Reply to comment by hops4beer in Expert: Misinformation targeting Black voters is rising — and AI could make it more “sophisticated” by Wagamaga

There’s also a ton targeting Latinos, though it is often overlooked as it’s frequently in Spanish. It’s also not discussed ever, but I am quite convinced that left-of-liberals are being heavily targeted.

As for the why, because they’re very online groups, often polarized, and that tend to vote a particular way but don’t necessarily identify with the way they vote. Moderate-minded people who identify heavily as democrats or republicans aren’t going to change their views as easily. Those groups also have plenty of valid anxieties about the political system, and that can be exploited.

Clearly, without reading too much. The satellite was testing a cheap, light weight mechanism to bring satellites out of orbit sooner.

This particular satellite, due to the drag sail that opened after getting into orbit, will bring it down within 5 years as opposed to the 25-27 years without one.

It can do that because it will do what you ask. There’s enough code out there today to know what inputs it’ll need for virtually any piece of software. If you don’t like it you’ll just tell it what you want changed.

Changes are a big deal for human development teams, but will be nothing when all the work can be completed in a couple hours.

We aren’t there yet, but with focus it’ll be possible very soon (within a few years).
