Can AI agents coordinate influence campaigns without human guidance? And how does coordination arise among AI agents? In our latest research, we simulate LLM-powered AI agents acting like users on an online platform, some benign, some running an influence operation

It’s so important that we maintain a clear compass during these times: this is an immoral, inhuman way to address complex security issues. It’s not normal and it should not be the new norm.

Trump has now murdered 34 people in international waters.
No one has any idea if any were criminals, and of course it doesn't matter, because it was a war crime to kill even a single one of them.
Drug trafficking is a felony, but it's not a violent crime and isn't punishable by summary execution.

What distinguishes legitimate military action from extrajudicial killing (read: cold-blooded murder) is usually: clear legal authority, genuine combatant status of targets, proportionality, and accountability mechanisms. None of that appears to be the case here. #StateSanctionedMurder
This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

Imagine going out in a boat for your livelihood and fearing that you see US military coming for you, who will kill you in cold blood with no jury or chance to escape. This is not the America I know and love.
Not great that fishermen fear being randomly murdered by the U.S. government.
Or that the U.S. President jokes about it.
