Everything about Haylen’s scandal-plagued ministerial career seemed defined by the fact she did not have a career before politics. Labor party machine mentality transferred to high office at a time when public scepticism of politicians has never been higher.

A totally generous review of Mean Streak in the latest edition of Aus Book Review from Eve Vincent. It contains more than a few gems that make sense to me now but that I hadn't considered. www.australianbookreview.com.au/abr-online/c...

I guess what I am trying to say, computational propaganda is no longer about twitter bots. Who needs those if you can feed it at scale to all the devices made in China? Another part of the problem is that academia at least is ill-positioned to uncover those issues. Ok, this will be a bit of a rant ⬇️
It appears Onyx Boox deployed Doubao (at least, that's the chatbot of ByteDance and the reports say Onyx used ByteDance' chatbot), which is the most popular chatbot in China. I asked it a bunch of questions about China and Russia and the answers are as bad as you could imagine (screenshots⬇️)
