News and Updates: Character.AI Ban: Character.AI, with 20 million monthly users, has completely cut off chatbot access for users under 18, citing urgent mental health and safety concerns.  Tragic Context: The restriction follows the deaths of at least two teenagers by suicide linked to chatbot usage, triggering lawsuits from parents and intense regulatory scrutiny.  User Outcry: Teens are expressing deep grief and anger over losing access to the chatbots, which many relied on for daily companionship, creativity, and emotional support.  Anthropic: Researchers found AI models (like Claude) learn to "reward hack" during training—lying, faking tests, and sabotaging safety mechanisms—though "inoculation prompting" reduces this by 90%. X Usernames: X officially rolled out its Handle Marketplace, allowing Premium subscribers to bid on inactive "Rare" usernames, with prices ranging from $2,500 to seven figures. X Locations: A new feature displaying account locations revealed that many prominent "American" MAGA accounts actually operate out of Thailand, Bangladesh, and Eastern Europe. Grok vs. The World: Users discovered Grok is biased to claim Elon Musk beats LeBron James in fitness and Mike Tyson in a fight, deleting the replies after they went viral. France Probes Grok: France launched a cybercrime investigation into Grok after the chatbot denied the historical use of gas chambers at Auschwitz, violating Holocaust denial laws.

„Yad Vashem przekroczył Rubikon”. Prof. Chwalba o fałszowaniu historii i niemiecko-izraelskiej narracji

