Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, I'm Daphne. I forgot that I was watching a movie about a bear for an hour. I was really frustrated. I don't watch that movie. It's coffee snake. Hello, I'm Daphne. I forgot that I was watching a movie about a bear for an hour. I was really frustrated.
Starting point is 00:00:10 I don't watch that movie. It's coffee snake. Hello, I'm Daphne. I forgot that I was watching a movie about a bear for an hour. I was really frustrated. I don't watch that movie. It's coffee snake. Hello, I'm Daphne.
Starting point is 00:00:18 I forgot that I was watching a movie about a bear for an hour. I was really frustrated. I don't watch that movie. It's coffee snake. Hello, I'm Daphne. I forgot that I was watching a movie about a bear for an hour. I was really frustrated. I don't watch that movie. It's coffee snake. Hello, we are a little tired. A lot of things are happening at the same time.
Starting point is 00:00:31 It's the heat wave and we don't have air conditioning here at our place, nor fans. What are you going to talk about today Daphné? Well, my subject is Enhance Games. These are Olympic games that should take place in 2026 and that allow athletes to use doping substances. There are some risk capital that call these Olympic games of the future and it would not only allow athletes to get drunk, but also perhaps to beat world records. You are going to tell us what you are going to talk about. Today I am going to talk about the Digital News Report that was filed for 2024.
Starting point is 00:01:05 It's a report that brings together 48 countries that ask questions that are about the population, about their media consumption habits, especially what is related to news and media. It's funded by Google, research funding from all the countries that are participating in media studies. There are still interesting conclusions, just to see what their analysis of the media climate is. And without further ado... The DG News! Tudu! I'm lucky to talk to you today, my name is Moulire Kadouri. I wonder if there was something to tell We put someone in the world
Starting point is 00:02:12 We should maybe listen to him Dear parents, dear and forever, Bianca and Daniel Dear and protected Bianca and Daniel, thank you for giving me the opportunity to live in a generation for which war is a computer game for our children and just an interesting little channel for news item. Every member of parliament tonight who votes for the government motion will be consciously and deliberately accepting the responsibility for the deaths of innocent people if the war begins as I feel it will. Now that's for their decision to take.
Starting point is 00:03:07 But this is a fight you... Excuse me, madam, do you know that you're not real? I can tell you, young man, that my rent and my grocery bill are very real. Maybe it's true that we're just lines of code, but I feel real, so is there a difference? First DG News, the military contract of OP&AI. So the American government concludes this week a $200 million contract with the giant of the OpenAI artificial intelligence, which would be used to develop tools for the army. You should also know that OpenAI entered the war business last December,
Starting point is 00:03:55 so it had announced a partnership with the armament company in Duril. But that's exactly what happened before this collaboration. The OpenAI policy forbade the use of these technologies for military purposes. I'm going to give you an article from The Intercept written by Sam Beidle. What happened was that in January 2024, the company modified its rules into 4-6 mini to allow some applications of its technology to the army and the war. In these regulations, in these usage policies, OpenAI before banning the use of these technologies for activities at high risk that could cause physical damage, including for example the development of weapons,
Starting point is 00:04:41 armament, everything that was military and at the level of war. And there, when we modified these regulations, well, we kept some elements of discourse. So we still use ideas that technology could not be used to harm others or even to develop weapons. But we erased the kind of half-phrase that talked about applying technology to everything related to war and the military. What's interesting is that the journalist contacted OpenAI regarding this change of regulation, and they said, oh no, we changed all of this just so that the document is clearer and easier to read. And so that's why we erased some words. And we also pointed out that everything we were doing with OpenAI was always for national security purposes,
Starting point is 00:05:33 that technologies could be applied to cases that aligned with the OpenAI mission. And for example, they cited a plan to create cybersecurity tools. What I feel like we'll see in the next coming months, if it's not already the case, is to really re-brand certain words. For example, we're talking about the Defense Department in the United States. We use defense instead of talking about the War Department. We'll say, yes, we're not using it for the end of the war, but we're using technology for the end of defense.
