✅ Meta tester faktatjek på Threads

Fra Social Media Today:

While it doesn’t par­tic­u­lar­ly want polit­i­cal dis­cus­sion on Threads, Meta also knows that it’s going to hap­pen either way, which is why it’s now expand­ing its fact-checks to Threads as well, with the first fact-check alerts spot­ted in-stream late last week.

✨ IAB præsenterer bud på ny metode til måling af podcasts

Fra hes­tens mund:

As the pod­cast­ing land­scape con­tin­ues to evolve, the need for enhanced met­rics and improved fil­ter­ing log­ic in serv­er-side mea­sure­ment becomes cru­cial.

The pri­ma­ry objec­tive of the Pod­cast Tech­ni­cal Mea­sure­ment Guide­lines v2.2 is to address the chal­lenges faced in mea­sur­ing down­loads of the pod­cast audio file, where client-side con­fir­ma­tion of ad play is typ­i­cal­ly unavail­able from the play­er apps that con­sumers use for lis­ten­ing to their favorite shows.

This serv­er-side mea­sure­ment guid­ance pub­lished by IAB Tech Lab is unique in the indus­try, set­ting the gold stan­dard for reli­able and trans­par­ent pod­cast mea­sure­ment.

🤔 NYTimes-udgiver: Vi bør tænke større

Fra Reuters Insti­tute:

I’d say that our indus­try is still think­ing too small, and I think that’s fair: we've been absolute­ly bat­tered for 20 years. But I think our indus­try needs to think big­ger. [...]

We are still many fac­tors small­er than those play­ers. I don’t think that our indus­try can or should accept that we are going to col­lec­tive­ly be small­er than an eighth-grade stream­er.

Google Chrome is get­ting a new AI writ­ing gen­er­a­tor today.

The com­pa­ny first announced this new tool in Jan­u­ary and it remains in its “exper­i­men­tal” phase, mean­ing you must explic­it­ly enable it.

😬 Microsofts Copilot opfinder Putin-citater

Fra Sher­wood Media:

The prob­lem is, there was no "offi­cial address." There was no state­ment. Putin has not said any­thing in the wake of the activist's demise. In one response, the assis­tant told us that Putin denied respon­si­bil­i­ty for Navalny's death and instead lobbed crit­i­cism at Biden

📹 Når AI kan lave video, hvad er video så?

Fra The New York­er:

Inevitably, the mean­ing of video as a medi­um will change. Maybe we’ll start sus­pect­ing all videos of being syn­the­sized, and stop trust­ing them. We may some­times choose to not make a dis­tinc­tion between the syn­thet­ic and the untrue.

🔎 Vil folk overhovedet have AI-søgemaskiner?

Fra Fast Com­pa­ny:

Curi­ous­ly, though, at no point amid our cur­rent AI arms race have the com­pa­nies stuff­ing AI into our search engines and browsers offered any guid­ance as to what hap­pens to the web if this tru­ly is the future of the way we find things online. And it may be the best evi­dence yet that the AI indus­try is still com­plete­ly engulfed in hype.

😲 Undersøgelse: AI-propaganda virker

Fra Plat­former:

While we hear a lot of con­cerns about how gen­er­a­tive arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence might dis­rupt elec­tions, so far we’ve seen lit­tle evi­dence of how effec­tive chat­bot-gen­er­at­ed pro­pa­gan­da is at influ­enc­ing real peo­ple. Today, let’s talk about a new study that sug­gests that AI influ­ence cam­paigns can work — and exam­ine how plat­forms are respond­ing to the threat so far.

The enjoy­ment less­ened some­what for old­er respon­dents whose sight and hear­ing had dete­ri­o­rat­ed. Those who found VR less enjoy­able were also more like­ly to dis­like tech­nol­o­gy in gen­er­al.
