”A whole civilisation will die tonight”

Just like that, a casual quip, threatening to wipe out 93 million people. https://t.co/Tt7eVR5CO5

Tämä pimeä ja salaperäinen menneisyys oli se, että hän työskenteli arkkitehtina.

Hesarin mukaan kyseessä oli tekoälyn tekemä virhe.

Kiire ja huolimattomuus joka siitä väistämättä seuraa, yhdistettynä tekoälyn käyttöön kriittisen tärkeässä (vieraan vallan isku maahan) journalismissa.

Tässä on isomman keskustelun paikka. En tosin pidätä hengitystäni.

[Petri Burtsoff - pburtsoff.bsky.social @pburtsoff]

Journalismilla on Suomessa ihan liian kiire.

Nyt Hesari uutisoi kiireessä, että droonit olivat venäläisiä vaikka ne olivat ukrainalaisia.

Miksi on tärkeämpää olla nopea kuin oikeassa?

Tällaiset vahingot nakertavat jo valmiiksi heikkenevää luottamusta perinteiseen mediaan.

Heartbreaking.

[Churchill MGᵀᴹ 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇸 @ChurchillFella]

Ukrainian volunteers evacuating civilians while Russian terrorists trying to hunt them down with drones.
Just look in the eyes of the scared little girl. Heartbreaking.
Never forget. Never forgive.

Hard to believe this isn't a Monty Python sketch

[Bruno Tertrais @BrunoTertrais]

The moral depravation of this administration is beyond repair

Dubai sold the world a skyline. Today tourists in Dubai are filming missile interceptions from the beach instead of sunsets.

Every video shared is a tourism brochure burning in real time.

You cannot sell safety at 2,000 dollars a night when your guests are watching air defense systems work from their 5 star hotel

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

[Monocle Radio @Monocle_Radio]

I am allowed to destroy a country. I am even allowed to impose a destructive embargo on a foreign country. I can do whatever I want – Trump.

Trump is completely insane.

“Trump’s megalomania is transforming the United States from international leader into international pariah, and the American people will suffer the consequences for years to come,” Robert Kagan argues. https://t.co/qXwnIkTkYH

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

In any other time or presidency, this story. reported by @WSJ, would be an earthquake of a scandal.
The size, scope and implications of it are unprecedented and mind-boggling.
But will this Congress, which brayed endlessly about the "Biden crime family," probe it?
Not a chance.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

It is difficult to describe what kind of morally depraved, malignantly narcissistic mindset you have to have to only ‘feel bad’ for dead people based on whether their parents voted for you.

He may be the worst person to ever feature in American public life.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

It remains incomprehensible to me that any country still considering itself civilized allows federal officers to appear:
1. Masked;
2. Armed;
3. Without name tags;
4. Without any accountability.
ICE belongs to military dictatorships. Has Trump already brought the US there?
Sad.
