Israel is giving Trump's former campaign manager millions of dollars to fill the internet with pro-Israel articles written by AI, not so that anyone will actually read them, but so that *LLMs will train on them* & regurgitate their perspective. This is the future of the information environment.

Tricking AI chatbots by lying about hot dogs sounds fun! Now read about a Russian operation with an annual publishing rate of at least 3.6 million pro-Russia articles. It is not designed for access by human eyes which implies it is there to influence AI chatbots thebulletin.org/2025/03/russ...

Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine HeymansDid I travel all the way to #JodrellBank this morning for a 5min TV interview? Yes reader, I did. Did I then persuade the fab e-MERLIN Director Simon Garrington to let me climb inside the Lovell Telescope? Well, if you can't flex a Royal title occasionally, then what is the point of having it? 😇🔭🧪
Unequal capitalist societies survive on the lie certain things are inevitable. Millions will always be hungry. Some sleep on the street. Old age and disability means not having a regular wash. Burnham admits they’re political choices. So, what’s next? My col: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Alex Jones, who has not paid a single cent to the Sandy Hook families despite owing them $1.4 billion, has been in a $3,000 per night suite in Hawaii for the last few weeks illegally using the InfoWars accounts to boost his traffic. Today he said there's going to be a national draft in three weeks.
🧵 This piece is really important, because it gets to something that is a prerequisite for and recurring feature of atrocities worldwide: selective empathy. Most people assume that when atrocities happen, it’s bc everyone involved is a sociopath. Some are. But not all. 1/
Greg SargentWhen Elon Musk says "zero" children died in Africa from his DOGE cuts, he really means zero children died who are *worthy of any concern.* It's vile coded signaling to his global fascist audience. From me and @polphilpod.bsky.social, a deep dive into Musk's fascism: newrepublic.com/article/2135...

Ben ZarankoSensible policy klaxon 🚨 Currently, if a 16 year old chooses to stay in school/college, their family can keep claiming benefits as before (notably child benefit). If they opt for an apprenticeship, the benefits stop. The system discourages apprenticeships. The DWP just announced a fix 🧵
False reports about migrant care workers came from Conservative party 'research' The Times was forced to issue a correction after claiming 12 workers from Cameroon brought 180 dependants to UK
It's going to take investment, but if that's accompanied by enthusiasm it could well work. #BBCPM
