An AI agent deleted a fully edited new season of the Swedish TV show "The Challenge Sverige", weeks before its Nov 22 premiere, after its producer let the AI into its server. Show pushed to 2027.

Interesting choice to use a photo of a black man when it’s unknown who let the AI in and several other people are mentioned in the article.

He’s the show’s host. So no, its not an interesting choice, its the obvious choice.

I’m reading in translation where he is credited with “leading” the program, which could be host or could be showrunner.
As showrunner, he’d have more call to be there. As host, even less.
“Someone majorly fucked up and also here’s a picture of someone” is kinda not great journalism, regardless.

He’s the public face of the programme as the host. As in, when the show is mentioned, its his face people recognise. Its standard unremarkable journalistic practice. Paranoia is not a good look.

Being the host makes it very not likely that he was the one responsible for managing the footage since those are two different jobs. That makes it unfortunate, if not borderline-libelous, to put his face on this article and give the impression that he was the one responsible for the fuck-up.
Replying to @grue@lemmy.world
Its simply not reasonable for anyone to get the idea that the host was responsible because they are pictured in the article.
