Wow, my #AoIR2025 in Brazil was intense. Is there a word for when something drains you and energizes you simultaneously? If "exhurgizing" isn't a word yet, it needs to be.

This morning at #AoIR2025 in Niterói 🇧🇷 I presented a study that’s a joint effort with @fabiogiglietto.bsky.social and colleagues. We examined how deceptive info operations evolve through cycles of trial & adaptation testing which tactics stick.
