Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.
NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Get serious, Europeans. You are your only hope.
"EU imports from Russia worth €124 billion have exceeded the amount of aid provided to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion." - stated Sweden’s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard.

We're kinda stuck with bad ideas about Europe in Europe. The Merkel doctrine relied on Russia. The Polish alternative relied on a trustworthy United States. Only the French proposed and argued for a Europe as its own thing. But the French are too busy being French to lead us right now.

Googlen datakeskus maksoi nolla euroa yhteisöveroja ja koko potti romahti – ”Olisin odottanut enemmän”
Datakeskusyhtiöt maksoivat viime vuonna niin vähän yhteisöveroja, että alan lobbarikin yllättyi. Muutoksen taustalla ovat jätti-investoinnit ja veroporkkana.

Am reminded of what one Ukrainian colleague wrote me after the Feb 28 white house debacle:
‘We used to so admire the Americans. They were our great role model. Now look what wimps they really are. So eager to surrender to Russia, but nobody’s even shooting at them. What have we to learn from them?’

And also to scientists writing press releases, too - calling something "AI" when it was actually your student spending 12 months fitting and validating a model is disingenuous

Syytä jakaa laajalle. Tiedevastaisuus tulee kalliimmaksi, kuin rahalla voi edes mitata.
Sille on syynsä, miksi keskiajalta lähtien tiede on tehnyt esiinmarssia maailmanlaajuisesti ja pyyhkinyt taikauskoa syrjään.
Tämä samalla selittää sen, miksi populistit jahtaavat ja kyseenalaistavat tiedettä.
