I’ve been watching ‘The Matter of Facts’ #ABC series with #HamishMcDonald and found it very interesting. In this age of #AISlop and #AIFakes, disinformation warfare and addiction to social media, it is a potent reminder that we are not helpless. We can stop the #TechBros from #algorithmically anialating our ability to discern fact from falacy.

I particularly liked the take on Taiwan where the #Tech is being used against #GenAISlop and #DisInformation to strengthen democracy.

Enjoyable series to watch, waiting for forthcoming episodes.

#Memes in denen der Boss oder #LadyGaga Shirt und Pullover mit der Aufschrift "Hello Denmark, we hate him too" tragen, sehen cool aus, sind aber offenkundig #AIFakes. Und solche Fotos unten, bei denen ich mir nicht sicher bin. Sind die OK, nur weil deren "Inhalt" mir gefällt?
