In a new research report, Microsoft said the social media accounts were part of a suspected Chinese information operation. The campaign bore similarities to activity which the US Department of Justice has attributed to "an elite group within (China's) Ministry of Public Security," Microsoft said.

Funny, the CIA uses the old school way of influencing elections with fake accounts to spread disinformation.

I notice the AI hasn’t changed the price of food or gas or utilities. For the non-woke the real world trumps AI.

Yup. Probably work on me just fine. NOT! AI is not your friend. Well, it ain’t my friend anyway.

Before AI and social media it was those confusing Butterfly Ballots.

There are some people who just need to look in the mirror to figure out why they are fooled.

All the big dog Democrats and Lame Street Media are worried about is if Trump interfered with the 2020 election but ignoring the attempts at that made by Russia (and not for Trump)), China (who holds Biden’s IOUs) and North Korea and Iran who just hate Trump and America in general.

Wait. I thought it was the most secure election in history, totally fair, with no foreign interference or manipulation.

What is the world going to do about controlling AI? Every country in the world is now in a breakneck race to outdo the others in AI.
