“The man falsely accused by Channel 7 News (⁦Seven West Media⁩) as the perpetrator behind the #BondiJunction stabbing that left six people dead over the weekend, will pursue legal action against the network.” #defamation “ #journalism ” #ethics flip.it/1OEHRJ

OPINION ⁦Tyler McBrien⁩ “Jury selection can be tedious. It can also be interesting. But it’s always important. And, in this case, it will be no small feat.” The pool of potential jurors is drawn from Manhattan. So far, six have been sworn in. #Trump lawfaremedia.org/article/how-to…

I for one would be very concerned about the safety & welfare of all the jurors on the #Trump criminal trial. I know Judge Merchan has made formal efforts to make them “anonymous” but the Trump legal team has their identities & has been trawling their #socialmedia etc. #ruleoflaw

OPINION MargaretSimons Discuss. “The #defamation case against Network Ten revealed #media mediocrity plus a lack of self-awareness & humility. Many journalists should have known better”. #journalism #law #ethics #democracy theguardian.com/media/2024/apr…

“In this year’s A.I. Index — a big annual report put out by Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence — the authors describe poor measurement as one of the biggest challenges facing #AI researchers.” #research #technology aiindex.stanford.edu/report/

OPINION ⁦Kevin Roose⁩ “unlike companies that make cars or drugs or baby formula, #AI companies aren’t required to submit their products for testing before releasing them to the public. There’s no Good Housekeeping seal for A.I. chatbots”. #technology nytimes.com/2024/04/15/tec…

“Some people may be drawn to the profession for the adrenaline rush … What is most meaningful for me is knowing that I am witnessing history & trying to make images that do justice to the people & events I’m covering.” - Carolyn Cole #photojournalism #journalism #photography

“As ⁦The New York Times⁩ reported in 2017, #Trump drinks about 12—12!—Diet Cokes a day … Each 12-oz. can of Diet Coke contains 46 mg of caffeine”. As The Huckster struggles with apparent caffeine withdrawal, expect much more of, 💤The Nodfather💤? #Trump Trial flip.it/kmUBj5

Interesting, several reporters & even a potential but recused juror, have commented on how “diminished” #Trump appears in the seedy Manhattan courtroom, without his GOP cult base cheering him on, surrounded by a crowd of potential jurors. #ruleoflaw #accountability #Trump Trial

“Tom Cotton , GOP of Arkansas, … urged people whose routes were blocked by pro-Palestinian demonstrators to ‘take matters into your own hands’ & confront the offenders, endorsing the use of physical force against peaceful protesters.” #violence #democracy #GOP #Trump

“‘We are going to put on the armor of God,’ the Arizona GOP candidate for Senate said to cheering supporters. ‘& maybe strap on a Glock on the side of us just in case.’” #Trump #GOP cult devotee, former journo, Kari Lake, advocates #violence . #democracy flip.it/ojmfZy

REVIEW “Gizmodo ran a few tests of DALL-E’s new edit tool, which is very similar to Adobe Photoshop’s generative fill feature, Firefly. While OpenAI DALL-E is one of the best #AI image generators on the market, the edit tool is somewhat disappointing.” flip.it/ZlZn6D
