annifoniSatellite images discloses damages to crucial Iran nuclear websites
y0kaiWhat’s a nuclear website?
Is lemmy nuclear?
talIt’s used through the whole article, not a one-off typo.
This appears to be the original BBC article that is being copied:
www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7808xvv737o
I can only imagine that it’s some kind of AI summarizer gone badly wrong. Or maybe the thing got passed through an automatic translator to another language and then back.
The text reads like a kind of mangled version of the original.
There were a couple other posts this morning to what appears to be another pretend news website. I wonder what the deal is. Ad revenue farming?
I have ad blockers on, so I wouldn’t know if it was. The same user also submitted a similar article on the same domain that looks like it’s been mangled by an LLM that’s a copy of a real article, like this submission. My guess that I put in a comment there was that maybe the aim is to get a bunch of links on link aggregators to the domain to boost its ranking, that the aim is maybe not spamming us but trying to exploit our reputability to spam search engine users down the line. Otherwise, why not have a “news-sounding” domain? Like, this is a domain name you’d choose if you were trying to spam people trying to buy something.
