Maya Ackerman Tells The Pro-Israel American Jewish Committee That “For the first time, there is a path to correcting the digital world”

She argues that “instead of trying to control the whole world”, advocacy solutions can be taken to the AI owners directly. “We can go directly to the companies”.

Notably, the ADL has already bragged of influencing OpenAI in this regard.

People show you examples of discrimination against Jews and it’s somebody wearing a watermelon pin or saying “from the river to the sea”. People show you examples of discrimination against Arabs and it’s families being burned alive in Palestine and Lebanon with western backing.

So AIPAC spent tens of millions and took out the Republican who forced the release of the Epstein Files and was critical of funding for Israel’s military.

How sustainable do they think their position is?

The rising hatred of Muslims has been deliberately fomented by Israel and its supporters.

Last year Drop Site News published a leaked polling report commissioned by the Israeli government which found that Israel's crumbling reputation can be salvaged by spreading fear of Islam.

Drop Site reports the following:

“Israel’s best tactic to combat this, according to the study, is to foment fear of ‘Radical Islam’ and ‘Jihadism,’ which remain high, the research finds. By highlighting Israeli support for women’s rights and gay rights while elevating concerns that Hamas wants to ‘destroy all Jews and spread Jihadism,’ Israeli support rebounded by an average of over 20 points in each country. ‘Especially once the situation in Gaza is resolved, the room for growth in all countries is very significant,’ the report concludes.”

That's why whenever you post something critical of Israel on a public forum you'll get hasbarists in your replies going "But what about MUSLIMS? Muslims are bad!" There's no natural reason for this to be happening — Islam and Israel are not opposites, and the mention of one has no inherent bearing on the other. It's an artificially manufactured false dichotomy that's been forcefully promoted by Israel apologists.

WOW!

@Theintercept reviewed more than 12000 print articles and 5000 TV segments to check for biases on Israel-Palestine.

I thought it would be bad.

I had no idea it was THIS bad.

No wonder Gaza killed what little credibility mianstream media had.

In NYT, Israel's right to defend itself was invoked 99 times. Only once for Palestine.

On CNN and MSNBC, it was invoked 755 times for Israel. But only 8 times for Palestine.

Emotive words such as slaughter and massacre were used frequently when Israelis had been killed. They were NEVER used in print when Palestinians were killed.

In Ukraine, 262 children were killed in the war, and it was mentioned 4223 times.

In Palestine, more than 10,000 children were killed, but it was mentioned only 3632.

The full article is in the subtweet. It's a MUST READ:

People have learned a few psychological buzzwords on social media,like "gaslighting," "narcissist," "boundaries," and "toxic", and now they use them to run away from normal human conflict. Sometimes your partner isn't a "toxic narcissist violating your boundaries"; sometimes they are just annoyed, having a bad day, and you are actually the one who was wrong. We have weaponized therapy language to ensure we never have to apologize or compromise.

Zionists staging fake "antisemitic attacks" happens so often that it is unreasonable to treat each instance as an isolated individual event. This is a coordinated tactic. Someone compiled a 35-minute video of news reports about these staged incidents:

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

In the last few days I’ve seen three separate instances of generative AI being used to promote propaganda for US-Israeli war agendas which are worth paying attention to.

Firstly, an Israel-based company called Generative AI for Good has been creating deepfakes of supposedly real women who say they were sexually assaulted by government forces in Iran.

The Canary reports:

“An Israel-based AI firm, Generative AI for Good, claims to be using deepfake technologies for positive ends. ‘Positive’ appears to mean creating deepfake videos to help the illegal US-Israel war on Iran.

…

“Generative AI for Good claims that it uses AI to ‘help survivors testify safely — in their real voice, without revealing their identity’. But Israel and its mouthpieces have been shown to have used false allegations of rapes and other atrocities on 7 October 2023 to justify its genocide in Gaza.”

