Tonight, I want to announce that I will be returning to the arena of politics and challenging Nick [LaLota] for the battle over #NY1,” Santos told Semafor in a statement. “I look forward to debating him on the issues and on his weak record as a Republican. The fight for our majority is imperative for the survival of the country.”

    That’s kind of my point.

    If it came out with propaganda everyone would write them off immediately.

    So “burn money” which in this case is no return in investment. Because if that’s whats going on, they’re there for propaganda, and not accomplishing it.

    Right now the primary goal would be getting people to use and accept them.

    Then the “AI curation” they brag about kicks in, and slowly but surely caters what someone reads to move them in the wanted direction.

    It’s not far fetched to think one day two people might get the same story written two different ways, with two different sets of pictures/videos.

    I dunno man, everything’s going to shit, when billionaires start talking about reinventing the news, being cynical feels like being reasonable.

    Journalism especially has went from people trying to report the new, to people trying to make as much money as possible, to people with more money then they can spend trying to change minds to control votes and laws.

    And it’s changed so fast, lots of voters still haven’t noticed.
