The text generator generates text. If you ask it for persuasive text, it generates text that is more persuasive. The text generator cannot lie, or tell the truth—it just generates text. Every time we say “the bot lied” we are misleading ourselves.
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...

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

This would explain why so many voters seem keen to hurtle headlong back there.
Ah the 1970s.
Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

I see the Scumbag Trump White House has co-opted a Taylor Swift song for one of their hideous propaganda clips. If she’s smart she’ll not walk into that trap and let her fans take care of the (right and proper) condemnation.

I don't even like Rachel Reeves, but it's interesting that when it's getting a little more money from the rich it's treated as a raid, as if the Chancellor is robbing a bank. But when it's slashing benefits for the poorest in society, it's treated as responsible, and willing to make tough decisions.
