This feels like less a story about the power of AI and more a story about how it’s easy to change someone’s mind if you’re willing to lie with sociopathic confidence.
New research suggests AI chatbots can shift people’s political views more effectively than campaign ads on TV.
However, researchers are concerned AI companies could “set the models up to push for one side or another.”

Voters’ minds are hard to change. AI chatbots are surprisingly good at it.

Not to carry any water for Netflix lighting, but it is weird how ten to fifteen years ago, half of movies were just like “throw a sickly green pallor on that bad boy!”

Bit of an unforced error on Durham County’s part to be like, “Show up for jury duty *by* 8:30,” and then be like “Jk/lol, if you get here early, we’re gonna make you stand in the rain.”

On top of just the straightforward ghoulishness of it all, 250 arrests doesn’t seem like all that much for the amount of effort they put in.
The U.S. Border Patrol made over 250 arrests and clashed with protesters in Charlotte, North Carolina, during their weeklong operation that began on Nov. 15.
Federal officials have offered few details about those arrested, or when and where agents will show up next. https://wapo.st/47YGYn3
