Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...
This is a quote from the article summing up both studies in Technology Review: "A multi-university team of researchers has found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging both Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. The chatbots swayed opinions by citing facts and evidence, but they were not always accurate—in fact, the researchers found, the most persuasive models said the most untrue things."

Only in the tech bro-iverse can you bet an entire company on a concept, to the point of renaming the company for that very concept, then basically abandon that concept, and not only keep your job but see your stock rally.

Man, the Bluesky Wrapped 2025 is pretty brutal
Two screenshots designed in the style of Spotify Wrapped but they're presented as being a (nonexistent) Bluesky Wrapped Screenshot 1: You spent 738 posts on the following topics: 1. Dunking on the New York Times op-ed section 2. Talking about drama at New York Magazine 3. Weighing in on the New York City mayoral election Screenshot 2: Based on this, your most likely place to be located would be: New York, NY Instead, swipe to see where, based on geotagging, you actually live

Federal judge throws out X Corp’s Section 230 challenge to Minnesota’s ban on disseminating deepfakes “with the intent to injure a political candidate or influence the result of an election.”

X’s free speech and vagueness challenges still pending.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
x CORP., Case No. 25-cv-1649 (LMP/DLM) Plaintiff, ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS KEITH ELLISON, in his official capacity as Attorney General of Minnesota, Defendant. Erick G. Kaardal, Mohrman, Kaardal & Erickson, P.A., Minneapolis, MN; Floyd Abrams, Joel Kurtzberg, and Jason David Rozbruch, Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, New York, NY, for Plaintiff. Peter J. Farrell, Janine Kimble, Madeleine DeMeules, and lan Taylor, Jr., Minnesota Attorney General's Office, St. Paul, MIN, for Defendant. Minnesota Statutes Section 609.771 prohibits, under certain circumstances, the dissemination of "deepfakes" with the intent to injure a political candidate or influence the result of an election. Plaintiff X Corp., which operates the social networking service X, alleges that the law, as applied to Corp., is preempted by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 ("CDA").' ECF No. 1 19 71-83. X Corp. therefore brings suit against Keith Ellison, in his official capacity as Attorney General of Minnesota (Attorney General Ellison") and now moves for judgment on the pleadings on its X Corp. also alleges that Section 609.771 violates the First Amendment, the free-speech guarantee of the Minnesota Constitution, and is void for vagueness under the Fourteenth Amendment. See id. 4987-120. The Court previously stayed consideration of those claims pending the Eighth Circuit's decision in Kohls v. Ellison, No. 25-1300 (8th Cir.). ECF No. 29 at 4-5. Section 230 claim. ECF No. 33. Because X Corp. has not plausibly demonstrated Article III standing to bring a pre-enforcement challenge to Section 609.771, X Corp.'s motion is denied, and its Section 230 claim is dismissed without prejudice.

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.
