News organizations have been trained in recent years to try to appear unbiased by including partisan, low quality polls in their averages. That's how the NY Times ends up with 41% avg. support for the Iran war today. Editorial decisions about how much to bow to dictators' will end up costing lives.
I honestly don't know who makes up stuff more: Chatgpt or Trump. But the combination of dishonest politicians and AI who will make up any answer to look polished is such a crappy zeitgeist for 2026.
It’s ok to go back now, Roseanne Barr, the president of the United States posted a video of Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys.
By firing an opponent of chatgpt becoming smut and accusing her of sexual discrimination, Altman’s company emulates the ”accussation in a mirror” tactics of totalitarian regimes- portraying your opponent as morally corrupt to confuse public perception and delegitimize genuine criticism.
Found this old map of the Otaniemi area where my university, Aalto, is now located.
