@armano Oh, I’m already there my friend. Sob.

AI is quietly (and fast) becoming part of the fabric of the campaign - or of one side, at least. (3/3)

[Dave Fleet @davefleet]

Observation: Controversy over AI-generated images has become a regular part of the fabric of the US election news cycle in recent weeks. (1/3)

[Dave Fleet @davefleet]

First we had allegations that crowd shots at a Harris rally were AI-generated (they weren't), and now we have Trump's use of AI-generated images suggesting Taylor Swift endorsed him (she hadn't) and that Harris presented to a crowd of communists (she didn't). (2/3)

@LukeArmour Had no idea you were there! Hope you enjoyed the event

[Dave Fleet @davefleet]

@pug That was… surprisingly not terrible.

Someone in the office is blasting System of a Down and I'm here for it.

@imavip We're doing some office renos. Workers are living their best lives.

@jeremywright Guessing my "violation" was having my Mastodon ID in my bio.

Apparently I'm not eligible for Twitter's Community Notes because I violated Twitter Rules in the last six months. 🤷‍♂️Oh, and my account isn't old enough either. Should have jumped on here earlier than 2007 I suppose.

@paiiige I’ll take two, please.

@FergDevins Glad you're enjoying the newsletter, @FergDevins. Hope you're well!

@Sander_vdLinden @PenguinRandomCA Opened up my Audible app today and my pre-ordered copy of Foolproof was available! Looking forward to diving in very soon.

Timely story on AI capabilities in @PRNews "It's crucial to recognize the potential seismic shift these tools may cause in the misinformation and disinformation space." @davefleet breaks down the ways we can prepare. #brandmanagement https://t.co/kvEYm6yakN

Media for weeks: “The case against Trump isn’t a sure thing!”
Media after weeks of this: “Polls show people think the case against Trump isn’t a sure thing!”
🤔

@Sander_vdLinden @PenguinRandomCA Just read the Globe and Mail piece on your book - congrats! Any sense of timing for the audiobook release over in Canada? Audible doesn't seem to have it north of the wall.

@Alliance4EU Too bad this is only open to EU citizens - would have loved to attend this.
