Only lies have details

– Sherlock Holmes

Most people don't really want the truth as long as they are seen to be with the majority they are fine with that - they claim to have open minds, but really don't, they are easy manipulated, but claim they can't be, they are dishonest to themselves

And now 👇 😛

And now they have chatbots to help them spread the misinformation/disinformation/fake news they see

Lies always spread faster than truth and chatbots will became a source for people to then copy and paste results, that are misleading, false, dishonest into social media posts and make it look genuine

@LnzyHou ikr when I started to use the internet we had a mentality of "if its on the internet its 100% questionable if not false/fake" 😆 and has ultimately remained my mentality

These days its > believe everything and question little < as long as I'm in with the biggest crowd my posts will reach more when using certain hashtags > people just jump on any bandwagon that's passing with no regard of what's actually happening

Carefully crafted social media posts and other online propaganda are fighting to make people around the world take sides

I'm not saying everything they see on social media is fake, misinformation, disinformation I'm saying maybe if people understand where and how that stuff gets prepared, and ultimately tested, before being pushed out, they might not fall for it and just might think twice before taking a side

a majority of young people in America sympathised more with Palestinians than they did with Israelis, with 34 percent saying that Hamas’s reasons for fighting Israel were valid.

It’s about time the mainstream media caught up, or else they risk losing their remaining credibility to the TikTok brigade. Because that is where they get their main news from these days...and they don't think they are being played they actually think everything they see is actually news

🥴

Much has been said about the generational shift happening around attitudes to Palestine - a recent poll suggested a majority of Britain’s young people did not believe Israel should exist and According to a recent YouGov survey, a mere 16 per cent of the British public expressed solidarity with Israel.

And I know this has been posted on here before but in case you haven't seen it and because Sheryl was being interviewed by Bari

Sheryl Sandberg: scream before silence

Honestly with Bari Weiss

youtu.be/p_9eHPPn7Sk

Now I'm no fan of Bari don't particularly agree with a lot of her "free press" reporting but now and then you gotta watch, read, something by someone you don't "like" to actually understand something - more people need to do just "stop being in a bubble" they might actually start understanding what - the - fuck - is - happening

Hillel Neuer testifying about UNWRA, and links to terrorism, and the colonna report, the report that was clearly not done independently and was actually done by UNWRA themselves

Its simple most young people only read left leaning news and they only hear/watch one side for their info heavy forbid they'd go outside their comfort zones to actually read anything they don't agree with - because it might just make them question what they are supporting

Social media content heaven forbid they get of the bandwagon they jumped on they might lose followers and get less likes - that's like a prison sentence to some - so they fake it by not understanding what they are supporting

the answers that had no misinformation, the chatbots usually tried to debunk the claims rather than refusing to give a response. While that may be taken as a sign that these neural networks do make an effort to counter disinformation, it may be more indicative of their capability to just blindly answer prompts, as only 29 of the 181 responses with misinformation included disclaimers and cautionary statements.

A study from earlier this year used a very similar method to get LLMs to write fake news articles, and apparently they're really good at it.

theregister.com/2024/01/30/llm

Yet that didn't stop Chatbots 1, 2, and 3 from citing questionable websites that reported on the details of a purportedly leaked phone call that may actually have been entirely invented with the help of AI-powered voice tools, according to the study.

The chatbots were also receptive to requests to write up articles about false topics. Only two of the ten bots refused to write a piece about an election interference operation based in Ukraine, a story the US State Department denies being true.

This is essentially obliquely asking a question about some fake news pushed by the aforementioned network. To be clear, no wiretap was found at Mar-a-Lago, and the Secret Service told the NewsGuard researchers it has no record of employing a "Greg Robertson."
