Great experience to have had a PhD seminar at the @helsinki.fi Main Building and at the same time when president #Zelenskyi was having the hotline open to the Oval Office from another room. I bet we had better discussions on @eliskarell.bsky.social's paper on #AI, #bigtech and #sustainability!

Today Jeff Bezos moved the Washington Post's opinion pages into a space where the Wall Street Journal operates. Arguments for other founding principles will not be welcome, he said.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce how the Elon Musk’s Election Interference Machine™ (EIM) works. Since Musk and his broligarch allies won the presidency for Trump, they’ve now harnessed the machine to interfere in European elections, including the ones in Germany and Romania. 1/23

Oon miettinyt journalismia ja sen tulevaisuutta. Irtisanomisuhka pistää kelailemaan asioita. Tulevien viikkojen aikana Yleltä lähtee paljon journalisteja. Minne? (1/X)

Fresh from the (online) press! The article argues that the YouTube podcasting sphere is highly US-influenced, and the unproportionate claims for truthful, authentic, and balanced accounts in contrast to legacy media signal a need for podcasting ethics www.cogitatiopress.com/mediaandcomm...
