I spent some time with OpenAI's new AI video app Sora. Not just slop but ragebait, fake crimes and women splattered with white goo. The implications of all of this are horrifying.

Τι είναι οι "φήμες-άλλοθι" που κατασκευάζει η ρωσική μηχανή προπαγάνδας στην προσπάθεια του Κρεμλίνου να αρνηθεί την ευθύνη για τα εγκλήματα που διαπράττει κατά Ουκρανών αμάχων και να κατηγορήσει το Κίεβο για προβοκάτσια.

Ήταν ένα ρεπορτάζ χωρίς κάποια τεράστια αποκάλυψη, επομένως περιμέναμε ότι θα ενδιέφερε κυρίως όσους ασχολούνται με τα τραπεζικά. Οι αντιδράσεις που πυροδότησε από μερίδα του Τύπου όμως, λένε μια άλλη ιστορία.

Each hesitant, uncoordinated European response only encourages Moscow. Excuses play into the Kremlin’s hands. Russia’s strategy is clear: provoke, divide, confuse with propaganda. Europe must stop falling for it.

When will Germany and Europe finally learn that Putin only understands one language: firmness and consequence? Repeated drone incursions and missile threats into NATO airspace are no “technical errors.” They are deliberate tests of our air defences, our unity, our will.

Welcome to Issue 204 of The Continent

Trafficking of African women into abusive domestic work remains rampant. This week we reveal a man moving women from Zambia to Pakistan — where they're exploited. Authorities know, but he's walking free.

The cover of Issue 204 of The Continent is an illustration by Wynona Mutisi. It depicts a man in a dark shirt, shown in cool blue and purple tones. The background is filled with travel-related items: a boarding pass, a Zambian passport, and a Pakistani passport. The boarding pass a flight from Karachi to Lusaka, indicates international travel.
Overlaying the man are text message bubbles, indicating a conversation. "Give me back my passport... I want to go home." The response is "$450 release fee."
