“Political consultants like to imagine that the public makes clear distinctions between issues: ‘kitchen table’ versus democracy versus corruption. In reality #publicopinion is much more of a gestalt in which bad or good feelings on different issues merge.” open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

North Carolina State University: How Parents and Kids Really Feel About AI-Generated Images in Children’s Books. “A new study finds that while some parents are opposed to the use of AI-generated images in children’s stories, most are willing to accept these images if the text is human-authored and the images have been reviewed by educators, librarians or other experts. However, depending on […]

The Register: AI pilots keep crashing, mostly because firms skip the prep, survey finds. “It is the best of AI times; it is the worst of AI times, depending on whom you ask. Nearly a third of firms are seeing almost total failure of their AI proof-of-concept (PoC) projects, while 46 percent are successfully moving more than 10 percent of theirs into operational use.”

A new poll shows Republican voters are losing confidence in Trump’s ability to govern, with approval dropping to just 36%, near his lowest ever. Amid the longest government shutdown, dissatisfaction grows, and efforts by Trump allies like Mike Johnson to shift blame to Democrats have largely failed, backfiring as over half of Americans now see Republicans as responsible. Independents’ support has plummeted from 38% to 25%. The poll underscores a shifting political landscape—hardly a boost for Trump’s 2024 bid. Will these declines reshape GOP strategies?

NiemanLab: Audiences doubt the benefits of AI-generated imagery in news are worth the risks, new study finds. “By and large, the focus groups voiced concerns about new organizations adopting image generators, and expressed more general anxieties about its downstream effects.”

NiemanLab: Journalists are souring on social media platforms, an analysis of 11 years of Nieman Lab predictions suggests. “While these predictions suggest that the journalistic community’s enthusiasm for social media platforms has waned over time, there has been no such change in the perceptions of the people actually using these platforms — the audience.”

San Francisco Chronicle: How a cat named KitKat became San Francisco’s latest symbol of anti-tech rage. “Eight days had passed since the death of Kitkat, a 9-year-old tabby struck and killed by a Waymo at this very site, in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District. Grief over the incident had transformed into palpable rage as mourners, and city leaders, shifted their focus to the […]

Hurray!
Fela sang a song, "double wahala for deadi bodi, and the owner of deadi bodi."

Villagers claimed that western militaries are used to coming in the middle of the night to drop weapons for their agents to sustain the ongoing destabilisation.

Happy to learn that they are formalising it and now coming in the daytime under another premise, going forward.

Hello Venezuela,
Hello South Africa,
Hello Haiti,
Hello Panama,
Hello Polynesian countries,
How is it going there?

A quotation from Mark Twain

Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catch-phrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn’t. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country — hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Essay (1909 ca.), Papers of the Adams Family, ch. 6 “Two Fragments from a Suppressed Book Called ‘Glances at History’ or ‘Outlines of History'”

Mashable: bbno$ says ‘F*CK AI’ — and he’s putting his money where his mouth is. “When a fan recently posted on X, ‘bbno$ is my favorite rapper why does he have to be so mean to AI artists? 🥺🥺,’ the Canadian musician didn’t offer a gentle explanation. Instead, he fired back with a simple, unambiguous response: ‘FUCK AI.'”
