None of these people exist, but you can buy their books on Amazon anyway. Here's an article on Amazon authors with GAN-generated faces and the books these authors publish (which appear to be almost entirely devoid of original human-created content).

Cryptocurrency/NFT spam from blue check accounts has become a recurring theme of advertising on X/Twitter in recent months. I kept track of the crypto spam ads I was served over the course of two days and did some analysis of the accounts involved.

Die Reaktionen der AfD-Fans auf die Enthüllungen der AfD-Geheimpläne, auch deutsche Bürger millionenfach zu deportieren, sind entlarvend.

Einige leugnen alles & schimpfen auf Staat & Medien

Andere bestätigen es komplett und sehnen sich danach.

Viele schaffen es sogar, beides gleichzeitig zu tun.

The celebrity quote campaign that Reset exposed last month continues to run unhinged on Facebook with a slight change of tactics. The ads now literally put words in famous people's mouths by promoting footage of actual interviews w/ fake audio dubbed on top via text-to-speech apps.
