i wrote a whole rant about it with all my lungs
essentially:
the problem of #AI is not fakes (although that is a problem, it's not the main problem)
the problem of AI is that it enables this lowest common denominator asshole going "fake, AI" under EVERY GODDAMN NEWS ITEM AND ARTWORK
that lazy behavior becomes a #disinfo vector all by itself
the point of the #propaganda routine the Firehose of Falsehood is to make us distrust everything, even the real

#Americans, expect more of this for your #2026: #Republican hysterical claims, ZERO evidence:
"It was already burbling up in various venues toward the end of last week, but it officially got underway over the weekend: the long-expected 2026 #midterm #election #disinfo bonanza."

corporate #socialMedia is about making money
this has two terrible effects:
1. #moderation is a cost center for them. if you want to make money, you want to cut costs. therefore, it's cheaper for them to say "freeze peach!", decimate the #mod dept, and let #bigotry and #disinfo run wild
2. we say "don't feed the #trolls" but the unfortunate human baseline behavior is that controversy drives clicks, eyeballs, engagement. therefore, bigots and disinfo is *profitable*

#California #Voters, mail your ballots at least a week before the June 2 #election.
Do not listen to #VoterSuppression #disinfo that tells you to "wait and see." Time to wait is over, vote now or #USPS might not deliver your ballot in time to be counted.

My personal 9 questions before believing anything.
SOURCE — primary or secondary?
NORMALIZATION — duplicate or original?
EVENT vs NARRATIVE — fact or interpretation?
ACTORS — who communicates, who benefits?
INCENTIVES — cui bono?
MANIPULATION — fear, urgency, vague sources?
CROSS-CHECK — independent or just repeated?
SCORING — relevant, reliable, distorted?
DECISION — ignore, monitor, investigate.
news → opinion. or news → analysis → decision.

Kid Cudi tosses controversial co-headliner from his #RebelRagers comeback tour after #MAGAT Sri Lankan Tamil heritage rapper who dated Diplo and had a child with a Canadian Seagram$ scion, has become problematic for fans. Concert goers became particularly upset about onstage rants, pronouncements and polarizing politics decrying "illegals".
in recent years, after her 2010 breaktru hit #PaperPlanes , M.I.A. flipped off #NFL #SuperBowl XLVI halftime viewers onstage, and eventually evolved into an #AntiVax crusader spreading #disinfo about Covid-19 and sold a line of anti-5G clothing via #AlexJones #InfoWars . Her career has commercially stalled, particularly since leaving a 2012 management deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation and a 2017 conversion to Christianity, while displaying Kanye-esque stances and evolving from anti-Trump to becoming a non US citizen who virulently supports #DJT.

#MissKittyPolitics #AI #Research can help you determine if any of the news is true. I have no single go to media outlet I explicitly trust unless I already know it to be true. Everybody gets fact checked. If I can't find it 3 times I wonder what's up. If only one, then have to lean towards #disinfo.

"The challenge is no longer only to correct the public record, but to intervene in the private, communal and relational flows where falsehoods often take hold before they become visible to institutions."
For Poynter, Laura Zommer and Natalia Colombo discuss how journalistic fact-checking could and should evolve in this day and age:

Disinformation spreads as complete narratives, argue researchers, not as factoids.
This is a serious weakness for debunking based on individual facts.

Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI), including disinformation, is a growing security and foreign policy threat for the European Union. The European External Action Service (EEAS) has taken a leading role in addressing this challenge.

Stop referring to Steve Sweeney as a "journalist". He works for Russian state television. He's a propagandist. Even the current DOS website notes that RT moved beyond being a media entity and is "engaged in information operations, covert influence, and military procurement".

YouTube's hold on Google News is highly disproportionate. Especially given that social media and video content were supposed to be adjunct to print journalism. By sheer numbers, these data suggest it takes up a greater proportion than all other outlets.
Fascinatinlgly, different keywords showed variations in the behavior of users with how they engaged with the platform. You can start to see a behavioral difference based on valence and year.

@JennyFluff I used to make this metaphor but haven't thought of it in awhile: they're like that orange energy-being in the Star Trek: TOS episode "Day of the Dove" that feeds off anger, and thrives by engineering conflict (in this case, between the Enterprise crew and the crew of a Klingon ship) while also making sure neither side can win (...and, for that matter, planting a false memory which gives one Enterprise crew member personal cause for revenge against the Klingons... internet #disinfo, anyone?).

Just when I was starting to enjoy my dialogues with and questions for fElon's GROK, then I am required to pay for the pleasure!!,,,
fuck that.
GROK was becoming a useful tool for me. Especially for sussing out the contunous spewage of AI Slop and the Trump/Bibi war against Iran.
90% of the time it was correctly identifying the fake photos and deliberately mis-sourced videos.
Now we will have to pay fElon for the facts and the rest of us will suffer with the disinfo.
Well done fElon! Fuck you.