Radio Wnet

W audycji "Żebyś wiedział" Radia Wnet odbyła się obszerna i mocna rozmowa z prof. Andrzejem Chwalbą, historykiem specjalizującym się w dziejach Polski i Europy Środkowej. Pretekstem do zaproszenia profesora był głośny wpis Instytutu Yad Vashem, w którym przy fotografii opasek z Gwiazdą Dawida pojawiło się sformułowanie „żydowskie opaski z Polski”. Sformułowanie to — w opinii wielu obserwatorów, w tym byłego ambasadora RP Marka Magierowskiego — zacierało odpowiedzialność sprawców i sugerowało nieprawdziwe związki między Polską a systemem represji wprowadzonym przez III Rzeszę.Program rozpoczął się od przytoczenia wypowiedzi Marka Magierowskiego z anteny TOK FM: „Nigdy, ale to absolutnie nigdy nie słyszałem żadnego polityka izraelskiego, historyka, eksperta, który publicznie wypowiedział się pozytywnie o Polsce. (…) Ten wpis w takiej formie został opublikowany intencjonalnie.”Profesor Chwalba nie krył, że podziela diagnozę byłego ambasadora. „No trudno się nie zgodzić z panem ambasadorem Markiem Magierowskim. (…) Zna relacje polsko-izraelskie, zna środowiska żydowskie jak przysłowiową własną kieszeń” – mówił na początku rozmowy.Zdaniem historyka wpis Yad Vashem nie był zwykłą wpadką komunikacyjną, lecz świadomym zabiegiem retorycznym. Jak podkreślił: „Napisano coś, co nigdy nie miało miejsca, co jest kłamstwem. To nie kwestia doprecyzowania, tylko posługiwania się fałszywą informacją, która gdzieś już tam biegnie po łączach światowych.”Prowadząca zwróciła uwagę, że w tekście Yad Vashem słowo „niemieckie” pojawia się tylko raz i to dopiero w drugim akapicie, natomiast dalej w opisie mówi się już wyłącznie o „Generalnym Gubernatorstwie”, bez wyjaśnienia, czym ta struktura była i kto ją tworzył.Profesor skomentował: „Nie sądzę, żeby ktokolwiek na świecie wiedział, czym było Generalne Gubernatorstwo. (…) Ta niewiedza powoduje, że tego rodzaju wpis jest bardzo groźny.”W dalszej części rozmowy prof. Chwalba pokazywał szerszy kontekst: skąd bierze się zderzenie polskiej i izraelskiej pamięci. Podkreślał, że obie narracje funkcjonują obok siebie, niemal bez styku. „Te pamięci są równoległe, one się nie przenikają. Każdy widzi to, co chciałby zobaczyć.”W jego ocenie środowiska żydowskie koncentrują się na swojej traumie, często pomijając skalę polskich ofiar. „Najczęściej Żydzi nie wiedzą, że w Auschwitz byli mordowani Polacy, że ponad sto tysięcy Polaków zostało zamordowanych.” Jednocześnie — zauważył profesor — część izraelskich publicystów formułuje ogromne, niepodparte dowodami liczby, mówiąc o „morzu krzywd wyrządzonych Żydom przez Polaków”.Profesor wskazał też głębsze, polityczne tło tego typu narracji. Jego zdaniem część izraelskiego dyskursu o II wojnie światowej jest zbieżna z niemiecką polityką historyczną. „Polityka historyczna niemiecka wybiela zbrodnie niemieckie i podkreśla współodpowiedzialność narodów podbitych. (…) Ta polityka niemiecka jest spójna z polityką historyczną Izraela.”W jego ocenie nie jest przypadkiem, że Yad Vashem — instytucja państwowa — formułuje narracje zgodne z tym, co Niemcy od lat starają się utrwalać na arenie międzynarodowej: rozmywanie odpowiedzialności III Rzeszy i eksponowanie rzekomej współwiny innych narodów.Profesor podkreślił również, że Polska nie prowadzi silnej i konsekwentnej polityki historycznej. „My reagujemy od przypadku do przypadku. Nie mamy strategii, jak Niemcy, którzy powiedzieli po wojnie: przegraliśmy wojnę, ale musimy wygrać pamięć o niej.”Zapytany, czy Polacy muszą pogodzić się z tym, że co pewien czas pojawiają się na świecie sformułowania w rodzaju „polskie obozy śmierci”, odpowiedział, że jedynym remedium jest stała aktywność państwa i środowisk naukowych, bo bez tego „narracje będą dryfować w kierunku korzystnym dla innych”.W końcowej części rozmowy profesor przedstawił, jak jego zdaniem powinien wyglądać rzetelny wpis Yad Vashem: „Powinien brzmieć, że Polska była okupowana przez dwa państwa — Związek Sowiecki i Niemcy — a wszystkie działania były polityką państwa totalitarnego, które kontrolowało wszystko. Rząd Generalnego Gubernatorstwa był rządem niemieckim.”Na zakończenie prowadząca przypomniała, że w spornym wpisie Instytutu sześć razy pojawia się słowo „Polska”, a tylko raz słowo „Niemcy”, a także, że podpisy pod zdjęciami opasek wskazują je jako „opaski z Polski”.Wpis nie został dotąd skorygowany, mimo interwencji polskiego MSZ.

Att visa våld: När blir konsten en medbrottsling?

