Reposted by Markus J. Diepold (he/him)Margaret Killjoy @margaret.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something.

Markus J. Diepold (he/him) @markusjdiepold.bsky.social · 03/09/2026A fascinating convergence of grifting, AI-slop, and the gig economy: a company pays random talking heads on sites like Fivr to read AI-scripts in an effort to avoid AI-detection, while pushing anti-Dem talking points, not bc they are part of a SuperPAC, but bc it clicks better vs. anti-Trump contentriddance.aiThese anti-Democrat YouTubers are paid actors | RiddanceAI-enabled personas are targeting mayors, governors, and members of Congress.
