Memes and conflict: Study shows surge of imagery and fakes can precede international and political violence Visual content, including manipulated images, is a staple of propaganda and political messaging. AI analysis shows that a surge of these memes can precede the outbreak of wide-scale violence.

Russia used manipulated images to justify the invasion of Ukraine. A new study reveals a 9,000% increase in posts and 5,000% surge in manipulated images from Russian milbloggers in the 2 weeks before the invasion.

How #AI tools and humans team up to analyze social media content:

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Bearly Politics (@i_ratus ). The tweet reads: “‘Yes, you’re wearing a suit, BUT DID YOU EVEN SAY THANK YOU?!’” Below the tweet, there is an image of three individuals in a formal setting, with two of them seated on ornate yellow chairs and gesturing with their hands. A penguin is standing on one of the chairs, dressed in a small suit. The background includes a fireplace, a flag, and other decorative elements, suggesting a formal or official room.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named David Roberts (@volts .wtf). The post reads: "The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It’s not a public act, it’s not a schtick, there’s not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people."

This is the simplest and most obvious explanation.

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.