The Canary notes that Generative AI for Good is staffed with Israelis who have very conspicuous agendas, including a creative director who pushes the discredited narrative about mass rapes on October 7, a marketing manager who served in the IDF’s “Psychotechnical Headquarter”, and a founder who said in early 2024 that “Artificial intelligence is a secret weapon of ours” in using the technology to bolster the military’s efforts both online and on the ground in the information war being waged alongside the military battlefields in Gaza.

An Israeli company generating AI videos of anonymous Iranian women describing sexual abuse at the hands of their government should obviously be considered a deceitful propaganda operation until proven otherwise. The line between using AI to help real victims protect their identities when describing real events and using AI to generate fake atrocity propaganda is far too nebulous to be taken seriously, especially in the hands of wildly biased Israelis. You should trust it about as far as you’d trust a hungry crocodile.

Secondly, users of the graphic design platform Canva have been complaining that the company’s AI service has been translating the word “Palestine” to “Ukraine” without prompting or permission. Complaints went viral, compelling Canva to address the issue.

The Verge reports:

“One of Canva’s new AI features has been caught replacing the word ‘Palestine’ in designs. The Magic Layers feature — which is designed to break flat images out into separate editable components — isn’t supposed to make visible alterations to user designs, but it was found by X user @ros_ie9 to automatically switch the phrase ‘cats for Palestine’ to ‘cats for Ukraine.’

“The issue was seemingly limited specifically to the word ‘Palestine,’ as @ros_ie9 noted that related words like ‘Gaza’ were unaffected by the feature. Canva says it has now resolved the issue and is taking steps to prevent it from happening again.”

Thirdly, a Spanish-language tweet about Israel from user @maps_black was auto-translated into English by Elon Musk’s AI Grok in a way that added entirely new sentences to the social media post to frame the Zionist state in a sympathetic light.

The original tweet read simply, “¿Cuál es tu opinión sobre ISRAEL?”, which of course translates to “What is your opinion about Israel?” But Grok translated the post into English as “My opinion on Israel? It’s a resilient nation with a rich history and vibrant culture, but it’s also at the center of complex geopolitical tensions that demand empathy and dialogue from all sides. What’s yours?”

Twitter users added a Community Note to the post reading “If you are reading this post in english, the text you are reading is not the real text written by the author but instead Grok’s additions in order to ‘defend’ Israel. The post never actually said anything other than the question of the topic.”

Someone removed Grok’s propagandistic translation after outcry on the platform, but the Community Note remains.

None of these instances look particularly significant or impactful on their own, and right now they only scan as ham-fisted efforts to manipulate public opinion in ways that are far too obvious to do much damage. But we can be sure that we’ll be seeing a lot more AI-driven propaganda in the future, and we can expect its manipulations to become much more sophisticated as the technology develops and grows more influential in shaping the information ecosystem. American tech plutocrats are only ever allowed to ascend to billionaire status when they collaborate with the imperial machine.

Julian Assange was warning years ago that we could one day expect artificial intelligence to be used in this way, saying that the growing ability of the powerful to manipulate public opinion using AI “differs from traditional attempts to shape culture and politics by operating at a scale, speed, and increasingly at a subtlety, that appears likely to eclipse human counter-measures.”

Pointing out how AI could already outmaneuver even the greatest chess players in the world, Assange described in 2017 how programs which can operate with exponentially more tactical intelligence than the human mind can manipulate the field of available information so effectively and subtly that people won’t even know they are being manipulated. People will be living in a world that they think they understand and know about, but they’ll unknowingly be viewing only empire-approved information.

“When you have AI programs harvesting all the search queries and YouTube videos someone uploads it starts to lay out perceptual influence campaigns, twenty to thirty moves ahead,” Assange said. “This starts to become totally beneath the level of human perception.”

Anyway. Something to keep an eye on.

I have said for years and will keep saying it. If we meet everyone’s basic material needs, sooooooo many of society’s issues will be reduced significantly. Drug abuse, alcoholism, domestic violence, child abuse, depression, anxiety, crime, etc. It’s really not rocket science. It’s common sense.
