Aw…. A little girl lost her doll a week or two ago at Disney on Ice in Oslo, and her parents set up a website and started an email chain to help find it – I haven’t seen the doll, but perhaps you have?

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 […]
This is my original Norwegian draft of an essay published in the Danish foreign policy magazine Udenrigs today as part of a special issue on AI and foreign policy. I argue that AI is influencing the way we tell stories, and more seriously, that there is a risk of this […]
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 […]
Thanks to everyone who came to the triple book talk of three recent books on machine vision by James Dobson, Jussi Parikka and me, and thanks for excellent questions. Several people have emailed to asked if we recorded it, and yes we did! Here you go! James and Jussi’s books […]

I wanted the book […]

Anyone else reminded of that Swedish television series – “R‰dda Joppe, dˆd eller levande”? 🙂

It’s really funny, when I visited that page, I didn’t have to understand a bit of Swedish to figure out that they found her doll. I’m glad!
Jill
Oh look! They found it! Thanks, Ghani!

I am not surprised you didn’t have to understand a bit of Swedish to understand that they found the doll , Ghani:-)

Uh oh, now i’m paranoid — was that not swedish? Did i just make a fool of myself? 😉
Elin
That was 100% Norwegian, you see.
But that’s ok. Norwegians survive worse insults:-)
