The Verge· 2025-10-03 15:00
Spotify will now let you exclude a single song from your algorithm and taste profile on Spotify. So recently I have a 2 and a halfyear-old who only wants to watch Toy Story 100% of the time. This morning I'm pretty sure he faked sick for I think the first time ever so that he because he wanted to stay home and watch TV and I saw through him and he's not here.But anyway, his favorite song on earth is the third song from the Toy Story soundtrack, which is called I Will Go Sailing No More.

Theresa, if we may, I want to go to the other piece of this first, because, you know, the emphasis from the administration was making us tick tock American. The UAE is an ally of the United States in defense, for example.

NBC News· 2025-09-25 22:06
Do we know if this deal will address those concerns. We'll keep, for instance, our data and our our information safe. Here's what the administration has said at this point.A senior White House official has explained that the way that the algorithm is going to work is that they're saying that China has essentially agreed to export a copy. That's a big concession by the way on the Chinese part. If that comes to be what we see happen, that algorithm will be trained, retrained with US user data.An algorithm is ...
'Fast Money' traders talk about what the TikTok deal means for Big Tech
CNBC Television· 2025-09-25 21:55
Bite Dance, which is the parent company of Tik Tok, its most recent valuation exceeds $300 billion dollar. This is a 14 billion deal for the US division of Tik Tok. What do you think.>> It's pretty shocking. I mean, if you just want to kind of take a look, five years ago, the president signed an executive order to ban Tik Tok. And so, here we are five years later, and you would think that this is a company that would be worth a whole heck of a lot more.They probably have four or five times the revenue that ...

NBC News· 2025-09-25 20:57
If I could make it 100% MAGA, I would. Now that uh Americans will have operational control, do you want to see the algorithm suggest more MAGA related content. Prioritize.I always like MAGA related. If I could, I'd make it 100% MAGA related. I It's actually a good question, but I would. Yeah, if if I could make it 100% MAGA, I would.But it's not going to work out that way, unfortunately. No, everyone's going to be treated fairly. Every group, every every uh philosophy, every policy will be treated very fair ...

Jason Calacanis: Disclose your algorithm or lose Section 230 protections
All-In Podcast· 2025-09-24 17:27
Algorithms must be disclosed and you must have the option given to you upfront to switch your algorithm. There should be a B ya, bring your own algorithm. There should be an algorithm store.If you could say, I want one that just gives me a chronological feat. I want one that is from the highest quality sources. And then you should be required to show what the default algorithm is doing.And if you don't do that, I think you should lose your section 230 because an algorithm is more powerful than an editor at ...
