Welcome to the #AI #Agentic Web :blobaww:

⚠️ Alert on #Youtube's bombardment by #AI surrogate #influencers. Likely 1,000's of #misinformation channels run by who knows what malign actors.

For instance your popular #geopolitical analist cloned by #LLM #deepfake, with nothing that indicates this, or sometimes with an obfuscated disclaimer ("we're fans of").

Some vids are REALLY hard to discern from the real deal, esp. if you do not know the speaker upfront. Only a slight #UncannyValley tells.

Some channels have millions of subscribers.

Florida man sues British Broadcasting Corporation.

President Donald Trump, who was reelected despite the events of January 6th, 2021, has filed a defamation lawsuit against the BBC in his home state of Florida. He’s seeking $10 billion to repair reputational harm allegedly suffered after a misleading edit of his actions prior to the attack on the US Capitol building was broadcast to people living 4,000 miles away.

Here is one such channel. You can complete the deliberately broken link below.

This "America's Future" channel #AI surrogate of #RickWilson has 1.5 million subscribers, and the vid raked in 164k views in 8 hours.

In this channel there's a Disclaimer text, which is exactly the same as on a bunch of other such #deepfakes I encountered. Perhaps the people behind this copy these disclaimers from each other, or we see a larger-scale operation.

these scammers still haven't learned from Chinese spyware: less is more.

Video/4h is unrealistic for a human, nor is flooding the network realistic for non-spyware internet traffic

@lax yes, I wouldn't be surprised if one smart script or app could manage all this in automated fashion "Create 1,000 channels with this and that opinion, who reinforce each other".

I was thinking of this image from the #SouthPark #Warcraft episodes, where they were trolled by a veteran game nerd. This single person might be the paid operator of an entire #troll farm.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist

A futuristic spacecraft is depicted in a dark, atmospheric setting, appearing to be in orbit above a planet. The spacecraft is primarily gray and angular in design, with a complex network of visible panels, antennae, and protruding structures. The rear of the craft is brightly illuminated by a cluster of orange-yellow lights. Below the spacecraft is a blurred, cloud-covered planet, suggesting it's at a high altitude. The background is a gradient of dark blues and purples, indicating a space environment with a distant, faint point of light.
