Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl? Desi Lydic Foxsplains why that's no bueno

Trump is suing the government for $230 million. Trump runs the government. Trump's former defense lawyers now run the DOJ that has to approve the payout. Trump is "draining the swamp" … and taxpayers' money abcnews.go.com/US/trump-doj-pay-230-million-previous-investigations-sources/story

Europe should boycott the 2026 World Cup. You still have the match of the year USA vs Iran – if Trump doesn't blacklist the best players. And if Iran gets banned, call up Venezuela as replacement. Oh wait, that's a home game now.

Wonder if Peter Thiel keeps the receipt when he buys a president. Freedom City doesn't build itself – and ROI expectations stack up.

New Year's Countdown (Day 10, part 3): Best Albums of 2025 Yann Tiersen – Rathlin from a Distance / The Liquid Hour The Amélie composer's two-part album: introspective piano pieces from his 2023 sailing tour, and soundscapes inspired by gazing at Belfast lights from his sailboat at night.

New Year's Countdown (Day 10, part 2): Best Albums of 2025 The War and Treaty – Plus One Husband and wife duo recorded at legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, and sings their lungs out. Country, soul, gospel and rock.

New Year's Countdown (Day 10): Best Albums of 2025 Blaue Blume – Regnvåde sale Their first Danish-language album – and it really suits them. Jonas, Buster, and Søren are amazing songwriters and producers. Already on the first track, you sense a deep nordic sincerity, if you can imagine.

New Year's Countdown (Day 11, part 2): Best Albums of 2025 Bonobo – Lazarus (Original Soundtrack) Score for Shinichirō Watanabe's new anime, the visionary behind Cowboy Bebop. Floating Points and Kamasi Washington also contributed full soundtracks of this album

New Year's Countdown (Day 11): Best Albums of 2025 Hængemulen - Hængemulens kundeservice "Hængemulen" means someone who's moping, and this album is "an existential compassion hotline." Full disclosure: some of my best friends are in this band. But honestly!! This album is just fucking great!!!

New Year's Countdown (Day 12, part 2): Best Albums of 2025 John Glacier – Like a Ribbon Her debut album, structured in three sections mimicking a ribbon unfurling. Features Sampha and Eartheater, exec produced by Kwes Darko. Reminds me of my beloved 00's band Hood. Glitch/triphop meets hiphop.

New Year's Countdown (Day 12): Best Albums of 2025 Daughter – Middle Farm Session Recorded at the same Dartmoor studio where they made Stereo Mind Game, their first album in 7 years. Their only live performance for the record. First heard it in winter, and almost went into hibernation.

New Year’s Countdown (Day 13 part 2): Best Albums of 2025 Perfume Genius – Glory Mike Hadreas has been thinking about death – and sounds lighter than ever. Just a beautiful done album

New Year’s Countdown (Day 13): Best Albums of 2025 Jason Isbell – Foxes in the Snow Just a man and his 1940 Martin, I think. Five days at the lengendary Jimi Hendrix’ Electric Lady studio. Strong, graceful, honest. I find Isbell stripped bare, and somehow finding his way through the wreckage.

oh yeah!... Nothing says "free market capitalism" like the US government threatening trade war because a billionaire's social media platform got fined for breaking EU law. Using state power as Elon's personal customer service dept. Peak tech oligarchy hours www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

New Year's Countdown (Day 14 - 2/2): Best Albums of 2025 Geese ( @geeseband.bsky.social ) – Getting Killed 4 Brooklyn kids, ten days in LA, pure controlled chaos. Rock doesn't need saving – it needs playing like this. Garage riffs meet Ukrainian choirs. Shambolic, furious, exhilarating.

New Year's Countdown (day 14): Best Albums of 2025: Dan Mangan ( @danmangan.bsky.social ) – Natural Light Four friends, six days, a cabin in the woods. Campfire songs for a world on fire. Mangan sings love songs to a planet in crisis – with warmth, wit, and slide guitar.

What a wonderful world! Hackers are now going after open source foundations run by volunteers. Apache OpenOffice just got hit by Akira, 23GB allegedly stolen from a project with no security budget, no employees, just people who code for free. www.scworld.com/brief/apache...

Just read about the Singularity. Ray Kurzweil predicted in the 90’s chess computers, smartphones, and AI hitting human-level by 2029. Now he says we’ll merge our brains with AI and become immortal by 2045. His track record is annoyingly good so… YOLO time.com/7012871/ray-...

