Great insights into the new Operator mode of ChatGPT- great promise but still early days.

Great title but is Substack the answer? Asking @jonworth.eu @mathewlowry.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/on/p/now...

TikTok is out in the US. Let’s see what Monday holds.

So Rednote is the new TikTok. Could the political message be any more subtle? #LittleRedBook

Are de-influencers the new influencers? Looks like it. www.bbc.com/culture/arti...

In Invisible Rulers, I use the term “bespoke realities” to describe this. A self-determined reality formed from readily-available info via algo curation or via fellow members of the crowd who help you discover identity-based truth. Everything else can be dismissed. Propaganda, not “misinformation”.

In the final #ZNLive, @pweiss.bsky.social & the #ZNetwork shared trends to keep an eye on in 2025: 👉 AR/VR is thriving – Big moves from Google, Samsung, Apple & Meta. 👉 Owning your narrative – Digital independence is key. 👉 Short videos domination – Fast, engaging, essential.

Happy New Hallucinations!

Updated list of 2024-2029 MEPs on Bluesky - now over 150 names. I've tried my best to make sure all accounts are real, have included some that seem real but inactive, and I've excluded some where the handle matches the name of the MEP but there is no photo, bio or activity. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The US Supreme Court will hear arguments on January 10 about whether a potential nationwide TikTok ban is legal. The case comes just days before new restrictions could take effect. TikTok, with 170M US users, argues the ban violates free speech rights. www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme...

Second Sora video - at least this time we are moving forward! #onestephahead

As disinformation becomes the new normal, hopefully countermeasures will become more effective.
