Do you have any idea how much this country would change if, say voter turnout in November increased five percent from 2020? About 67% of eligible voters cast ballots then - and that was considered huge. Check out this piece from 2020.

"There is really no such thing as a big-city newspaper columnist anymore, but Breslin was big—he would literally call reporters on the phone to tell them, 'I’m big.'"

@strght
it's OpenAI

details below

The deal will give OpenAI access to current and archived content from News Corp's publications, including the Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, the Times and others.

The deal comes weeks after the AI heavyweight signed a deal with the Financial Times to license its content for the development of AI models.

@Vittoria this may be a red flag for me regarding #OpenAI .

"Thirty years after the era-defining 'Got Milk?' campaign—itself a project of the California Milk Processor Board—the U.S. dairy industry’s PR machine appears to be getting a second wind."

Today on Assigned, a story about SEGM in Undark sought balance, but it wasn't careful enough with the misinformation peddlers at that organization, allowing errors and misleading statements to sneak into an otherwise balanced article.

Hmm, just saw an article on Engadget citing "Business Wire reports" 🙄

(Business Wire is a wire news service, where companies pay to put out their press releases. It is not a news organization, and does not vet the press releases it sends out for companies).

@ai6yr Yeah, I would NEVER use it as a source in a story. If I found their information that compelling I'd just, dunno, talk to 'em directly.

ai6yr,

@researchbuzz Well, they could also just cite the source: the company. This is like getting a wedding invitation in the mail and saying: "Hey, look, the US Postal Service says Jill and Sam are getting married!"

Sometimes people take politics too personally, eventually resorting to violence but the question is whether violence is justified during the time of elections?

Nearly half of voters across a group of swing-states said they expect violence around the upcoming presidential election, according to a new poll.

It doesn't stop, but it gets better if we stop Trump. Then the violence is just from the sore losers. Otherwise, the violence will be ongoing and genocidal.

@ZhiZhu When the Whitehouse says "concerning", it simply means that they'll do bugger all about it, other than use a word to con the gullible.
