Every once in a while I’ll have AI summarize an article I’ve already written and published and every time it gets so much wrong that I’m beyond wondering if this technology is useful (it’s not) and am now wondering what exactly this technology is even *doing*

How MAGA Killed Foreign Influence Research, But Now Demands Social Media Stop Foreign Influence Campaigns
It's fascinating how quickly the tune changes when the shoe's on the other foot. For years, we've been treated to endless screaming about how any effort to identify and counter foreign manipulation on social media was "censorship" and a violation of Americans' free speech rights. The same crowd that turned researchers into pariahs and shut down entire government offices dedicated to studying foreign influence operations are now… demanding that social media platforms identify foreign accounts?

Exclusive: Harvard leaders have discussed creating a center for conservative scholarship as the school fights the Trump administration’s accusations that it is too liberal.