Just refreshed my memory about “second screen viewing” - the academic term for why I can’t remember who died in that prestige drama I “watched” while scrolling Instagram. 🙄 techcrunch.com/2018/12/12/n...

Suno: “Our AI doesn’t sample, it generates NEW sounds!” Also Suno: “We just trained it on millions of copyrighted songs first.” Totally different, guys. Totally 🤥 www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/suno-argues-...

RIP robots.txt (1994-2025) Died when AI companies discovered "please don't" isn't legally binding. ClaudeBot has a 70,900 crawls per referral, GPTBot has a 1,700:1 and Perplexity CEO: "lol, not a legal framework tho" Turns out we're all just unpaid contributors www.heise.de/en/backgroun...

Google is dead. 60% of searches now end without a single click. 80% of users already trust AI summaries in search results. Zero-click search is the new normal. Visibility must be built where answers are served in AI summaries, on social platforms, and through video. www.bain.com/insights/goo...

I love rebellion with a stand ♥️ Bands like King Gizzard, Deerhoof, Hotline TNT & Xiu Xiu are pulling out of Spotify over Daniel Ek’s defense AI, called Helsing. It’s not about royalties (they don’t get enough anyways), it’s about refusing war. www.npr.org/2025/09/09/n...

Kaj Grønbæk nails it!!! Chatcontrol isn’t just ethically flawed, it’s just technically impossible. One day of WhatsApp images = 14,583 workdays of manual checks. Instead of policing everyone, invest in investigating the truly suspicious as he says www.linkedin.com/posts/kgronb...

A hyped MIT study says ChatGPT weakens our brains. BUT!: 54 people, confounding factors, no real stakes, not peer-reviewed. Like calculators & GPS. Every tool reshapes our brains, and what matters is adapting wisely, not resisting change. www.media.mit.edu/publications...

FINALLY mmBERT proves that multilingual AI can scale beyond the “big 10 languages.” Imagine a digital world where Faroese, Greenlandic or Danish have equal access to search, knowledge and innovation. That’s not just progress — that’s blue sky-like potential in my mind huggingface.co/blog/mmbert

What a Napster moment It costs’ Anthropic $1.5B. 500k authors cash out at $3k each for pirated book data. Fair use if you buy, illegal if you steal. Painful precedent. I wonder what will happen to OpenAI and Google I’m in favour www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/t...

Wow!!! Tough times to work in customer service Salesforce just cut 4,000 costumer support roles even after strong earnings. CEO Benioff: “I need less heads.” AI now handles 1M conversations efficiency wins over human touch www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

370k private chats leaked to Google/Bing due to terrible "share" feature - passwords, medical info, illegal content all searchable Ex-engineer allegedly stole entire Grok source code, uploaded it to OpenAI servers, then sold $7M in xAI stock Talk about having a bad "grok" week 😬 #AI #Privacy #Grok

Today, Denmark hides real company owners from public view following EU Court ruling from 2022. Only lawyers, banks get access via bureaucratic hurdles. EU chose “privacy” over transparency despite ongoing money laundering scandals. Public trust requires insight into ownership.

RAG vs fine-tuning LLMs aren't the same thing. Simple difference: RAG = knowledge Fine-tuning = language Want a bot with internal company knowledge? Build RAG. Want one that speaks like your customer service? Consider fine-tuning. Start with RAG - it solves your actual problem! #AI #RAG #LLM

Denmark’s Culture Minister: “If you want to use other people’s rights, you need permission and a license - especially for AI on European level.” Finally! Tech giants train AI on stolen music, then flood us with AI slop competing against the original artists. And now with the EU presidency in mind

Copenhagen picks for September: - Agnes Obel – Koncerthuset, Sat Sep 6 - Hængemulen – Loppen, Thu Sep 11 - Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners – Pumpehuset, Tue Sep 16 - Oppidan – Hangaren, Thu Sep 25 (house/techno) - The Upbeats – Rust, Fri Sep 26 (dubstep) - Lera Lynn – Hotel Cecil, Sun Sep 28

The EU wants to scan ALL your private messages, even encrypted ones. WhatsApp, Signal… nothing is safe. They call it Chat Control. I call it a state surveillance. The next step might as well be mass surveillance. Speak up if you want to protect your privacy 👉 fightchatcontrol.eu
