What ifโ€ฆ
What if you recruited several dozen professional burglars for a promotional stunt? Their instructions could be to carefully replace whatever they stole, during all burglaries, with a copy of 9 Lives, before posting photos of it for social media?

This scheme could also even be staged!

This is disturbing.
On the other hand, I knew someone who was fooled by an amateurishly looped edit of Hillary Clinton repeating what was contrived to appear as a muscle twitch, as a genuine video of her having a seizure.
โ€ฆ
Yeah.

Maybe AI wasn't needed to discredit the veracity of video, after allโ€ฆ

Not bad.
However,
There can (should) be more than one definitionโ€ฆ
After all, some verbs have half-a-dozen, or a dozen separate meanings โ€” or more.

Excellent.
Now, it is up to us to invent a definition for this new and amazing addition to our lexicon.

If I ever use AI, the first thing I will ask of it is to criticize itself.

Trump wants us to get used to the idea of military on the streets before the 2026 elections.
He'll post people outside of polling places, and control the elections by seizing ballot boxes so his administration can count the results.

Britainโ€™s Got Titushki Deep dive into a Whitehall demo about Gaza, organised by fans of Chinese communism and people who want to 'confront Zionism on campus'

Titushki is a Ukrainian term for astroturf groups who disrupt democracy by mobilizing impressionable people into action.
