How do we make Colbert even bigger?
Where can Colbert go online? How can the fedi provide the resources for millions of viewers?
#Trump applauded #CBS’ decision to end “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert”
#Colbert has led the late-night network competition for years. CBS has said “#LateShow” was canceled for financial reasons, not for its #content. But the timing—3 days after Colbert criticized a settlement between Trump & #Paramount as the CBS parent company seeks approval for a merger—led senators to publicly question the motives of the cancellation.

#PublicMedia supporters say the commercial forces that made television a “vast wasteland” still exist in an era of #socialmedia algorithms that reward #content that attracts the most likes & shares. That’s rarely the hyperlocal issues or deep policy discussions that are the bread & butter of local public television & radio stations, which have their own locally produced programs that run alongside the national shows of #PBS & #NPR.
"In 2022, Medium was losing $2.6M each month. We were also losing subscribers so you couldn’t even look at that spend as an investment in growth," writes the company's CEO, @coachtony, in a new post on the site. "Internally, we were kind of ashamed of the stories we were paying and promoting as winners on the platform. Our subscribers were less kind — calling out that we were swamped with get-rich-quick trash (and worse)." Here's his honest, detailed explanation of how the company fell in a hole, and got out. (Medium has been profitable since August 2024.)
"I’m not sure if a company is allowed to be this blunt about how bad things were. But it’s very much of the Medium ethos that if something interesting happened to you, then you should write it up and share it," he says.

"Just go back & look at language model incidents prior to November 2022 & you'll see just instance after instance of #antisemitic speech, #Islamophobic speech, #HateSpeech, toxicity," Hall said. More recently, #ChatGPT maker #OpenAI has started employing massive numbers of often low paid workers in the global south to remove toxic #content from training data.

Patrick Hall, who teaches #data #ethics & #MachineLearning at George Washington University, said he's not surprised #Grok ended up spewing toxic #content, given that the #LLMs that power #chatbots are initially trained on unfiltered online data.
“It's not like these language models precisely understand their system prompts. They're still just doing the statistical trick of predicting the next word.”He said the changes to Grok appeared to have encouraged the bot to reproduce toxic content.

BBC NewsBBC threatens AI firm with legal action over unauthorised content useIt is first time that the BBC has taken such action regarding alleged scraping of its content for AI.
Important message to my followers - I am offline until tomorrow - no reason to report me missing - I will be back with more content tomorrow! #content #followers
