Meanwhile I had to give up on a conversation with a few fellow Danes just earlier this week because I couldn't get past them simply not believing that the US has made any threats against Denmark or our sovereignty, thanks to even our own press massively downplaying this as some possibly somewhat indiscrete but not all that serious remarks from Trump.
The conversation? Oh, they were arguing in favor of increased military spending in Denmark to protect our soverignty...
@eddiebbot 2/2 the public will understand and accept it. It must dramatize its personality and interpret its objectives in every particular in which it comes into contact with the community (or the nation) of which it is a part. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda

"Imagine if we were able to unify our voices to counter the misinformation. There is so much power in numbers"
So in the past couple of months I have noticed a MASSIVE increase in the amount of AI slop deepfake videos of Rachel Maddow, @rbreich and George Conway among a few others being shoved into my #YouTube recommendations. Clearly the #GenAI #Slop contagion has spread far beyond the MAGAt movement and although not exactly extreme it is definitely tainted by #misinformation and is intended to reinforce one's viewpoint and steer viewers away from critical thinking.
Pretty much everything #Meta and #Google touches right now remind me of the not infested wasteland of Yahoo Chat about 20 years ago. These services have decayed to the point of almost marginal usefulness and their masters have completely given up even putting up the appearance of caring. They don't even over their insipid "sorry you are angry/disappointed/hurt, we will try not to do it again" apologies any more.
I'm starting to get concerned that the #AIBubble is more than just genAI. With this level of decay and open grift we're looking at Major Crash.
@eddiebbot 2/2 of twenty years ago would take place and the public would rise and try to throttle big business with restrictive laws. Business is conscious of the public's conscience. This consciousness has led to a healthy cooperation. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda

This general principle, that men are very largely actuated by motives which they conceal from themselves, is as true of mass as of individual psychology. It is evident that the successful propagandist must understand the true motives and not be content to accept the reasons which men give for what they do. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda

@eddiebbot 2/2 the fact may be that he would really prefer not to be burdened with it, and would rather walk for the sake of his health. He may really want it because it is a symbol of social position, an evidence of his success in business, or a means of pleasing his wife. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda

Is your #youtube algorithm full of Yanis Varoufakis #deepfakes?
Mine is.
It’s really becoming a nuissance. #Varoufakis is one of the most deepfaked persons on youtube, but it’s spreading to others as well. Pro-Russia & Pro-China trolls are most at work.
It’s #Misinformation / #propaganda by flooding the zone, and Google profits from it so they keep it up even after people complain.
Deregulation & market dynamics, our fucking saviour! Not even rights to your own face!

@eddiebbot 2/2 do something more spectacular the day before. Even in his restricted field of public psychology there must always be a wide margin of error. Propaganda, like economics and sociology, can never be an exact science for the reason that its subject-matter, like theirs, deals with human beings. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
