Kuuntelin juuri erästä podcastia ja siinä nostettiin esille Petteri Orpon anteeksipyyntö. Anteeksi pyydettiin siis kiinaksi, japaniksi ja koreaksi. Miksei muilla kielillä? Myös muissa Aasian maissa asuu ihmisiä, joiden kasvonpiirteitä on pilkattu.

Tässä silmienvenyttelykohussa on huomionarvoista se, että siitä tuntui tulevan poliittisesti vakava asia _vasta_ kun se kasvoi yritysten liiketoiminnan kannalta haitalliseksi ilmiöksi.

How Trump's outreach to Europe's far-right aims to split EU – DW – 12/10/2025

Wild that this is only the second most objectionable thing Liam Neeson has done in recent years.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.
In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

I absolutely agree. The United States is a security threat not only to Denmark but to whole Europe.
Denmark has labeled the United States as a potential security concern for the first time in an annual report released by one of its intelligence agencies, offering more evidence of the increasingly fraught transatlantic alliance between Europe and the US.

Getting back into the swing of things after needing to attend to some personal matters this month. I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a human journalist (yes, really), and to the end I've added some info to my About and Subscription pages that I hope helps folks see where I stand:
![A pledge to you, my readers, about AI
As the world continues to be swallowed whole by the menace of AI chatbots, I felt it was important to write a bit about what, if any, AI may be used in service of this publication.
While I may use AI to help generate transcriptions of the interviews I conduct with my sources (TapeACall transcribes recordings, for example), those generated transcripts are combed through multiple times before I select quotes for publication. I often listen to recorded interviews multiple times before and after they are transcribed, and you can be sure that the quotes included in any original written piece on this website have been thoroughly vetted against the recording. However, given the recent news that OpenAI may be using chat transcripts to train their LLMs, there’s a likely chance that other companies will do the same–therefore, it’s highly likely that I’ll be going back to transcribing audio by hand in order to preserve source confidentiality.
That’s it. That’s all I use any type of “AI” technology for. I do not use AI for research, for writing, for image generation, video generation, or any other item that I publish on my newsletter. I refuse to use it. This newsletter is written by my own hand, using my own brain, and my own training as a journalist, literary scholar, and researcher. AI technology is untested, dangerous, and produces subpar work with such regularity that it’s functionally useless. It has also contributed heavily to the decimation of newsrooms across this country, and any newsroom leader who thinks it’s the future of journalism is a rube.
This is my pledge to you: if you read this newsletter, you can rest assured that is it written entirely by me. That’s a Mel Buer guarantee. ;]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36qxymynrrlueovhitpmrfbu/bafkreidbc647mawgro2yxwnztwda5r2g3mynoypidegculncyvslkctkqu@jpeg)

So, some ChatGPT chats have been available for others to see but my understanding is that you would have had to manually share the conversation and posted it somewhere in order for it to appear in a search engine. I don’t understand why would someone do that, especially if there’s sensitive data.
