An Acclaimed Book About Digital #Manipulation Was Actually Written by #AI

#Italian essayist Andrea #Colamedici tells WIRED #Hypnocracy : #Trump , #Musk , and the New Architecture of Reality was a “philosophical experiment and a performance.” The book’s Chinese author does not exist.

WIRED · An Acclaimed Book About Digital Manipulation Was Actually Written by AIBy Anna Lagos
Replied in thread

"Given that it was specifically done as a scientific experiment designed to change people’s minds on controversial topics, the experiment is one of the wildest and most troubling types of AI-powered incursions into human social media spaces we have seen or reported on."

Clearly something is amiss. While we can resent the ‘plc’ that is Reform (actually a wee bit more complex) from a rational point of view, this apparent manipulation and corruption nfrom across the divide needs an explanation.

The Guardian · Teaching union reverses Matt Wrack appointment ahead of legal challengeBy Richard Adams

Is it just me, or is #SocialMedia as a concept broken? I know this is not true for everyone, but for basically everyone I know IRL social media is at best a mild #distraction. It's a tool for #dissociation, like TV was.

Only on top of that, it promotes #anxiety and #envy because it enables constant comparison to impossible standards in any part of life.

And on top of that it enables #manipulation of societies and #politics through automated flooding and gaming of the recommendation algorithms.

Das wichtige an der Meldung ist nicht 'hatte Messer bei sich' , sondern 'keine Anzeichen, dass Opfer Polizisten mit Messer bedrohte'.
Warum wird hier #populistische #Manipulation betrieben und die zentrale Aussage des Artikels ins Gegenteil verkehrt?
Das ist nicht die Aufgabe der #viertengewalt , wenn #Polizeiversagen und #Polizeigewalt im Raum stehen.

A fair comment about the weakness of the speaker of the House of Commons even from Matthew Paris.

Hoyle has claimed to ‘speak truth to power’. As his treatment of the #SNP, Diane #Abbott and even Rosie #Duffield (although I disagree vehemently with her views) Has shown he is merely a lickspittle who should be removed from his position. It would also represent a significant saving in spurious expenses.

Weiß eigentlich von euch jemand wie dieser online - #MitgliederEntscheid der #SPD abläuft ?

Wird der aktuelle Stand der Entscheidungen allen Wählenden angezeigt ?

Kann mensch sich da seine eigene Entscheidung ausdrucken lassen ?

Gibt es irgendeine unabhängige Sammelstelle wo diese Ausdrucke dann hingeschickt werden können zwecks Abgleich mit dem offiziellen #Endergebnis ?

Weil, naja, eine #Wahl so ganz ohne #Wahlbeobachter_innen lädt ja auch geradezu zur #Manipulation ein, nich wa ?!

Gedanken: Lobbyorganisation und Medien


Heute habe ich auf SWR Aktuell schon zwei mal vom 'Lobbyverband Haus- und Grund' gehört, ja das wurde so genannt. Ich frage mich warum nicht im Öffentlich Rechtlichen Rundfunk entsprechende Verbände generell so benannt werden, besonders wenn kommerzielle Interessen dahinter stecken. Z. B. gerade beim Bund der Steuerzahler (der eben nicht den normalen Steuerzahler vertritt) aber auch vielen anderen wäre das äußerst angebracht.
