Good heavens. That case about Apple suing the bloggers (or well, actually, are they bloggers? Isn’t it an online zine?) is the top story in Dagbladet right now.
That’s kind of weird. Not that it’s old news, but that it’s top story. Maybe they figure the only people reading the online version of a tabloid after midnight are, well, bloggers or geeks, so better please em.

At last week’s AI STORIES workshop, Gabriele de Seta led a workshop exploring Butterflies.ai, a social media platform where all the users are AIs. Gathering a group of researchers in a room for a few hours to explore and discuss a specific genAI platform turns out to be a really […]
When I studied literature we mostly read the classics. Great literature, the canon. But that’s not necessarily what most people actually read. What if instead of comparing AI-generated literature to the literary canon, we tried comparing it to super popular and commercial forms of literature instead? Like the folkebøker that […]
Synthetic media is a current popular term for AI-generated videos, texts and images. I think the first use was only a few years ago in 2018, but I couldn’t find an overview of its use so thought I’d cobble one together here, mostly because I like Elena Pilipets and her […]
OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 (USD) a month for an AI agent that can do “PhD level research”. Maybe all the PhDs and postdocs recently fired by DOGE should band together and sell their services as “AI agents” – apparently some people will pay more for robots than people. At […]

In 2022 I learned about FAIR data, the movement to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]

I like the “news for nerds after midnight” theory. I’ve noticed some front pages that would suggest there may be a policy of that kind at work, but the reason may also be that a certain type of people frequently gets the late night slot as editor of the online edition.

Everything I’ve heard about the story (and its been in the news one way or another for at least 3 weeks) has been about the special status that journalists accord themselves and want everyone else recognize — as though they really are special — like soldiers, firefighters, librarians, nad (in some cases) priests. The spin I’ve been reading and hearing has been all about confidential sources and a special place for bloggers in the US Congress press gallery (there is already a blogger in teh Whitehouse daily briefings).
