Who is in charge of this war? Not the congress, and now it seems not the president.

We need a more powerful EU.

Iran used Chinese spy satellite to target US bases Leaked documents show IRGC secretly acquired system and used it to guide strikes during war in March

Help me understand: China helps Iran targeting US bases with their satellites, but we cannot help Ukraine against Russia. The reason given is "russia nuclear weapons". What about US nuclear weapons? Are they less scary?

Talking about a more realistic scenario: imagine Margot Robbie falling deeply in love with me. Just imagine.

This looks like institutionalized post disinformation. Not just contesting results, but weakening the conditions that make outcomes binding. In 2020 institutions still closed the conflict. Now the risk is a system where closure no longer holds.

Sure. But in this specific example they pulled it from a scientific repository, not from social media.

That's where I believe we should focus. How easy is it to publish bogus papers on these repositories? Anyone could have picked them, not only AI systems.

What this article seems to be saying is that someone deliberately polluted a scientific database with bogus papers, only to then discover that AI systems picked them. But isn’t that exactly how AI is supposed to work, pulling from sources we assume are reliable? Maybe we’re missing the real problem.

There’s a crucial angle that’s rarely discussed: what is the U.S. Congress actually doing to protect NATO? Everyone is focused on Trump, but what are Democrats and Republicans doing to support the Alliance? Their silence speaks volumes.

Short answer : no, it's not.

True. And dressing everything with fascism helps it hiding in society.

I wonder how historians will cover this period of time in the future.

Interesting, how this can be done?

Interesting, but how much of that growth on 'traditional' social networks was actually driven by bots and synthetic accounts?

Hybrid networks exploit vulnerable urban contexts, using low-skill actors, minimal costs, and online platforms like Snapchat. A pattern of outsourced, scalable micro-terrorism is emerging, changing how violence is organized.

In an Asymmetrical War, Iran Seeks an Edge With Its Information War

Iran’s information warfare and disinformation campaigns largely predated the current war. It was the best-kept open secret that everyone chose to ignore.

A Dangerous New Home for Online Extremism Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, or DAOs, offer independently-minded internet users a safe haven—but it’s also a boon to those with a darker purpose.

The informational ecosystem is becoming increasingly fluid, with boundaries dissolving. The rise of DAOs points to a deeper shift: the emergence of self-organized systems that can define and enforce their own rules, without relying on shared institutional authority.

How Nick Fuentes Is Charming the Left Viral clips of the far-right white supremacist make him palatable to progressives.

What’s striking here is that Fuentes is employing the same tactics Russia has used against Western democracies for the past 20 years. He knows that each side will only latch onto the parts of the message they agree with and dismiss the rest.

The Creator Economy Wasn’t the Real Disruption Why the shift from celebrities to creators was only the beginning, and what happens when nothing stays relevant long enough to matter

If relevance no longer accumulates in a stable way, then recognition becomes less reliable as a foundation. What worked yesterday does not extend into today. The system still registers the past, but it no longer translates it into durable position.

The Creator Economy Wasn’t the Real Disruption Why the shift from celebrities to creators was only the beginning, and what happens when nothing stays relevant long enough to matter

We thought the shift from celebrities to creators explained how the media ecosystem works today. That is no longer enough. Relevance does not accumulate and hold as it once did, it is continuously recalculated.

Producing Knowledge Faster Than Humans Can Understand It Artificial intelligence is accelerating the production of ideas. Understanding them still takes time

For centuries, producing knowledge required time. The effort of research, reading, and writing also created understanding.

Generative AI changes that balance.

Results can now appear before the reasoning behind them has fully settled in the mind.

Producing Knowledge Faster Than Humans Can Understand It Artificial intelligence is accelerating the production of ideas. Understanding them still takes time

When we read a book, the mind spends hours engaging with a single topic. Connections emerge, and ideas slowly reshape the way we think.

AI can now produce analyses in seconds. The interesting question is what happens between those two speeds.

Producing Knowledge Faster Than Humans Can Understand It Artificial intelligence is accelerating the production of ideas. Understanding them still takes time

Generative AI can now produce analyses and structured arguments almost instantly. Human understanding still grows through slower cycles of reading, reflection, and connection.

What happens when ideas appear before the mind has had time to absorb them?

The Next Disinformation Battlefield Is Private AI companions, synthetic friends and the rise of the epistemic cocoon

Much of the debate on disinformation still assumes that manipulation spreads through public platforms. When people increasingly turn to conversational systems to interpret events, political influence can move from public feeds into private dialogue
