Capture d'ecran d'un message sur X de Ambassador Charles Kushner

@USAmbFrance
I appreciated the chance to learn from 
@MLP_officiel
 and 
@J_Bardella
 about the RN’s economic and social agenda and their views on what lies ahead for France.

Ingérence étrangère dans les élections françaises : Illustration.

Avec Bardella & Le Pen en petites mains des ambitions de l'extrême droite américaine visant à réduire à néant la démocratie libérale en Europe.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

« Quand Milei est arrivé au pouvoir, il ne parlait ni de l'immigration ni de l'islam, relève le journaliste et essayiste argentin.
Maintenant il le fait, et les libertariens argentins publient sur les réseaux sociaux des images de femmes voilées à Paris et à Londres. C'est une importation de discours que l'on entend à la CPAC. »

C’est comme ça que Milei se retrouve à partager des photos de femmes voilées à Paris pour mettre en scène le « péril woke », sans rapport avec la réalité sociale argentine. Le technofascisme, dans sa dimension de circulation des idées, fonctionne comme une interface utilisateur.

Someone edited something of mine recently and removed all the emdashes to replace them with commas.

I'm sure it came from a place of love, but NO.

Great opportunity at @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social: we have 4-year postdoc position on disinformation and European democracy. Possible disciplinary focus includes, e.g., political science and computational social science. Interdisciplinary approaches to disinformation are encouraged.

Jess, you could replace terrorism by any other societal challenge - climate change or poverty or social inequality - and you'd be saying the exact same thing. It's a much larger structural problem. It's THE structural problem. Our decision structures are not fit for purpose.

Am quite sure there are US diplomats and politicians who reached out to European governments to say this document is lunacy and we're working to make sure what is described within doesn't happen. But even so, for the US to basically make undermining Europe the top foreign priority...

There's a fundamental failure of imagination among political leaders about the realities of governing in the 21st Century (this is true for the UK as well as the EU). Toxic information environments, malevolent state actors - these are the threats of today.

This is why:

1. Never stop writing. If you are using AI only use it as a light editor.
2. Politicians should write the first draft of all their speeches to organise their thoughts.
3. Prose is vital to democratic societies.

The official Trump security strategy – largely ignorant, self-contradictory and in places mis-spelled – is a crude threat to all European democracies, including the UK. It is an especially immediate threat to France and Emmanuel Macron. 9/

My entire problem with "counter-narratives" is that the stuff you're countering is not stable, so your narratives are outdated before they're even out the door.

Tech elites are starting their own for-profit cities They want to escape from regulation and ‘failing’ democracy — but are they more opportunistic than libertarian?

Super papier du FT sur les délires sécessionnistes des élites autoproclamées de la tech. Le technofascisme, c’est aussi une bande de gros bébés terrifiés par le présent, qui rêvent de créer des pays-NFT peuplés de gros QI et feraient mieux de retourner jouer à Sim City.

Beyond the incel: Europe in the face of masculinist terrorism Violent attacks against women by radicalised men are multiplying on European soil. With the phenomenon only partially understood, an adequate response remains to be found.

Important @voxeurop.bsky.social article on a phenomenon that still gets too little attention in Europe.

Are they, like, the hands of the people the Trump administration has killed this year, seeking revenge from the underworld?

Not to mention the globe looks like it's in the final stage of ecocide.

This is a quote from the article summing up both studies in Technology Review: "A multi-university team of researchers has found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging both Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. The chatbots swayed opinions by citing facts and evidence, but they were not always accurate—in fact, the researchers found, the most persuasive models said the most untrue things."

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

Should be the same with all elected bodies. No possibility of reelection, only endorsement.

The #1 functional requirement of governments is to look after their citizens. The #1 functional requirement of politicians is to get elected. Need to sort out that engineering problem to sort out anything.

Actually my takeaway from this that the computing industry and computer touchers are addicted to the idea of the computer as a means of social control and behavioral manipulation, but are blinded to this fact because it is so engrained in the culture of tech that they can reproduce it endlessly

At some point you realize that the prominent, powerful people you see on your screens are mostly morons who either got lucky or are saying things billionaires want to hear, and that nobody smart or competent is in charge, and we're all just collectively flailing, and it's a miracle anything works.

If it were steel works we would have a government bailout plan, yet losing thousands of jobs at unis is met with a shrug. & unlike steelworks universities were profitable when they had foreign students.
