Sad. Former university professor here. Hope there are lawyers willing to work pro bono to represent scholars falsely accused

What the actual fuck, now we're facing technofascism?

We - the opposition- need better AI of our own

not sure more misinformation is the solution to misinformation

transponder1.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ah - my bad. I agree with you. I’m not a supporter of misinformation at all - just looking to blue to find a message that will resonate and using AI to copy/ mass produce and deliver it in the channels people use / in a format they will consume.

I dunno. I think what we need are tools to detect AI-generated disinformation, and a cultural environment that treats that sort of disinformation with the revulsion it deserves.

Yes - detecting and flushing disinformation is a part of the solution.
But I’m suggesting the blue team figure out what their message/path/plan is - and then GenAI is used to propagate that into people’s feeds.

The problem is we are just as often propgating this form of information. It is easier to blame it on the machine, but much more often this is a social event more than solely a AI linked one.

This sort of shit happening to people who are freely voicing their opinions should alarm every citizen of this country. Since when do we punish someone for having their opinions. We are all going to be targets of this fascist administrations illegal operations. The true enemy is in the WH.😡✊

Is this technofacism or really similar reprecussions to what you are doing right now. I think AI misinformation should definitely be scrutinized, but this problem is one that visibly is not limited to AI and is instead linked to high consequences based on minimal evidence stories

Imagine a world where you can prompt video and photographic "evidence" and audioclips based on a subjects voice.. in a matter og minutes. 😬