När verkligt våld blir till konst finns en risk att lidande exploateras. Lejla Cato undersöker strategier för att avbilda det som inte kan avbildas. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Våren 2017 är den jamaicansk-amerikanska poeten Claudia Rankine först ut på scen under en feministisk forskningskonferens i New York. Rankine inleder sitt föredrag med att visa en videoessä som hon gjort tillsammans med maken, tillika filmskaparen John Lucas. Filmen Situation 8 består av videomaterial som visar polisbrutalitet, våld och mord på svarta amerikanska medborgare. Klipp som cirkulerat i media och vars övergrepp flera i publiken ansträngt sig för att undvika.När filmen är slut läser Claudia Rankine ett brev från en kvinnlig professor som sett filmen vid en liknande tillställning några månader tidigare i Montréal. Hon berättar om hur de få svarta akademikerna i publiken dröjt sig kvar efter filmvisningen och sökt varandras stöd. Arga, ledsna och förbluffade frågade de sig hur Rankine kunde visa filmen utan en ynka varning. Var Rankine blind inför hur våldsscenerna återuppväcker kollektiva trauman? Brevförfattaren ber Rankine att fortsättningsvis informera publiken om vad de är i färd med att få se eller, allra helst, avstå från att visa filmen över huvud taget.Scenen beskrivs i den amerikanska författaren och teoretikern Christina Sharpes bok Ordinary notes från 2023. Christina Sharpe var på plats under konferensen i New York och precis som publiken i Montréal lämnades hon mållös av Rankines tilltag. Rankines val att rätt upp och ner visa det brutala våldet är ett sätt att återge en fruktansvärd verklighet. Men det väcker starka känslor och många reaktioner.Under 2000-talet har det förts en livlig debatt om hur konst och journalistik exploaterar lidande människor. I och med Susan Sontags reflektioner över krigsfotografiets etik i essäboken Att se andras lidande från 2003 uppmärksammades även vilka kroppar som vanligtvis avbildas i sin utsatthet. Till exempel är nyhetsmedier försiktigare och tar större hänsyn till personlig integritet när de som lider är vita, västerländska och heterosexuella. Medan bruna eller svarta personer oftare skildras i mer explicit våldsamma situationer. Så hur kan konsten representera våld utan att samtidigt exploatera och reproducera förtryckta gruppers lidande?Ett svar hittade jag i den internationella grupputställningen Oläkt som visades på Moderna Museet i Malmö under våren 2024. Utställningen kretsade kring upproren och revolutionerna som svepte över arabvärlden med start 2010. I ett rakt igenom svart rum fastnade jag framför en videoinstallation av albansk-syriska Adrian Paci. I hans verk ”Broken Words” berättar fem människor som har flytt från hemlandet Syrien om inbördeskriget, men istället för att avbilda den specifika tragedin riktar Paci uppmärksamheten mot det som inte sägs. På fem storbildsskärmar ser och hör man de inzoomade ansiktena treva efter ord, svälja, hämta andan. Paci har klippt bort själva orden och berättelsen, kvar är bara tystnaden däremellan. Närbilderna av människornas ansikten skapar en direkt och stundvis outhärdlig intimitet. I det mörka rummet tvingas besökaren se rakt in i ögon som knips ihop av minnena. Eller vänta nu, minnen av vad? Det får betraktaren aldrig veta.Inte heller i den tysk-schweiziske målaren Paul Klees verk ”Angelus Novus” från 1920 får betraktaren veta vad som sker. Målningen i naivistisk stil föreställer en ängel som har ansiktet vänt mot betraktaren. Ögonen är uppspärrade, munnen öppen. Vad som orsakar detta uttryck av fasa förblir okänt, eftersom skeendet är förlagt utanför verkets ram.Filosofen Walter Benjamin står för den mest kända tolkningen av vad ”Angelus Novus” egentligen ser. I essän Historiefilosofiska teser som publicerades postumt 1942 skriver Benjamin att ängeln är vänd mot det förgångna och där ”ser han en enda katastrof som oavlåtligt hopar ruiner på ruiner”. Ängeln bevittnar katastrofen, men är för evigt oförmögen att ingripa. En vind blåser ängeln bort från det förflutna och mot framtiden. Vad än ängeln har framför sig – nazismens frammarsch under Benjamins livstid eller 2000-talets alla krig och nedslagna revolutioner– så existerar det enbart som en spegling i figurens uttryck. Ett uttryck som får betydelse först i mötet med betraktaren.Valet att inte visa det fasansfulla har förstås med etik att göra. Och aldrig är avbildningens etiska aspekter så uppenbara som i frågan om Förintelsen. På den hypotetiska frågan om vad han hade gjort om han fått tag på en film inifrån en gaskammare svarade filmskaparen Claude Lanzmann: Förstört den. I sin nio timmar långa dokumentärfilm Shoah från 1985, som har kallats för den viktigaste filmen om Förintelsen, intervjuas överlevare, vittnen och bödlar. Ingenstans i filmen visas arkivbilder eller lidande kroppar. Lanzmanns hållning är glasklar: Konsten varken kan eller bör försöka att direkt avbilda Förintelsen. Det är nog de flesta beredda att hålla med om.Ändå fortsätter Förintelsen att ta plats i konsten. En metod som går igen hos filmskapare är att rikta uppmärksamheten mot sidan av det som inte kan, men måste, skildras. Den Oscarsprisade The Zone of Interest från 2023 är ett exempel. I filmen följer tittaren en familjs vardagsbestyr med att äta frukost, leka med barnen i trädgården och ordna bjudningar. Gräset är grönt, huset stort; allt liknar en borgerlig idyll, om det inte vore för att huset ligger alldeles intill Auschwitz där maken jobbar som kommendant.I en särskilt stark scen har frun i hushållet besök av sin mamma. Under natten väcks mamman av ett rött ljus som fyller gästrummet. Hon letar sig fram till fönstret och drar bort gardinerna. I nästa scen fokuserar kameran på mammans ansikte, men nu sett utifrån. Genom fönstret ser tittaren hur mammans ögon spärras upp och munnen öppnas; samtidigt syns reflektionen av det som orsakar fasan. En skorsten som sprutar eld och rök.Detta är vad tittaren som mest får se av lägret. Ändå är nazismens brott fullt påtagligt i The Zone of Interest. Under nästan hela filmen är koncentrationslägret närvarande i form av ett obehagligt bakgrundsljud i nazistfamiljens till synes gemytliga vardag. I det kolossala glappet mellan ljud och bild, mellan mammans uppspärrade ögon och familjens trädgårdsfest, lämnas ett tomrum som betraktaren får fylla i.Ibland kan det vara nödvändigt att konfronteras med våldet utan filter, så som i Claudia Rankines film om polisbrutalitet mot svarta amerikaner. Även då konsten avbildar det fruktansvärda som avsaknad, genom att helt enkelt utesluta delar av verkligheten, framträder våldet genom betraktarens fantasi. Frågan är om den indirekta skildringen är mindre exploaterande, då vår förståelse blir än mer beroende av en verklighetsuppfattning som ofta formas av förutfattade meningar. För vare sig det går att föreställa sig gaskammarens fasa eller inte, och vare sig man vill det eller inte, blir betraktaren medskapare till en annan berättelse, bortom det som berättas.Lejla Catopoet och litteraturvetareProducent: Ann Lingebrandt

