Helping students deal with disinformation & AI-generated slop is yet another thing that schools are now being asked to tackle. Listen to this new interview with information studies expert @olofsundin.bsky.social about what 'disinformation literacy' might look like: www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...

$4 million funding to Princeton University's climate research ended because:
- "climate scenarios fosters fear rather than rational, balanced discussion"
- analysis of climate impacts on water availability "perpetuate […] narratives [that] does not align with the priorities of this Administration"

For @thebulwark.bsky.social, I wrote about why I decided to testify before Congress on the censorship lie.

This hearing had everything:
-sexism
-references to Goebbels
-posthumous rehabilitation of McCarthy

In other words, another day in today’s GOP 🫠

They’re even eager to namedrop Goebbels—but they blithely ignore the urgent First Amendment threats posed by Trump.

I am on my way to an expert meeting in Geneva on mis- and disinformation to talk about "The crisis of information" and I seriously don't know how to frame this anymore, other than we are beyond crisis, it's now a catastrophe👇

Latest Trump cabinet pick is Chris Wright for Energy Secretary, an oil executive. He has:

-Described net zero as "sinister."
-Last year said: “There is no climate crisis and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either.”
-Claimed we've seen no increase in extreme weather events.

Ny bok på svenska (tänkt som kursbok) just från trycket. Vad kan källkritik göra när ”Samtiden präglas av sociala mediers flöden, algoritmernas enorma makt och samtidigt osynlighet, och en framväxande generativ AI:s kapacitet att sprida lögner, påhittade historier och videor”.

Testa Kagia.com som har en helt annan affärsmodell och som bygger på prenumeration. Men man kan få en gratis testperiod. Tror att mer eller mindre alla experimenterar med AI på olika sätt

Redan är detta långt ner i nyhetsvärderingen och JÅ ges sista ordet. Ledsamt att det inte ens förvånar.
