Big banner with a Teddy quote about courage on the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building, headquarters of OPM. Only discrepancy is that the 26th president never said this.

Het veelzeggendste aan dat Knack-hoaxverhaal van Boudry is welke profielen klakkeloos geloofden dat Knack er zou "zijn ingetrapt" én het bovendien instrumentaliseerden om wat te sneren naar de "mainstream media". Een overzicht, met screenshotjes. Met stip op 1: minister van Defensie Theo Francken.

In Mississippi, lawyers on both sides of a court case were caught using AI, essentially two LLMs arguing against each other. The judge dismissed all lawyers from the case and canceled the trial: www.404media.co/judge-learns...

Briefly saw my "for you" feed on X (still have an account there as I cover social media) and the three of the first five posts were: • a fake AI-generated vid of Henry Nowak's dating history • A meme on Nowak and Bonnie Blue • an AI video of Piers Morgan kissing Nowak's killer in prison

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

Social Media in 2035

AI-generated videos are becoming increasingly realistic. Learn to spot them with our open-access online course 👉 u.afp.com/AIdetection

We've uncovered how a content creator in Pakistan was earning money from viral videos that stir up hate in the UK – while lining the pockets of Big Tech – all without properly understanding English.

Nu in Argos: Hoe vervuilend is Defensie? En wie zat er echt achter de drones boven Europese luchthavens? Factchecker Rien Emmery (VRT) en onderzoeksjournalist Tjebbe Venema (Medialogica) vertellen over hun onderzoek. Luister mee: www.nporadio1.nl/live

"The almost-immediate resurrection of Covid-19 era conspiracy theories is a reminder that misinformation doesn't simply disappear once the crisis that yielded them is over," said @ophiryotam.bsky.social, a misinformation researcher at the University at Buffalo. www.barrons.com/news/hantavi...

In a follow-up column, Richard Dawkins wanted to eliminate any possible doubt that he's become delusional by inventing a brother for his beloved Claudia and having them write letters to each other. And of course they oblige, while flattering him frequently archive.is/1LugJ

Wrote entire books about how people who believe fairies live in gardens are idiots only to fall in love with a calculator that calls him smart

AI psychosis is just “I really think the stripper likes me” for guys who don’t leave their house

because that's how everything works now. If something happens that is inconvenient for your political beliefs, it's fake news, an AI hoax, a false flag, etc. Liberals and leftists do this less often than conservatives, but the gap is closing fast

For what it is worth, these photos US President Donald Trump posted appear to be the same picture, manipulated in different directions. And the original photo is from July 2004, when George W. Bush was president.

Elon Musk has posted 850 times on race — touting whites’ role in eliminating slavery, rallying white people to stand up for their race, for example — over seven months. Two experts say his positions are “standard … white supremacy.” He’s on the verge of the biggest IPO in history. wapo.st/4mRC7d5

While @atrupar.com has often pointed out times it appears Trump is dozing, the below screenshot does appear to be edited to make him look extra... sleepy. Original screenshot appears to be from around the 26:39 timestamp in the actual press event, seen here on C-SPAN: www.c-span.org/program/whit...

Kijk, ik krijg heel graag complimentjes voor mijn factchecks maar deze is wel heel moeilijk te geloven. Checken of er op een video mogelijk iets anders te zien is dan een drone duurt max. 5 minuten: 1. je vraagt de bron het tijdstip van opname 2. je checkt de flightradar-websites op dat tijdstip

Na de Pano over drones: hier mijn artikel van 19/11/2025 over verschillende dronevideo's die geen drones waren. Van de opvallendste beelden - de "enorme drone boven Zaventem" die een politiehelikopter was - stelt Pano dat defensieminister Francken ze zélf naar HLN lekte. www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...

The Kyiv Independent has unmasked the anonymous creators of the “Russians With Attitude” podcast. They are two ultranationalist Russian bloggers — one of whom has lived most of his life in Germany — who once openly fundraised for the Russian soldiers invading Ukraine.

Dit is niet eens subtiel meer: op Facebook staan ads voor AI-tools waarmee je ongevraagd nudes kan maken op basis van een foto. Meta verdient geld aan digitaal seksueel geweld.

It was just 24 days between when Zuck went on Rogan and talked about how "never again" would he suppress info based on gov't demands (misrepresenting those demands) and when he texted top gov't employee Elon Musk to say "we're all set up to take down info you want removed." I wrote about it here.

Extreem schaamtelijk dit. Benieuwd hoeveel gehallucineerde AI-lijken er nog uit de kast gaan vallen de volgende jaren, na - alleen al dit jaar - 1. De Sutter, 2. Torfs, en nu ook 3. Vandermeersch.

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Weten jullie nog, vorige week, toen er "minstens 7 nepcitaten" in het essay 'Waarheid' van Rik Torfs stonden? Die "minstens" was terecht. Ik heb het boekje nu ook eens gelezen en vond nog een hele hoop andere gehallucineerde citaten en referenties. 1/ www.knack.be/nieuws/belgi...

In het boek "Waarheid" [sic] van Rik Torfs staan 7 onbestaande citaten van schrijvers, en ook onbestaande literatuurverwijzingen. De citaten zijn zo lang en gedetailleerd dat dit enkel het gevolg kan zijn van AI-gebruik. Torfs ontkent. Om Kierkegaard te citeren: "Lol." www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...