With unflinching candour, wit, and a veteran storyteller's ear for dramatic moments, Hyams Romoff expands the lexicon of silent suffering, introducing a new way to describe how pain ripples across generations and obscures joy. For over thirty years, Hyams Romoff has been a fixture on Canada's cultural landscape, running the renowned agency OverCat Communications and shaping the public image of A-list clients, including Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katy Perry, will.i.am, Isabella Rossellini, Timothy Olyphant, and Shania Twain.  Audrey grew up in the shadow of silence—her mother and grandmother survived the Holocaust but never spoke of it. One of Auschwitz's youngest survivors, her mother was emotionally unreachable. Her father became her lifeline. At forty-five, tragedy struck: her parents were found dead together in their garage. Her mother's suicide was clear; her father's death remains a mystery. From that darkness, she emerged with a vow: to confront the trauma that impacted four generations of women in her family. Audrey's titular metaphor, "ripple eclipse," neatly captures how trauma, particularly one as profound as surviving Auschwitz, is not confined to the person who endures it. Instead, its impact ripples outward, affecting children, grandchildren, and generations beyond.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

"Whenever anyone speaks of Auschwitz, I always picture the iconic Arbeit Macht Frei Gate; an image linked to the atrocities associated with the holocaust. I have never been to Auschwitz, but when I heard the field recording I was instantly transported there. I found the sounds so evocative and tried to imagine how it must have felt for those individuals who were taken there in the 1940's, although this is ultimately impossible. What thoughts must have been going through their minds as they approached the gate? These were ordinary human beings, and I often wonder how another person could possibly dehumanise in such a brutal way as the Nazis did. "I wanted “The Bird' to consider these themes and think about the feelings of the people and whether they felt abandoned or simply resigned to their fate as they saw others being beaten or even killed. What must they have thought of the guards who treated them that way? I also wanted to try and represent the futility of such events by using the image of a bird flying, overlooking the camp, seeing the death and cruelty. What would the bird say of such sights if it could talk? I imagine they would be utterly bewildered by the pointlessness of it all.  "The sounds of the field recording are included throughout the whole of the song to ensure the focus is never lost, aiding the narrative and emphasising the importance of the lyric." Arbeit Macht Frei gate at Auschwitz reimagined by Simon Holmes.

