Turns out this thing that US funded orgs like RFA and NED do around the world is an attack on democracy. Who knew!

“Covert attempts to sow division and trick Americans into unwittingly consuming foreign propaganda represents attacks on our democracy,” said FBI director Christopher A. Wray. “Today’s actions show that as long as foreign adversaries like Russia keep engaging in hostile influence campaigns, they are going to keep running into the FBI. We will continue to do everything we can to expose the hidden hand of foreign adversaries like Russia and disrupt their efforts to meddle in our free and open society.”

So this article was getting a lot of traction yesterday amongst #AI "haters."

I thought it would help me make an argument I need for a scientific presentation I am preparing, but, as usual (sadly), reading the article carefully and reading the report it derives from shows that people's enjoyment AI hate is more often based on headlines than on detailed reading. smh
