The cost of data center infrastructures powering AI and the people paying the price
The Environmental Reporting Collective (ERC) supports nearly 40 journalists working on how the energy and resource constraints in traditional tech hubs are forcing companies to look beyond the U.S. and China, pushing into countries with weaker environmental regulations and less public oversight:

Bad #journalists? Suspected: #AI replaced #editor.
Short #news about a rare bird find. But let's hallucinate with some 'ea', the sound of bird, and the author's name, hey, it must be a beaver! Photo without source: the blurry effects seem to come from a video still, the "download" was not erased, no source (probably the trail cam). No sense because no link to a beaver article.
In my times, no matter how drunk the final editor might have been at night, that never happened.

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index.

So maddening that the rest of the White House press corps doesn't boycott all press briefings until The Associated Press is allowed back in the room.

The White House Correspondents' Association issued a sternly worded statement while it should be leading a boycott charge. Which is what I just told them using their contact form, for all the good I expect that to do.

And hurray for AP in refusing to call the Gulf of Mexico anything but The Gulf of Mexico.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,
Film photography took a back seat in the 2000s and 2010s because it couldn't compete with digital cameras' speed and convenience.
But does that still hold true in 2024?
Apparently, not. Miles Myerscough-Harris shot the Jests game on Portra, had it developed, and posted the results as the game continued.
I discuss this idea further on the blog: analog.cafe/comments/k676
What was the fastest film photo turnaround for you?

Die hatten bereits Anfang/Mitte des letzten Jahrzehntes aus dem Nichts einen #diaspora* Server mit 25k Nutzern (theRealTalk.org) aufgezogen bevor sie dann urplötzlich die Wahlen gewannen.
Das wird bestimmt ein Riesenerfolg für #mastodon und das #fediVerse in dieser Runde ..

What jobs are we preparing students for by boosting their writing productivity with AI? After shedding 40% of its workforce, the gaming site Gamurs posted an ad last June for an editor to write 250 articles per week. That’s a new article every 10 minutes, at $4.25 per article.
As @novomancy has noted, AI is only the accomplice here. This clickbait nightmare is the logical conclusion of the ad-supported web.

As an occasional journalist, I just love the way Ed Yong closes his latest OpEd at NYTs & couldn’t agree more. nytimes.com/2023/12/11/opinion… #GiftArticle #writing #journalism
“Journalists can act as a care-taking profession that soothes & nurtures. We are among the only professions that can do so at a scale commensurate with the scope of the crises before us. We can make people who feel invisible feel seen. We can make everyone else look.”
That captures the sorry state of much of #MSM when it comes to #DonaldTrump and #Election2024
Real #journalism requires practioners to ask every member of the #GOP to clarify whether they are in alignment with the #VerminSpeech
Real #journalists do not accept the usual evasive tactics utilized by pols in evading hard questions by attempting to run the clock down because of the tyranny of time slots

NPR’s data shows that they lost nothing after being ostracized by the psychotic white billionaire. It counters the idea that leaving Twitter is a loss. Let’s dismiss the idea that we need to be held hostage on any platform.

Neglected to post this cartoon from a couple weeks ago: Always blame the left!
Featured story: "The conservative campaign to harass the libs out of academia has already sent a chill through #Texas’ world-class public universities, making professors and administrators so fearful of setting off the lunatics in charge at the Capitol that they censor themselves—in scholarship or in their communications with students and the public."

A great video, Jeff. I'm looking forward to the book. I liked this: In the age of the internet "media is only one part of the network..." Interesting to hear Alan mention that many Journalists are uncomfortable with that. To others, I recommend the content. #journalism #mediarelations #commodon
