NiemanLab: “Flexicles,” story alert systems, and other ways AI will serve publishers, reporters, and readers

NiemanLab: “Flexicles,” story alert systems, and other ways AI will serve publishers, reporters, and readers . “Understanding artificial intelligence has become an essential skill for a media leader. That isn’t simply because you need to determine whether to allow scraping of your website, whether to sue for copyright, or if you should do a deal with a company like OpenAI. It’s also because you need to figure out which aspects of AI you’ll use in the service of impactful journalism and audience engagement. AI will reshape the media landscape, and the organizations that use it creatively will thrive.”

Tubefilter: Kai Cenat invokes ‘Rush Hour’ with action-comedy film ‘Global Pursuit’

Tubefilter: Kai Cenat invokes ‘Rush Hour’ with action-comedy film ‘Global Pursuit’. “Global Pursuit features solid production values, dozens of crew members, and cameo appearances — even though it was filmed in just three days, according to its star. Cenat met Global Pursuit co-star Ray H during a trip to Japan, and the pair became fast friends. They soon embarked on a filmmaking project together. The trailer for Global Pursuit hit Cenat’s YouTube channel on August 23, and the full 17-minute film dropped two days later.” I watched this and it was quite good. I found Mr. Cenat more compelling than Chris Tucker.

Washington Post: Google’s AI ambassador walks a fine line between hype and doom. “Amid the excited hype about artificial intelligence at Google’s annual developer conference in May, it fell to James Manyika, the company’s new head of ‘tech and society,’ to talk about the downsides of AI. Before thousands of people packed into an outdoor arena, Manyika discussed the scourge of fake images and how AI echoes society’s racism and sexism. New problems will emerge, he warned, as the tech improves. But rest assured that Google is taking ‘a responsible approach to AI,’ he told the crowd.”

Washington Post: Loneliness is taking friend-making apps mainstream

Washington Post: Loneliness is taking friend-making apps mainstream. “While online dating took over its analog predecessor as the most common way romantic couples meet, online friend-making has received relatively little attention. Now, post-pandemic loneliness is driving young adults like Walton to look for friends more intentionally and, for many, that means turning to the internet.”
