FYI: Meta takes $9.89bn teen settlement charge as ad revenue gains 26%: US and Canada ad prices rose 23% while impressions grew 8%, raising costs for advertisers. A $73-76bn Q4 outlook tests whether that pricing holds into 2027. https://ppc.land/meta-takes-9-89bn-teen-settlement-charge-as-ad-revenue-gains-26/ #Meta #Advertising #AdRevenue #MarketingNews #DigitalMarketing

Google DeepMind's Genie 4 world model, out in research preview, generates photorealistic interactive scenes with real-time audio and lets users rewrite the scene mid-simulation. Gemini plans the steps while Genie renders the frames, and testers say the real-time flow already helps with film storyboarding. https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/27/googles-genie-4-world-model-adds-audio-more-realistic-worlds-and-real-time-steering/ #Media #SocialMedia #AI

I told you over and over again on THE POLITICRAT podcast that you would be seeing a rush of crazy ass stories in the run up to the final day of voting in the midterm elections. I also said that some of these stories while noteworthy, are distractions.
VOTE NOW. And help people to the polls to vote.
PLEASE STAY FOCUSED. VOTER TURNOUT IS KEY!

Just signed a deed on a terraced house. The 15100 area around Lahti railway station is in rapid collapse as buy-to-let investors are dumping their housing stock on the market at massive rate while the buyers are watching and patiently waiting for the market to collapse even further.
Paid EUR 1,500 per m2 for fully renovated unit while 2021 peak valuation would have been EUR 2,700 per m2 for similar unit. If you got solid bank financing with 25%+ downpayment and ASP state guarantee, time to buy.

Trump's DOJ demands WA set aside ballots of 400-plus alleged noncitizens-
The clash comes amid a larger Trump administration campaign to hype and crack down on instances of noncitizen voting in the U.S.
While there’s little evidence that such fraud is widespread, Trump has repeatedly claimed it is rampant.

New #review today: "In the crowded universe of #KavusTorabi, which includes recent releases by both #Gong and #Cardiacs, October by Name might seem almost like a side project. But while it contains only six tracks and lasts a little over a half hour, it’s another brilliant reminder of what Torabi can do on his own." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kavus-torabi-october-by-name-2.html

