X’s #Community Notes is Spreading False Information About #TaylorSwift’s #Bodyguard

Source: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/10/20/xs-community-notes-is-spreading-false-information-about-taylor-swifts-bodyguard/

The original tweet from the State of #Israel’s official account has received more than 53 million views. At the time of this writing, the first Community Note containing the false information about Swift’s bodyguard had over 650,000 views and the second one, which is still public, has over 1.4 million views. Taken together, this appears to show how lots of people can be shown Community Notes which do not add clarification but, in fact, add falsehoods to a post.

"Um 12.05 Uhr an jenem Morgen des 28. September postet der ehemalige slowakische #Verfassungsrichter und #Ex-Jus­tiz­minister Štefan #Harabin das #Tódová-Video auf seinem Kanal im Messenger-Dienst Telegram. Harabin ist einer der bekanntesten kremlnahen Politiker der Slowakei. Er verteidigte die Annexion der #Krim, am Tag nach dem Überfall auf die Ukraine schrieb er auf Facebook, er würde „genau das Gleiche tun wie Putin“."

Behind a Secretive Global Network of Non-Consensual #Deepfake #Pornography

This #investigation also uncovered a fake #Clothoff CEO who was, in fact, an #AI -generated #image. The fake CEO notwithstanding, a trail of open source records reveals a loose #network of real companies with real people attached to them behind Clothoff, #Nudify, #Undress, and #DrawNudes.

British #monarchy rocked by bad #Photoshop job / Someone appears to be indulging in the arts of #Adobe poorly. And that someone is the #princess, herself.

Prior to Middleton’s admission, the photo raised some questions. It was certainly possible that it was just a shitty Photoshop used to stitch together several photos so that the best expression on each person’s face was used. (Children are notorious for being difficult to photograph.) But the job is so clumsy, particularly around the hands, that one had to wonder if the intent was to keep us all talking about Middleton’s prolonged absence.

For a family obsessed with image you’d think they’d edit better.

Vigilantes Guardian Angles


#cartoon by Bill #Bramhall

New York City's Guardian Angels tackled a man to the ground they claimed was a migrant who was caught shoplifting during a live TV interview, but later said they have no proof of the claims.

Police would only say the man was allegedly trying to disrupt the broadcast and did not comment on the claims he was a migrant shoplifter.

The encounter happened Tuesday as group founder Curtis Sliwa was doing a live television interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity about migrant crime in New York City. ...

#AI - based #disinformation is probably not a major #threat to #democracy

source: https://www.conspicuouscognition.com/p/ai-based-disinformation-is-probably

Second, to succeed in such markets, content producers must achieve a good reputation (in the eyes of their target audience). One of many things that makes this really hard is that it is strongly in the interests of your competitors to destroy your reputation. In addition to legal accountability for lies and fabrications, this is one thing that keeps lots of media honest, at least when it comes to reporting on narrow matters of fact.

AI-based disinformation is probably not a major threat to democracy

Alarmism surrounding this topic is driven by popular but mistaken views about psychology, democracies, and disinformation.

I got kicked out of an "off-grid prepper group" for noticing this article is misleading. The guy in the article didn't "build" a cabin - he simply "renovated" an existing #cabin.

https://offgridlivingsurvival.net/how-to-build-a-log-cabin-for-10k/

The admin is a fake. He's never built anything but a following. All talk. it's all "what I'm gonna do when I...." But be sure to subscribe to his glossy online magazine..... ;)

I kept thinking, eventually, he'll post something about what he's done as a #prepper ......but....nothing. His daddy was mean to him, so now he knows bush survival....and that's it. no chickens, no garden, no tools, no land, no solar power, nothing.

How To Build A Log Cabin For $10k - Off Grid Living & Survival

Many people dream of their own off grid cabin, but the cost of building one can make it seem impossible to realize that dream. There are so many costs

Awards are Gay and Literally Fake

#ESPN was caught winning more than 30 Emmy Awards for individuals who are imaginary employees of the #Disney network:

In March 2023, Shelley Smith, who worked 26 years as an on-air reporter for ESPN, received a call from Stephanie Druley, then the network’s head of studio and event production. Druley said she wanted to talk about something “serious” that needed to stay between the two of them, Smith recalled. She then told Smith that Smith needed to return two sports #Emmy statuettes that she had been given more than a decade earlier.

That request was one of many ESPN made of some of its biggest stars last year after the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), the organization that administers the Emmys, uncovered a scheme that the network used to acquire more than 30 of the coveted statuettes for on-air talent ineligible to receive them. Since at least 2010, ESPN inserted #fake names in Emmy entries, then took the awards won by some of those #imaginary #individuals, had them re-engraved and gave them to on-air personalities… The #fraud was discovered by #NATAS, which prompted an investigation by that organization and later by ESPN.

Sadly, it turns out that the legendary, award-winning broadcasters Kirk Henry, Lee Clark, and Dirk Howard don’t even exist.

Now, I’m fairly notorious for my indifference to awards. I’ve understood that most of them are nothing but popularity contests or marketing tools since my junior year of high school. And that’s not sour grapes or anything; I declined my high school’s attempt to invent a fake award when the soccer team coach wrongly felt I’d been robbed when the MVP award went to the spiritual leader of our undefeated team instead of to the leading scorer.

But a lot of people take them seriously even though they prove absolutely nothing about excellence or quality. And even if you weren’t convinced of that by the Sad/Rabid Puppies campaigns, or the fact that Mark Clifton and Frank Riley won the 1955 #Hugo #Award for their unforgettable novel They’d Rather Be Right over some little book written by an English professor called The Lord of the Rings, I should hope that ESPN winning 30 Emmies for people who don’t even exist would suffice.
