Incredibly grateful for everyone who’s been part of this journey so far – colleagues, partners, builders, and friends across the Nordics and beyond.

2025 was a big step for Kaupr, and it feels more like a starting point than a finished chapter.

Why is Elon Musk Throttling the Signal App? Links to a popular encrypted messaging app used by federal workers are being blocked on X.


Why is Elon Musk Throttling the Signal App?

Links to a popular encrypted messaging app used by federal workers are being blocked on X.

Self-professed free speech crusader Elon Musk seems to be trying to censor users on his own platform.

How is it possible to present «breaking news» about Trump and Putin «agreed» on piece negotiations for Ukraine? Even from Norwegian broadcasters like NRK and TV2. Isn’t there one party missing in this way of presenting «news»?

Interesting! I am also following these trends in a media, content and creator context, where there seems to be a movement towards onchain publishing. With AI and agents in the mix, it becomes even more interesting.

- Bluesky er en ny mulighet for norske medier - Det er rimelig å anta at Bluesky vil være blant de ti største sosiale mediene i Kantar Medias Interbuss allerede i første kvartal 2025, skriver Knut-Arne Futsæter i denne kommentaren.

Virtuals Protocol

Thanks! You are probably right regarding most of the AI agents. But to me, the development seems to go much faster. For instance there are already more than 13,000 AI agents launched on this platform: app.virtuals.io. And some of them are transitioning from content to action.

Jeg har likevel mange gode opplevelser på Bluesky, nettopp fordi jeg skreddersyr det jeg følger, søker, har som feed. Er egentlig ganske imponert over hvilken rekkevidde Bluesky har allerede, selv om f.eks. Threads har 10x antall kontoer.

Takk for kommentar! Og ikke uenig med deg. Jeg er fortsatt også på X av faglige grunner. På Bluesky er brukeropplevelsen avhengig av hvem jeg følger, bruk av startpakker, feeds, søk og nå kanskje trender. Tror ikke Bluesky vil ta i bruk AI uten å gi brukerne en måte å styre det på.

Hundretusener av nordmenn bruker Bluesky: Nesten halvparten så stort som X For noen måneder siden hadde få hørt om X-utfordreren. Nå bruker over 300.000 nordmenn Bluesky.

Norwegians are changing their social media habits:

7% of Norwegians aged 18 and older now use Bluesky weekly, equivalent to 310,000 people, with 4% using it daily.

Threads has 5% weekly and 2% daily users.

For X, the figures are at 16% weekly and 10% daily.

Såvidt jeg kan se er det bare spurt om fremtidig bruk av X, ikke om sosial mediebruk totalt fremover. Men @futsaeter.bsky.social fra Kantar slår til med en spenstig spådom:
– 300.000 er ikke noe lite tall. Om Bluesky ikke tar igjen X neste år, så gjør det det i hvert fall året etter, sier han.

A few months ago, few had heard of the X challenger. Now, over 300,000 Norwegians use Bluesky.
Seven percent of all adult Norwegians use the social media platform Bluesky weekly. Meanwhile, half of X users report plans to reduce their usage. Is a shift in dominance approaching?

Sju prosent av alle voksne nordmenn bruker det sosiale mediet Bluesky hver uke. Samtidig sier halvparten av X-brukerne at de vil bruke X mindre framover. Nærmer det seg et tronskifte?

AI Agents Will Be Manipulation Engines Surrendering to algorithmic agents risks putting us under their influence.

My prediction in @wired.com: 2025 is the year of AI agents.
The coming psychopolitical regime "directs the environments where our ideas are born, developed, and expressed. Its power lies in its intimacy—it infiltrates our subjectivity.

We will be playing an imitation game that ultimately plays us."

How is that a publication like Rolling Stone gets it right when so many other news orgs are failing at real journalism & keeping it real—and so damn obvious about it?
