Jon Stewart on Fifa’s peace prize: ‘An entirely fictitious golden butt plug’

Late-night hosts mocked Donald Trump for gleefully accepting the inaugural Fifa peace prize ahead of the World Cup in the US.On the daily show on Monday evening Jon Stewart roasted Donald Trump for accepting the inaugural Fifa peace prize at the World Cup draw on Friday.“Oh my God, he won the prize specifically created to appease him!” he joked.“The Fifa appease prize!“I don’t know if you guys got a good look at the trophy, but come on,” he laughed before a photo of the trophy, sculpted to appear as though several hands rising from below cupped the world.“I think its design somewhat reflects, in all likelihood, how it was conceived.

I take you to that meeting now...” Stewart continued, breaking into an impression of a Fifa employee: “Why do we gotta invent some prize just to satisfy some fragile egomaniac? Trump is so needy.It’s like the world always has to reach out and stroke his balls.

”The prize ceremony included not only the trophy but a medal, which Trump immediately put around his own neck.“He’s so thirsty he’s not even going to bag it,” Stewart laughed.“He’s like, ‘No, I’ll just wear it out of the store, no worries.’“The craziest part wasn’t necessarily Donald Trump being awarded an entirely fictitious golden butt plug,” he added.“It was the cognitive dissonance of flipping over to the news channels, post-peace ceremony.

” The host played a series of clips from the Trump administration claiming they were “ramping up the pressure” on the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, or “on the brink of war with Venezuela”.“America’s new foreign policy is basically this: don’t kill people there [the Middle East]; kill them over here [South America], in your own time zone,” he mused.“It’s classic advice: shit where you eat.“That’s the new Trump doctrine.It’s not in any way about stable democracies.

It’s about spheres of influence,” he concluded.“Russia can have their sphere of influence, including Ukraine.China can have theirs, and probably Taiwan, and we get South America.America is no longer the shining city on the hill.It is merely just one of the five crime families, splitting up the territories.

”Jimmy Kimmel also poked at Donald Trump for his award-filled weekend, including a hosting stint at the Kennedy Center Honors – the first held since Trump’s hostile takeover of the formerly non-partisan performance venue and institution.While hosting, Trump took a swipe at Kimmel, claiming he was an inferior host – “If I can’t beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, then I don’t think I should be president.”“I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with anything more than that,” Kimmel joked.“Do you think he even knows that I’ve never hosted the Kennedy Center Honors? Maybe he’s confusing me with Queen Latifah? And as far as this who has more talent thing goes, it seems like he’s challenging me to a contest and if so, I’m open to it.Let’s do it.

Let’s have a talent competition.I’ll come on, I’ll tell a few jokes, I’ll draw something, I’ll clarinet.And he can play golf, spank a porn star and ruin a country.”Kimmel also mocked the Fifa peace prize, “which is like if Nascar started handing out Peabody awards.It means nothing.

“He couldn’t hand out all those Kennedy Center medals without getting one himself,” he mused.“You know how when you bring a birthday present to an eight-year-old and you have to bring another one for his five-year-old brother? This is basically that.”Nevertheless, Trump proclaimed the award to be “one of the greatest honors of his life”.“Putting a made-up medal around your neck and bragging about it is like masturbating and telling your friend you got laid this weekend,” Kimmel quipped.“Everyone, even his family, knows this is a BS prize designed to keep him from screwing up the World Cup, except for him.

It’s so deeply pathetic, it almost makes me feel bad for him.”“Everyone knows how easily Trump is flattered by gifts and fake awards, and that dynamic has only become more glaring in his second term,” said Seth Meyers on Late Night.He recalled how South Korea gave him a crown and the Olympic organizing committee gave him medals, but “nothing will ever top what Fifa did on Friday” with the inaugural peace prize.“First of all, is there anything sadder than putting a medal on yourself? It’s like putting the candles in your own birthday cake,” Meyers laughed.“I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that the guy who starts walking the stage before they announce the winner also can’t wait to wear his shiny new toy.

“The gambit worked exactly as planned,” he continued, as “Trump was so easily swayed by the special trophy from Fifa that within minutes, the man who once called himself America First was saying we should rename American football because soccer is the real football,”As Trump said on stage to the Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, “This is real football … we have to come up with another name for the American stuff,”“They gave him one fake peace prize and he’s already turning on the quintessential American sport and siding with Europe,” said Meyers,“To win Trump back, the NFL is gonna have to one-up Fifa with the first inaugural NFL Lifetime Achievement Genius Prize Emmy Oscar Golden Globe Tony Michigan Man of the Year Award or Whatever,”“I hope you had a fun weekend, but there is no way you had more fun than Donald Trump,” said Stephen Colbert on the Late Show, “because he is that girl from the office who celebrates her birthday month, and it’s going to be four years long.

