“In the 1930s the BBC Appeased and Even Attempted to Justify the Nazi Regime’s Anti-Semitism – Today It Loves Israel and Zionism - Has Anything Changed?”

Monash University: Moving beyond ‘cyberwashing’ to ensure robust digital security. “A new Monash University report highlights the growing problem of organisations resorting to ‘cyberwashing’ to mislead the public about their data privacy practices and recommends measures to build a genuine culture of cybersecurity.”

AI #search engines cite incorrect sources at an alarming 60% rate, study says

Misinformation has always been present on the internet, but #AI certainly isn't helping here.

Additionally, many AI tools ignored Robot Exclusion Protocol settings. AKA they said that robots.txt doesn't apply to them.

(Grok 3's error rate is 94%, lol.)

I just sat for almost 2 hours listening to absolutely nothing of value with Nicole Wallace in the background.

If #MSNBC wants to retain its viewers, it needs to start talking about the ramifications of what Trump and Musk are doing in specific terms.

The stock market went back up today in anticipation of the CR passing, which it did, and Trump supporters claim he's doing everything right.

I'm pretty much finished with TV "news".

Disinformation more powerful than ever in history. And global.

"One of the strangest dynamics of modern politics is that the richest man in the world chooses to get his information from grifting ignoramuses on social media."

Anyone with an ounce of intelligence understands that, when making decisions, good information is like intellectual gold dust."

“A ceasefire does not mean that Israel has dropped its goal to annihilate Gaza. [..]. But the British public will not be privy to such details - not if they rely on the mainstream media to report them accurately”

This is why it's a pointless exercise to try to "debate" with anyone who's drunk the MAGA koolaid: https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/knowingness-and-the-politics-of-ignorance-deb?r=1rtvr5&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Misinformation is a threat to society and the functioning of democracies worldwide. Psychological booster shots — real world interventions — targeting memory, increase long-term resistance against misinformation.

Awful — "The BBC has seen emails sent to the 82 students informing them that their scholarships have been 'discontinued' due to the termination of... USAID funding."

Afghan women who fled the country and were pursuing higher ed degrees in Oman are to be sent back to Afghanistan within two weeks. What retribution they will face for defying the Taliban?

And guess what? trump admin blames Biden!

Take the "M" out of Manus and it is..

While working on my own local LLM wild claims debunking machine running on an old CPU, I took the risk to let it search the Internet. After a while; it started looking for a "quantum processing MiniPC solution in 2025" because why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

NB : seemingly there is a new hacker group heavily using LLM bots at mo, well done (not) to Meta and the rest !
