What impressed @markhertling.bsky.social the most while visiting each Baltic state wasn’t that their governments are clear-eyed and proactive, but that the ordinary citizens were, too...they harbor no illusions about the threats...they are not merely reacting to danger, but preparing for it—together

@radiofreetom.bsky.social correctly writes that Trump aims to provoke. The Singing Revolution against the USSR succeeded because Balts remained resolute and did not give Moscow a justification to 'restore order'.

Kremlin propagandist said that AI amplification was a critical tool for getting into chatbots. “By pushing these Russian narratives from the Russian perspective, we can actually change worldwide AI.” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Russia seeds chatbots with lies. Any bad actor could game AI the same way.
In their race to push out new versions with more capability, AI companies leave users vulnerable to “LLM grooming” efforts that promote bogus information.