”Colbert first took a swipe at Trump for saying, during his Kennedy Center Honors hosting duties, “if I can’t beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, then I don’t think I should be president.”“You can’t, and you shouldn’t,” Colbert responded.“Also just a quick brain check for grandpa pudding skull – I called him, and Jimmy Kimmel has never hosted the Kennedy Center Honors.But here’s the thing: I did, the three years leading up to Trump becoming president.”In other news, “after years of campaigning unsuccessfully for the Nobel peace prize,” Trump won the inaugural Fifa peace prize.

“Might seem like an odd combination, but I think it’s appropriate, because when you think peaceful, you think soccer fans,” Colbert joked.“And later that day, Trump also received the Hooters National Book Award.“Call me a boomer, but these participation trophies have gone too far!” he exclaimed.

‘I feel it’s a friend’: quarter of teenagers turn to AI chatbots for mental health support

It was after one friend was shot and another stabbed, both fatally, that Shan asked ChatGPT for help. She had tried conventional mental health services but “chat”, as she came to know her AI “friend”, felt safer, less intimidating and, crucially, more available when it came to handling the trauma from the deaths of her young friends.As she started consulting the AI model, the Tottenham teenager joined about 40% of 13- to 17-year-olds in England and Wales affected by youth violence who are turning to AI chatbots for mental health support, according to research among more than 11,000 young people.It found that both victims and perpetrators of violence were markedly more likely to be using AI for such support than other teenagers. The findings, from the Youth Endowment Fund, have sparked warnings from youth leaders that children at risk “need a human not a bot”

Social media use damages children’s ability to focus, say researchers

Increased use of social media by children damages their concentration levels and may be contributing to an increase in cases of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to a study.The peer-reviewed report monitored the development of more than 8,300 US-based children from the age of 10 to 14 and linked social media use to “increased inattention symptoms”.Reseachers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and the Oregon Health & Science University in the US found that children spent an average of 2.3 hours a day watching television or online videos, 1.4 hours on social media and 1

‘It has to be genuine’: older influencers drive growth on social media

In 2022, Caroline Idiens was on holiday halfway up an Italian mountain when her brother called to tell her to check her Instagram account. “I said, ‘I haven’t got any wifi. And he said: ‘Every time you refresh, it’s adding 500 followers.’ So I had to try to get to the top of the hill with the phone to check for myself.”A personal trainer from Berkshire who began posting her fitness classes online at the start of lockdown in 2020, Idiens, 53, had already built a respectable following

Scores of UK parliamentarians join call to regulate most powerful AI systems

More than 100 UK parliamentarians are calling on the government to introduce binding regulations on the most powerful AI systems as concern grows that ministers are moving too slowly to create safeguards in the face of lobbying from the technology industry.A former AI minister and defence secretary are part of a cross-party group of Westminster MPs, peers and elected members of the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish legislatures demanding stricter controls on frontier systems, citing fears superintelligent AI “would compromise national and global security”.The push for tougher regulation is being coordinated by a nonprofit organisation called Control AI whose backers include the co-founder of Skype, Jaan Tallinn. It is calling on Keir Starmer to show independence from Donald Trump’s White House, which opposes the regulation of AI. One of the “godfathers” of the technology, Yoshua Bengio, recently said it was less regulated than a sandwich

A robot walks into a bar: can a Melbourne researcher get AI to do comedy?

Robots can make humans laugh – mostly when they fall over – but a new research project is looking at whether robots using AI could ever be genuinely funny.If you ask ChatGPT for a funny joke, it will serve you up something that belongs in a Christmas cracker: “Why don’t skeletons fight each other? Because they don’t have the guts.”The University of Melbourne’s Dr Robert Walton, a dean’s research fellow in the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, is taking a different approach to working out whether robots can do comedy.Thanks to an Australian Research Council grant of about $500,000, he will train a swarm of robots in standup. And, at least in the beginning, they won’t use words

Artificial intelligence research has a slop problem, academics say: ‘It’s a mess’

A single person claims to have authored 113 academic papers on artificial intelligence this year, 89 of which will be presented this week at one of the world’s leading conferences on AI and machine learning, which has raised questions among computer scientists about the state of AI research.The author, Kevin Zhu, recently finished a bachelor’s degree in computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, and now runs Algoverse, an AI research and mentoring company for high schoolers – many of whom are his co-authors on the papers. Zhu himself graduated from high school in 2018.Papers he has put out in the past two years cover subjects such as using AI to locate nomadic pastoralists in sub-Saharan Africa, to evaluate skin lesions and to translate Indonesian dialects. On his LinkedIn, he touts publishing “100+ top conference papers in the past year”, which have been “cited by OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Stanford, MIT, Oxford and more”