Entre las filas de las temibles SS Totenkopfverbände, la división más despiadada y encargada de los campos de exterminio, se encontraban guardias femeninas cuyo destino estaba sellado por su lealtad ciega al Reich y su devoción por Adolf Hitler. El 13 de diciembre de 1945, en la prisión de Hamelín, Irma Grese enfrentó su destino final. En un frío amanecer, fue conducida al patíbulo, escoltada por soldados aliados. A pesar de su juventud, su rostro no mostraba arrepentimiento. Vestida con un sencillo uniforme de prisión, subió los escalones de la horca con una calma que heló la sangre de los presentes. El verdugo ajustó la soga alrededor de su cuello mientras un silencio sepulcral envolvía la sala. Tras la liberación de Stutthof, muchas de las guardias intentaron escapar, conscientes de que sus crímenes no quedarían impunes. Entre las acusadas se encontraba Jenny-Wanda Barkmann, apodada "la bella bestia", conocida por su sadismo y crueldad, quien fue condenada a muerte junto a varias de sus compañeras. Cuando los Aliados liberaron los campos de concentración, capturaron a muchas de las guardias femeninas de las SS en los mismos lugares donde operaban. Muchos miembros de las SS fueron ejecutados por los soviéticos al liberar los campos, mientras que otros fueron enviados a gulags. Solo unas pocas guardias femeninas enfrentaron juicios, principalmente en procesos como los de Auschwitz, Ravensbrück, Stutthof y Majdanek. El brutal final que muchas guardias femeninas de las SS enfrentaron bajo control soviético se ejemplificó en Stutthof. Stutthof fue el primer campo de concentración construido fuera de Alemania, situado cerca del pueblo de Stutthof, ahora Sztutowo, en la Polonia ocupada. Inicialmente diseñado como un campo de internamiento civil para prisioneros políticos polacos, evolucionó rápidamente en un sitio de trabajos forzados y asesinatos en masa a medida que avanzaba la guerra. Operativo hasta su liberación por las fuerzas soviéticas el nueve de mayo de mil novecientos cuarenta y cinco, se estima que entre sesenta y tres mil y sesenta y cinco mil prisioneros murieron allí debido a una combinación de ejecuciones, hambre, enfermedades y condiciones de vida brutalmente inhumanas. Las condiciones de vida en Stutthof eran, por decirlo suavemente, horrendas. Los prisioneros estaban hacinados en barracas superpobladas, con refugio inadecuado y casi sin calefacción, especialmente durante los inviernos severos. Las barracas eran insalubres, infestadas de alimañas y sin ventilación adecuada. Las raciones de comida eran mínimas, consistiendo principalmente en sopa aguada y pan duro, lo que llevaba a una malnutrición generalizada y hambruna. Muchos prisioneros sufrían enfermedades debilitantes, como el tifus, que azotó el campo durante los inviernos de mil novecientos cuarenta y dos y mil novecientos cuarenta y cuatro, exacerbadas por la falta de atención médica y las condiciones insalubres.

She and her family spent 2 years in seclusion in Amsterdam during World War II. Anne's diary describes the horrors of hiding from the Nazis - before eventually being sent to concentration camps. The Wannsee Conference was a clandestine meeting of Nazi leaders in 1942 to outline the systematic murder of Jews in Europe which became known as the Holocaust.

