"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has developed a new software suite, driven by Google Gemini, Open AI and Anthropic’s Claude, that helps party members generate so-called “rage bait” social media postings.

Central to the new campaign is the Alternita platform, registered to the AfD’s general secretary Hans-Holger Malcomeß, which promises users social media posts “in five minutes, with your positions, in your style, your branding”.

In the case of the AfD, an undercover investigation by Germany’s Correctiv outlet revealed how, in a few clicks, a populist article can be turned into provocative posts to flood social media feeds.

This is just the automated version of what's been happening the last decade in social media. The foreign influence operations have been very effective at driving splits among Democrats. I know Reddit is rife with them but wondering about them operating here as well. The pattern sure seems to hold on some controversial topics.

Establishment Dems have done a good enough job at creating a rift in their party on their own ober the past 20 years; no rage-baiting AI required.

But for unknown reasons not a good enough job for dissidents to create the American Social Democratic party

A third party is absolutely possible, it just requires one or two headnames and Social Democratic reforms which has major support among the electorate of both sides of the aisle
