutions responsible for any sort of accountability are completely worthless, so there's no cost to lying.

I'm working on a book proposal at the moment, the core thesis of which is "Democracy fails not when lies spread, but when verified reality can no longer alter incentive structures." and we're seeing it happen in real time. Which is good for the book, but bad for democracy.

Excellent critique of the media’s normalization of the far right.

Normalizing assassinations of heads of state/government is not a particularly wise thing to do for the stronger hegemon facing asymmetric conflicts.

Hyvä juttu @longplay.fi ltä kustannustoimittajista. Tällaista kulttuuri*journalismia* toivoisin isoilta toimituksilta lisää höttöisten puffien sijaan. www.longplay.fi/kulttuuri/ne...

The AI-induced RAMmageddon is taking the established tech we actually want—TVs, PCs, phones—all so the likes of Elon Musk can power their little deepfake porn generators.

Long Playn kulttuurissa tällä viikolla Sandra Hüllerin haastattelu Berliinin elokuvajuhlilta. Hüller on Euroopan tärkeimpiä näyttelijöitä, Anu Silfverbergin sanoin ylivoimainen uudessa Rose-elokuvassa.

Tällä viikolla Long Playn kulttuurissa tällaista! Tämä toki vain yhden sarjakuva-asiantuntijan listaus, josta saa ja voi pitää olla eri mieltä.

Absolutely fascinating (and rather concerning): just spoke to some classic educated German middle class boomers - the ones who still read the newspaper and listen to public broadcast radio - and they had NEVER HEARD THAT AI HALLUCINATES!! Like, they didn’t even know the concept 🤯

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

Pörssisähkön kova hinta Suomessa helmikuussa 2026: Epsteinin syytä

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