Starting point is 00:06:04 We'll use the words security, even like Israel, who always talks about securing its borders, and even the military posts everywhere in West Jordan, we call them security checkpoints. So we often use these words, security, to really get the real goals, the real goals. And now goals, in a semantic way. And now I'm just going to go back to the OpenAI mission. So what it will often advertise, it will say that its mission is to ensure that artificial intelligence
Starting point is 00:06:35 benefits all of humanity. Maybe for them, humanity is actually the United States. To stay on the theme of war, it happened during the wedding on Saturday night. The US bombed Iran, they bombed four nuclear development sites that are completely neutralized. I didn't stop to talk about the military strike, but just how it was staged, how it was deployed in the media, in social networks. Because how I perceive this attack from the United States, yes there was perhaps a desire to be a good student and listen to Israel who has been telling him for months that we must attack Iran, but there was also a desire to impose
Starting point is 00:07:21 his power and remind the world that the United States has the largest army, the army has financed it better. I found that in the speeches that were around this military operation, there was a great theatricality, there was a narrative that was really present in how we presented this military attack. They left Missouri with these planes, some. Some left from that side, from the east to the west. They really did a step by step of how it all happened. And then it happened after that week, because we've been talking about this for several weeks in the MAGA camp for the pro-war, anti-war, neocons, MAGA, Steve Bannonists, Roger Stoneists, all the ideological fringes within MAGA.
Starting point is 00:08:14 And then there was one that was really viral. It was an interview between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz who really made the headlines because we see Tucker Carlson who has been talking to him for years about how much he has been traumatized by his support and conditioning to the Iraq war, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq. He defended this war in CNN for hours of great attention when he was on television in the 2000s. And there he is firmly against the military involvement of the United States in anything. There are a lot of people who say that it's because it's a puppet of Putin, but I, when I watch his speech, it really comes from this kind of fringe that is even close to the big hippies we had talked about, this fringe of the extreme right in the American
Starting point is 00:09:01 movement, of just America first, in the sense that if nothing happens in the United States, we would have to put what is advantageous to the United States from the front and not get involved in other conflicts. If the Americans are in danger, we do something, but it's just America first. So Ted Cruz confronted him, asked how much money Epac was giving him. Epac is the super PAC that is made to fund the interests of the State of Israel with politicians. So it's them who finance a lot of campaigns and one of the people who
Starting point is 00:09:31 finance the most is Ted Cruz. So there was all this kind of discussion that was once again semantic in the support of Ted Cruz to Israel or the Israeli government. You know, he said that no, I support good relations between Israel and the US. And not... And then, Tucker Clancy was like, between Israel or the Israeli government? And I think that... There were a lot of clips
Starting point is 00:09:54 that went viral from that interview, but I think that the one I saw the most substantial was this idea that Tel Kruz is trying to claim that he supports the state of Israel and the population instead of the government of Israel. So Clancy asks him once, who took a position that was against the Israeli government, and who was not able to name it. And then, until like 12 hours before we started this episode, Donald Trump announces that he will have a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran.
Starting point is 00:10:22 And Israel breaks the agreement a few hours after the announcement. And Donald Trump, who made a statement, almost insulted Israel. He said, Israel and Iran are two countries that have been at war for forever. And at the moment, they don't know what the fuck they're doing. And he was really critical of Israel. He said, they're doing anything. And it's not to fall into the conspiracy brain, but I have the impression that Trump, live, is hard on Israel after doing what Israel wanted to try to take back that frank that he had lost respect for him or that he saw as being sold to the Zionist lobby.
Starting point is 00:10:55 So that's it, I think it's still interesting. And it's just not discussed or analyzed in the media in Quebec when you were in school? Well, I read that... I don't remember where, sorry. But that the sessions and the kind of synchronicity within the MAGA movement also benefited from their media ecosystem, because in the end, you know, there were these kind of... ... media clashes, I see. Media clashes, fights, how do you say... know, what we want, like when we look at a
Starting point is 00:11:27 good TV reality, it's that there are two characters clashing, who are confronting each other, we want to watch a fighting match to the limit. So it would ultimately have a positive impact on their media ecosystem. Exactly, and that's what a lot of people are asking. What is this entire media environment that MAGA is going to do once in power? Because they no longer have the kind of easy clip farm or commitment generation that is like dunk on the left. Because the left has no power in the American democratic system at the moment.
Starting point is 00:12:03 So it's true that you have to get caught between... At the end of the free extract of Coffee Snake available to everyone.
