I really appreciate Miss Paris being someone to speak on “regular” consumer use cases when it comes to all this AI mess. Most of the content out there about AI these days annoys me as it seems like the tools still need to have a clothes hanger and aluminum foil on it to be remotely useful. 😆 Any non tech people y’all know find any AI tools useful? In my opinion, the bigger story is how AI video or images continue to fool most of us. So gullible. ☹ ---

I thought the discussion on whether the Washington Post should endorse a candidate or not was crazy. I was always brought up in Europe with the thought that the media should be neutral and not endorse any political spectrum. For me, it would be incredibly out of place for a renowned paper to endorse a candidate. The “rags” in the UK used to pick sides, but the serious papers never did. They might be biased one way or another, but they never openly endorsed one candidate over the other. TV is even more strict, here, in Germany, each party gets the same amount of prime-time coverage and each party is, generally, equally lambasted or praised, when they make mistakes or do something sensible. It was the same in the UK, there were no TV ads, as such, for political parties, but each party got the same prime-time slot to give a “message” to the public (a five or 10 minute slot in the early evening, one party per day) and that was about the limit of TV “advertising”. ---

Leo you really do need to try a McFlurry. Also I loved Foursquare. But once it chaged to Swarm I kind of lost interest in the check-in system. I loved the Foursquare colours, I remember when their Android app was so terrible I was carrying around an iPod Touch (2012!) in my pocket to tether to my Galaxy Nexus for check-ins and whatnot. I have a lot of memories as a kid with my iPod touch when on vacation with my parents, we’d always be in new places so I had so much fun checking in and posting it to my Twitter. Ahh… nostalgia ---

I don’t think any news source should publicly endorse a govt candidate. But heck I also assume news sources would just present the news and facts. . . . ---

Changing here now, with ‘US-style’ news channels appearing. One of them has just been fined £100k by the regulator for airing a ‘largely uncontested’ platform for the Conservative PM to talk for an hour during the run-up to the general election. Of course, the TV channel claims this is a ‘direct attack on free speech and journalism’. Most of the newspapers backed a party too. ---

Foursquare was popular back in the days of my first job. A coworker and myself were always in a heat over being the mayor of the shoe store we worked at.
