As everyone already knew, "Russia is not my enemy" was hardly an organic campaign.
Ahh damn. I had my hopes that physically targeting would have had an effect.
Unfortunately, this is misinformation. There is no evidence that Russian propaganda bot traffic fell.

What is Vatnik Soup? What is a “vatnik”? And why do we “soup” them?

Tucker gets absolutely schooled on the Budapest Memorandum and the myth of “no NATO expansion.” He literally crumbles when faced with basic facts, as does every Russian propagandist. Glorious.
TheDisinformationObserver retweeted
Tucker Carlson lying as usual. NATO has *always* had borders with russia, the Budapest Memorandum was signed in 1994, and russia recognized Ukraine's borders again in 2004. The "subsequent verbal agreement" was a discussion with...the Soviet Union, which no longer exists, in 1990

The Kremlin-backed Matryoshka bot network is weaponizing the FlyDubai incident to smear the US Democratic Party in increasingly bizarre ways.
The goal remains the same: seeking to influence the upcoming US midterm elections.

Taiwan’s Coast Guard used a water cannon to drive two Chinese fishing boats away from waters near the Dongsha Islands, citing concerns over unauthorised activity and asserting Taiwan’s jurisdiction in the area.

Ukrainian children unlawfully taken from occupied Ukraine. Forcibly transferred to Russia. Separated from their country and identity.
‘Rescue’ is the Kremlin’s word. War crime is the legal category.

As severe flooding inundated parts of Bangkok in late September, a video of a long-tail boat cruising on a submerged street circulated online. Although rescuers had to resort to inflatables and small boats, AFP found the footage was generated using AI.

I’d like to approach this as an indication of human use case issues.
Automation Bias and Fatigue: When AI handles most of the work, cognitive fatigue sets in and causes humans to blindly trust the output without really looking.
The "Diff" Blindness: Proofreading an AI's completed draft is psychologically grueling because our brains automatically fill in missing details and miss obvious mistakes.
Diffusion of Responsibility: Because everyone assumes someone else verified the final product, accountability vanishes and errors slip right through.
The so what is if we keep treating 'human-in-the-loop' as a box to check instead of an actual speed bump, we're just building a conveyor belt for garbage.

Last week holds 13 visually confirmed 🇷🇺 material losses in 🇺🇦, sharp 📉 from 24 the week before (initially, now 25) — although rather insignificant fluctuation when put into perspective:
2⃣0⃣2⃣5 : 52
2⃣0⃣2⃣4 : 169
2⃣0⃣2⃣3 : 89
2⃣0⃣2⃣2 : 181

Fake News posts like this really show me how entrenched people are in their beliefs, and how they will blindly believe whatever users caption a video.
@YosephHaddad quite literally never says the fabricated quote in the accompanying video.
The debunk is the post itself.
Interesting looking "rocket."
Also, interesting looking refugee camp.
Sigh, another problematic lie.

Online posts are sharing clipped footage of Hillary Clinton, falsely claiming the former US secretary of state told Taiwan to "abandon resistance". We reviewed the full interview and found she made no such remarks u.afp.com/S9ci