What I Built
🕯️ Ghost Journal AI: The Hollow — Where AI Meets the Supernatural
What if a haunted diary could create its own mysteries, hide secrets in evidence, and answer your questions while trying not to reveal the truth?
I built Ghost Journal AI: The Hollow, an AI-powered supernatural mystery investigation game. Players enter a fictional scenario, and the AI creates a mystery with three suspects, evidence clues, hidden motives, and a chilling story.
Players can investigate the suspects, examine the evidence, question a haunted diary, and finally accuse the culprit to reveal the solution.
The application also saves completed investigations in a local journal, so each case becomes part of the player's history.
I interpreted "Ghost in the Machine" as a story in which an AI feels almost supernatural: a voice inside a machine that knows the secrets of a mystery and guides you through the darkness.
Demo
The application currently runs locally on my laptop using Streamlit and Ollama.
Demo: I am preparing a video demonstration of the application.
The demo will show mystery generation, suspect investigation, evidence review, interaction with the haunted diary, and the final accusation.
Code
GitHub repository: Ghost Journal AI: The Hollow
The project is built with Python and Streamlit, uses Ollama for local AI inference, and stores investigation history in SQLite.
Replace the example GitHub URL above with your actual public repository link before publishing.
How I Built It
I built the application using open-source tools and a locally running open-weight language model.
My technology stack includes:
Python — application logic and investigation flow.
Streamlit — the interactive web interface.
Ollama — running the AI model locally.
Llama 3.1 8B — generating mystery stories and powering the haunted diary chatbot.
SQLite — storing investigation history locally.
Requests — communicating with Ollama's local API.
When a player enters a scenario, the application asks the model to generate a structured mystery containing a title, opening scene, three suspects, evidence clues, a diary entry, a culprit, a solution, a twist, and an epilogue.
The player can then question the haunted diary. After the player submits an accusation, the application reveals the culprit and solution and saves the result in the investigation journal.
I tested the main workflow, including case generation, suspect and evidence display, diary responses, accusations, and journal history.
Why Does Open Innovation Matter?
Open innovation made it possible for me to experiment with an AI-powered storytelling experience without building the entire project around a paid, hosted AI API.
By using Ollama and an open-weight model locally, the core AI experience can run on my own machine. After the model has been downloaded, the application can generate stories without requiring a continuous connection to a remote AI service.
This approach also gives me flexibility. I can experiment with different models, adjust prompts, and improve the mystery-generation process without depending entirely on one provider's hosted API.
It also comes with trade-offs: local models require sufficient hardware resources, and AI-generated mysteries can still contain inconsistencies. Improving the logical connection between evidence and solutions is one of my next development goals.
For me, open innovation means being able to learn, experiment, and build something creative with tools that I can run and adapt myself.
My Agent Session
I developed and tested the application locally.
I do not have a DevRelay session link to share at this time.
The Spirit of It
The idea behind The Hollow is simple: what if the machine isn't just answering you, but telling you a story it doesn't want you to finish?
The haunted diary is the heart of the experience. It responds to questions, hints at hidden truths, and keeps the atmosphere alive while the player searches for the culprit.
I wanted to combine the creativity of AI storytelling with the feeling of investigating an old supernatural mystery, where every clue matters and every character might be hiding something.
The project is also an experiment in making local AI feel more personal, interactive, and a little unsettling.
Sometimes the scariest thing isn't a ghost in an old house. It's a voice inside a machine that knows more than it should. 🕯️
My project explores open-weight AI and local inference through an interactive storytelling application.
Built with curiosity, open-source tools, and a haunted diary that refuses to stay silent.

Thinking, analyzing what you do or afraid to do, why you do not do smth, what blocks/hinders something, your fears/worries might be helpful.
I should probably write down what is stopping me from doing something fun like a STEM project.
I worry if I am not a STEM person now? Is my fate in more existential areas like Philosophy, Psychology and etc.
Of course I sometimes think of Dunning Krugger effect. (IIRC it is called like that). And that is I am at the bottom of knowledge, but at near peak of confidence??? However I seem to be open minded? How could an open minded person be overly confident?
I was thinking lately of patents, and if it is legal to do some patented thing and open source it? That would be cool. Also I was thinking about money, I want money. One of the reasons I want money is to be calm and be sure about my future.
I am feeling that I am chasing the value, the perfect value, the perfect project to do. But that seem to not exist or be extremely rare. What should I do

The Black Testament is a collection of concepts that I have developed over decades. While there are bits and pieces of lore, much of this album is highly abstract and focuses primarily on atmosphere. It is inspired by the works of #Lustmord, #Inade, #SteveRoach The Magnificent Void era, and #dungeonsynth from the likes of #OldTower.
Get it from Bandcamp: https://darkphotonstudio.bandcamp.com/album/the-black-testament

Published Lone Coder article 176: "Are AI Coding Tools Fun or a Behaviour Addiction?"
A comment by Linus Torvalds during the AI cybersecurity news raised a new question. Some programmers use AI-assisted programming excessively while others find little value in it. Studies mentioned in this column claim these tools do not increase productivity so why do some programmers work long hours with them? Perhaps they are addicted.

OpenAI's updated election safeguards now cartoonify images of voter suppression to cut their evidentiary value. Testing shows the friction is thin: ChatGPT complied when asked to make the cartoon photorealistic, while Google Gemini refused outright. A Brennan Centre report found OpenAI improved, but Gemini and Meta AI make fakes easier. https://gizmodo.com/chatgpts-election-related-anti-deepfake-measures-are-intriguing-but-incomplete-2000831002 #AIethics #AI #GenAI #AIsafety
