  1. If a #democracy can be #manipulated by external #disinformation, is the real weakness outside …

    or in the quality of our #feedback?

    #Resilience begins where truth corrects errors faster than propaganda can spread them.

    Frightening. 🙀 Two smart people very much taken in & manipulated & not in a good way. Nothing in common except maybe loneliness; & the first guy’s cat died (sounded like he had no one to talk to about his feelings about that; quite common in our society - no one wants to know about your grief, few have mastered the art of just listening & letting you be sad… gross overstatement, but covers some truth). 😿

    Elon Musk’s X or whatever bit of his empire runs the Grok version of ‘AI LLM agentic thing pretending to be nearly a person’ never responded to enquiries (in their rude & usual arrogance). 😡

    The researcher & reporter ask what are the harms with more subtle cases? 🤔 Feel like we all want to know that… are we in mind control experiments if we use these things… 🤔
    It could be nice to have some reassurances. 😮

  4. @Geri ..to realise they've been on the #NarcissisticRoundabout with them bc they've been lied to, #manipulated #gaslit #exploited & #brainwashed by this immensely powerful #capitalist system, from birth, over generations. like we all have.

    but not everyone has the skills, insight, understanding & intellect to see through all that. it took me 45 yrs to realise even i, a lifelong anarchist punk, was ..

  5. Fighting to defend the integrity of its country,and for the lives of one's citizens is NOT prolonging the war, but FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE AND SURVIVAL when attaqued by a bully

    #Trump, that has the #IQ of an #oyster, is the one being #MANIPULATED BY #Putin, once again

  6. #Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ #JeffreyEpstein #Prison #Video Was Likely Modified

    There is no #evidence the footage was deceptively #manipulated , but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel #conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death.

  7. While #X *eventually* added labels beneath the video indicating the #content had been #manipulated, multiple versions of the clip remain online. In all, posts featuring the video garnered at least 5M views….

    In a political environment awash w/ false claims, including sophisticated #faked videos of prominent figures, the hoax was unusual in that it appeared to draw on open-source research to crudely steal the identity of someone who had a tenuous historical connection to a candidate….

  8. #Trump shared a #manipulated online image of #BillGates in an orange jumpsuit & called for #BarackObama to face a “military tribunal.” He promoted explicit tributes to the #QAnon #ConspiracyTheory. He hawked digital trading cards in an online #infomercial along w/pieces of his debate night suit (“People are calling it the knockout suit”). His campaign feuded publicly w #ArlingtonNationalCemetery.…
    
And that was just in the span of 24hrs.

  9. The video is obviously #manipulated & easily debunked by viewing the unaltered footage, which shows #Harris speaking smoothly, w/o repeating the same words & phrases as portrayed in the doctored video.

    The video, whose origin is unclear, was posted by #Trump himself on Truth Social on Sat, accompanied by a rant in which he calls Harris “DUMB!” & “extremely Low IQ.”

  10. A video is making the rounds claiming to show Romanian fans chanting "putin" during a game against #Ukraine at the Euro 2024. But the clip was doctored with #manipulated audio.

  11. How #Republicans used #CheapFakes to attack #Biden in 24hrs

    #POTUS, who at 81 is decades younger than the vets he honored during Thurs’s D-Day commemoration, nonetheless found his age & fitness in the spotlight as selectively #edited clips of him circulated online.
    
D-Day’s 80th quickly became the latest example of the fast spread of #manipulated videos, highlighting the use of #misinformation [ #disinformation ] & #ConspiracyTheories in politics.

  12. It's also the height of #privilege and #entitlement, that you don't have to care about your #trans compatriots, you don't have to care about the #climate, that you don't have to care about #women and their right to control their own body, etc. You're going to assert your single issue, to the exclusion of all other issues, and even go backwards on that one issue

    Why?

    Because your #emotions are #manipulated. Right here on #Fediverse by #troll farm. #Trollfarms are here, working you over

  13. The company said Friday that it will apply “#MadeWithAI” labels to a range of video, audio & images. Meta’s previous policies against #manipulated #media, which were written in 2020 before the #tech industry’s #AI boom, only applied to video content.

    The expansion follows criticism from #Meta’s #Oversight Board, which called the company’s existing policies “incoherent” in Feb after an altered video of President #Biden remained on #Facebook because it didn’t violate Meta’s rules.