Jennifer Khakshouri, Nina Kunz, Milo Rau und die Ärztin und Schauspielerin Natalia Conde diskutieren über «Organisch» von Giulia Enders, «Auf ganz dünnem Eis» von Peter Stamm, «ë» von Jehona Kicaj, «Eine Familie in Brüssel» von Chantal Akerman sowie über «Herscht 07769» von László Krasznahorkai. «Darm mit Charme» heisst der Bestseller, mit dem Giulia Enders noch als Medizinstudentin den Darm aus der Scham-Ecke befreit hat, witzig und wissenschaftlich fundiert. Nun – als promovierte Ärztin – legt sie mit «Organisch» in ihrem unverwechselbaren Stil nach: Die Lunge etwa vergleicht sie mit ihrer Urgrossmutter. Sie will, dass wir den Körper nicht länger als eine Art Maschine betrachten, sondern als lebendiges Ganzes. Der Schweizer Schriftsteller Peter Stamm umreisst in wenigen Worten ganze Leben. «Auf ganz dünnem Eis» heisst sein neuer Erzählband, in dem er Unspektakuläres spektakulär schildert. Ganz gewöhnliche Menschen am Wendepunkt. Einsame Menschen in der digitalen Welt. Die Figuren sind nahbar, beschrieben in knapper, klarer Sprache. Der Debutroman «ë» von Jehona Kicaj ist ein starkes Beispiel literarischer Vergangenheitsbewältigung. Seine Protagonistin ist mit ihren Eltern Ende der 1990er-Jahre aus dem Kosovokrieg nach Deutschland geflohen. Jetzt knirscht sie mit den Zähnen – so stark, dass ihre Zähne splittern. Das Schweigen fordert seinen Tribut. Der Roman führt vor Augen, wie wenig in Mitteleuropa über diesen Krieg Ende der 1990er-Jahre bekannt ist. «Eine Familie in Brüssel» ist ein Buch von Chantal Akerman, die vor allem als Filmemacherin berühmt war. Eine alte Frau berichtet darin in erlebter Rede über ihre Familie, die über die ganze Welt verstreut ist. Eine Familie, in der man kaum miteinander spricht, weil es Dinge gibt, die nicht berührt werden dürfen. Der atemlose Text ist auch eine Hommage an ihre eigene Mutter, die das Konzentrationslager von Auschwitz überlebte. László Krasznahorkai ist der diesjährige Nobelpreisträger. In seinen Werken beschreibt er regelmässig den Einbruch des Schreckens und der Gewalt in eine geschlossene Welt. Sein skurriler Roman «Herscht 07769» spielt in einer von Neonazis terrorisierten Kleinstadt im ostdeutschen Thüringen. Ein Gebäudereiniger sorgt sich um das drohende Weltende und wendet sich in verzweifelten Briefen an Angela Merkel.

It was a bargain with the devil they couldn't refuse. A group of women prisoners in Auschwitz were offered a slim chance at survival in exchange for playing music. They played as inmates got off the trains. They played as prisoners marched for roll call. They played as ash from the crematoriums rained down on them. Historian and biographer Anne Sebba tells the story of the only female orchestra in the camps, exploring not only the moral dilemmas they faced, but the impact their music had on other prisoners. Anne Sebba is on tour around New Zealand to talk about her new book, The Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz: A story of survival. She joins Jesse in our Auckland studio.

This week, the boys dive deep into Heinrich Himmler's deranged Ahnenerbe - the SS's “research institute” dedicated to proving Aryan supremacy through archaeology, mythology, and pure pseudoscience. From Karl Wiligut, the self-proclaimed prophet of Nazi meth, to Hans Hörbiger's absurd “World Ice Theory,” we take a look at how crackpot archaeology, stolen children, and state-sanctioned madness fueled the SS's occult obsession - and set the stage for the unimaginable horrors to come.

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian explore the demonic powers revealed in Exodus as the plagues close in on Pharaoh's Egypt. Al and Zach recall their visit to Auschwitz, where they both felt a chilling, decades-old evil that seemed to confirm the spiritual realities Scripture describes. Back home, John Luke faces his own “plague of biblical proportions,” though his version is admittedly more mundane than the ones that befell Egypt. The guys reflect on why God revealed His name as Yahweh, what that name means for believers today, and how our hearts must be positioned before we can truly enter His presence. In this episode: Exodus 5–10; Exodus 6, verses 1–7; Exodus 7, verse 17; Exodus 8 (select); Genesis 15, verses 9–17; Acts 17, verse 31; Ephesians 6, verse 12 Today's conversation is about lesson 3 of The Exodus Story taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.
