By seeking #extradition of #JulianAssange, #PresidentJoeBiden is contributing to attack #pressfreedom #globally. Continuing #prosecution could serve as a bad example for other countries.

The legal action against #JulianAssange is poised to culminate in a #trial in the United States in 2023, and this book will help the #public understand the proceedings.
This new #book by #KevinGosztola, (2/21/2023) who has spent the last decade covering #Assange, #WikiLeaks, and the wider #war on #whistleblowers, tells the full story based on #testimony from dozens of witnesses. It examines #abuses-of-power by the #CIA and the #FBI, including a #spying operation that targeted Assange's #family, #lawyers, and #doctors. It outlines how WikiLeaks exposed the reality of American #wars, the #US #government's #unprecedented #indictment against Assange as a #publisher, and the #media's role in persuading the #public to " #shoot-the-messenger." #Guilty-of-Journalism offers a #balanced and #comprehensive #perspective on all the events leading up to what #press-freedom advocates have called the #trial-of-the-century.

[...] the systematic repression of Palestinian journalists and the silencing of Palestinian expression on social media has been largely ignored by the establishment press.

The use of AI in #journalism raises questions about the #transparency and #ethics of such a practice as well as the potential impact on the authenticity and accuracy of news. Additionally, it also raises concerns on the implications this might have on #SEO and #Google searches. The lack of response from #CNET regarding their use of AI in writing articles has only added to the concerns and sparked a wider conversation about the future of journalism and the role of AI in it.
Now we only need AI to give likes and write comments. Then we need AI for outrage and start shitstorms and AI that appeases and is diplomatic. Then we can play the #internet completely automatically. We ourselves can then sit back and no longer have to go through all the #madness. What a wonderful world this could be... 😉

"I began my career at the ABC News affiliate in Boston before realizing my true passion lay elsewhere and setting out on a different path.
For as tough an interview as she was, Barbara Walters had the uncanny ability to get even the most reticent subject to willingly sit with her.
With so many OGs I grew up with now gone (Peter Jennings, David Brinkley, Hugh Downs, Cokie Roberts, etc.), this one particularly stings." - Drew Geishecker, former ABC colleague

One of the more #comprehensive #reports from #UN #Special-Rapporteur-on-Torture #NilsMelzer (aside from his book) into the case of #Assange with details of the #false #Swedish #allegations that fueled his #public #mobbing and #persecution. The #case is a huge #scandal and represents the failure of #Western #rule-of-law. If #JulianAssange is #convicted, it will be a #death-sentence for #freedom-of-the-press.

It's almost comical to see Twitter banning #truth and #journalism if it rubs Lord #Muskvirus the wrong way,. "Off with their space!"

"There is a crisis in mainstream political reporting and it is damaging our democracy. The problem has been building for a long time, since at least the late nineties when news was first digitised at scale, but it has now come to a head."
'Of course, the problems go deeper than journalism itself and extend to social and political changes that have taken place in the same period. In short, there has been a growing crisis of governance in which people have lost faith in the ability of democracy to address their needs and a tendency, therefore, to seek more extreme political formations."

Certainly, no reader would have otherwise realised this article was written by AI. But it is also clear that, whilst the form and structure is excellent, the content is of a generic nature.
Where it does fall down, is that a better read human/journalist is going to be acutely aware of additional contextually relevant, and more specific information, that should maybe also be included.
AI is probably ideally suited for fiction writing and summaries of lengthy non-fiction tombs, but even so, can’t really be just left on its own without good proofreading.
There is a temptation to apply AI rules in a wonderfully objective manner to decision-making (such as legal disputes), with AI erasing human bias, as it can consult vast amounts of information and case law in a short period. But although we’d like human bias erased, there is still the social aspects and mitigating factors that often require human thought. Rules of ethics have also not yet been put in place to govern AI decision-making.
Clearly we have a long way to go still before AI can just operate on its own. Right now, it is probably a very useful aid in constructing fictional story lines, summarising vast amounts of information, doing the groundwork for legal cases, etc. But like with autopilot in vehicles, humans should be very careful not to just rely blindly on AI.
