Seen AI Jim Ratcliffe being chased by AI Laura Kuenssberg recently? It's part of a populist scam network operating, with fraudsters changing narratives to keep up with the zeitgeist

Blowing my own trumpet incessantly on this I'll confess but it's part of this network/pattern (also on Facebook)! ft.com/content/bacf81cc-3340…
This is part of the same tactic (and probably network) that flooded the site with Andrew Bailey/Nigel Farage content; the links to Amazon etc seem to be a tactic to disguise the scam ads to get through moderation.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

QUICK now do crypto and your role in promulgating it!
Currently working on research on this but pretty sure it’s from a KiwiFarms post which was posted here by the CEO! Truly a reputable source for insight into troublesome subcontinentals.

White people think they're so savvy for knowing some Indian words. I know plenty of white words. I speak their whole fucking language. I take their resources and live in their country too. Which of us is the sophisticated cosmopolitan now?

Following the horrific killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti by ICE and Border Patrol agents in Minnesota, "Commander at Large" Gregory Bovino was reassigned away from his leadership role in the operation.
Journalist Amanda Moore, who has spent months documenting Bovino's activities, notes the violent culture and widespread fear he helped create won't be so easily removed.
Watch @noturtlesoup17's report on Bovino's legacy:
Isn't there a parallel to Cambridge Analytica folks who left and made a career off of saying "we were doing mind control" when it was pretty dubious that any of the stuff had a meaningful impact?
This in particular is part of a populist scam set I wrote about! ft.com/content/bacf81cc-3340…
200 bots is not “flooding” the platform! (Obviously this is part of a larger influence op but we don’t know how many people saw these accounts, how long they were up, etc)
If you've been on social media at all over the past few months, you've probably seen the Farage-Bailey AI scam. For @ftmoney, I took a dive into the world of fraudsters turning institutional distrust into a winning sales pitch. bit.ly/4iqF4kz
After years of obfuscation, lies and very clear negative consequences as a result of Big Tech, it seems very obvious and healthy that people should not buy the "we're here to save you and coincidentally we're the new philosopher kings" schtick at face value.
This account, now rebranded as an anti-Indian geopolitical "news writer", is simply a political activist which supports the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (linked to killings of Hindus by Amnesty).

That's a very strange hallucination...the link goes to a fake BBC article.
I saw the same ads from this account this morning though they've since been deleted xitter.cf/philipvorel
