France’s 17 October mobilisation may be less about who started it than what happens next. The key signal: separate grievance networks moving from the same date to the same locations, logistics and triggering events. New case study: www.dutchosintguy.com/post/from-ti...

echnology is no longer becoming the competitive advantage. 𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀. I believe the organizations that outperform over the next decade won’t necessarily have the smartest AI. They’ll have the strongest culture of critical thinking, analytical tradecraft, verification, and intellectual humility.

But they’ll spend comparatively little on: • How do we make analysts better thinkers? • How do we preserve skepticism? • How do we prevent AI overreliance? • How do we reward analysts for changing their minds when evidence appears? • How do we teach verification in a world of AI-generated evidence?

I generated a realistic Amsterdam street with AI. It does not exist. Then I asked a new ChatGPT chat to geolocate it. It confidently named a real street. Then it found no strong AI tells. For OSINT, seeing is no longer believing. Verification is. Read: www.dutchosintguy.com/post/the-ams...
