Studying confluence of influence operations, disinfo, truth decay, information integrity & policies addressing online harms. Many thoughts, sometimes prayers.
"Writing or speaking in November, Dame/Prof Anne Salmond, and the Secretary General of Amnesty International Agnes Callamard simply re-affirm what my grounded analysis of social media discourse patterns, and far-right network behaviours, and path-dependencies documented several months prior..."

Since '22, I've documented how incarcerated individuals have used court appearances, phone calls, & voice notes somehow recorded, & then uploaded to social media to instigate even more of what they are charged with incl. targeted hate, & violence. Dept. of Corrections seems oblivious to all this. 🤷‍♂️

Luxon himself handed me the Prime Minister's science prize last year. Let me say this in plain English: he's an idiot for running a govt who budgeted more for AI than for the Marsden fund. any journo reading this can quote me on it #nzpol

It’s a reasoning logic I’ve never seen before. Everything it discovers from sources it’s hardcoded to not cite from, it says it has to find alternatives to. Unprecedented openings for corrupting epistemic foundations through narrative & source injections Grok will favour over credible sources. Mad.

I do not see *any* indication in what is a daily study of this landscape that things will get better - esp. without concerted, official efforts redoubling what was done to address the infodemic during height of Covid-19. It’s now mutated, impacting at scale public perceptions of health, & science.
