This is very nice and useful update from DeepMind. Instead of visiting multiple AI evaluators to pinpoint which machine created the slop I'm looking at, I can now visit one with an easy-to-remember domain. blog.google/innovation-a...

Remarkable lack of dot-connecting to attacks on Trust & Safety over the last 3 years, executed by some of the same people. Then, they worked to reframe the research community as woke censors. Here they're trying to reframe it as woke cranks...and censors. www.washingtonpost.co…
For years, researchers have described how generative AI would change influence ops. But something more interesting is happening now: AI is running the back office. A Wagner entity even used Claude to rate employees & recommend whom to fire. From me, at Lawfare: www.lawfaremedi…

- Iranian propagandists used Claude to produce doctrine manuals and ministerial planning documents Anthropic said would otherwise need a fully staffed program office.
- A French ad firm's pipeline fed roughly 70 fake news sites that published nearly 9,000 articles in about 20 languages with almost no engagement.
- DiResta concludes AI has made influence apparatuses cheaper, faster, and more persistent but has not yet made audiences easier to reach or persuade.

NY Post comes for Aella because *some VCs* are mad that the vibes shifted away from them on AI safety last week. Badge of honor, really. They're grasping and chose the oldest smear strategy in the book. "You're either with us or with the sluts and wokes!" nypost.com/2026/09/16…

The ceNsOrShiP iNdUstrIaL cOmpleX hoaxers are starting to go after AI evaluators using the same playbook that took down social media research. It worked for them last time. No consequences for lying. Shellenberger, Schmitt both starting up. Smears & subpoenas from the lie machine commencing. Watch.
TSA just got my husband’s very nice knife because for some reason it was in my backpack. I have 4 flights before I get back so checking is not an option. The sympathetic officer let me photograph it before he tossed it so I could look up the model and replace it. But the AI will not help me 🙃
Incredible AI generated ragebait: the woke School Office tyrants would not let Tragedeigh have her Stanley!
“The Power of Attorney Nobody Signed”. 🙄 so many corporate conference presentations are just AI slop at this point.
Is Meta AI’s new image generator that lets you namecheck other Instagram accounts to generate images available in Europe?
