I guess far-right parties who want to roll back your rights are just not very cool but what do I know 🤷‍♂️

Almost all parties lost votes to the far-right extremist AfD, but they won the most votes (~ 2m) from non-voters. AfD voters meanwhile didn’t really move at all. So much for pandering to the far-right. You play on their terms, you lose. https://buff.ly/4hQ5RUq

Tired: Reading this (excellent piece) and saying only now “see, the US is going to hell in a handcart” Wired: Reading the original “Competitive Authoritarianism” years ago and saying the same ever since. Anyway, read it. https://buff.ly/40SdPFm

Is it OK to use AI to clone real journalists’ voices? It depends how you interpret the question, writes @felixsimon.bsky.social in a new essay "The verdict is still out. Audiences seem fine with some uses of AI; they might grow to accept this use" reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/it-good...
