Morgen wählt die USA…
was hat Ki damit zu tun?

Einiges - KI ist fester Bestandteil von Wahlkämpfen geworden.

Unten mein Artikel zu KI und Wahlen in den USA.

Breaking: Starlink connectivity inside Iran has reportedly been completely jammed, total packet loss, consistent with military-grade, high-power microwave jamming, reportedly of Chinese origin. This kind of blanket interference doesn’t just knock out satellites it cripples mobile communications nationwide and poses serious health risks to civilians.

[Arun Pudur @arunpudur]

US and Elon Musk claimed Starlink can’t be blocked.

Russia helped Iran disrupt it within minutes — reports show ~80% data loss for users.

Starlink is toast, Investors are shocked.

India has similar capabilities - a reminder for Pakistan and Bangladesh, now relying on Starlink.

The reason the Europeans are suspicious about Trump's Greenland motives is because all of these security risks can be addressed via existing - NATO and bilateral - agreements. They do not require Greenland to come under US sovereignty or civilian control

The times we are living in…
Content creators can be power houses of creative production, but a preference for only fans is very specific….

NEW: United States increasingly issuing work visas to OnlyFans models based on level of audience reach according to the Financial Times.

Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

Exclusive: A year after Tenet Media was busted for funneling Russian money to MAGA pundits like Benny Johnson, a Trump administration effort involving State and the FBI has welcomed Tenet's founders back into the US. @BulwarkOnline: https://t.co/AIYfiEyrFC

@joerglau @ConStelz Ist auch eine Generationsfrage…
Online Mobilisierungspotentiale, digitale Persönlichkeiten / Subkukturen, ökonomische incentives und sich veränderte globale Trends in Bezug auf Medienkonsum, Fragmentierung etc. werden in ihrer Komplexität nicht wahrgenommrn.

Starke Rede der britischen Geheimdienstchefin Blaise Metreweli:

1️⃣ Wir leben nicht mehr in „Zeiten der Unsicherheit“ – wir leben in einer Ära der systematischen Destabilisierung.

Autoritäre Staaten nutzen Technologie, Desinformation und Grauzonen‑Aggression, um die offene Weltordnung auszuhöhlen. Wer heute noch von „Krisen“ spricht, hat die tektonische Verschiebung nicht verstanden.

2️⃣ Russland ist nicht nur ein Gegner – es ist der Katalysator globaler Unordnung.

Ukraine‑Unterstützung ist kein Akt der Solidarität, sondern strategische Selbstverteidigung Europas.

3️⃣ Geheimdienste, die Technologie nicht meistern, verlieren Relevanz – und damit verlieren Demokratien Handlungsmacht.

KI, Daten, Quanten – das ist nicht „Innovation“, das ist Überlebensfähigkeit. Wer nicht technologisch führt, wird geführt.

4️⃣ Trotzdem entscheidet am Ende der Mensch – Mut, Urteilskraft, kulturelle Intelligenz.

In einer Welt voller Sensoren, Algorithmen und Deepfakes bleibt die menschliche Quelle das einzige Element, das nicht kopiert werden kann. Technologie ist Hebel, nicht Ersatz.

5️⃣ Werte sind kein PR‑Element – sie sind strategische Infrastruktur.

Transparenz, Partnerschaften, Integrität: Demokratien gewinnen nicht durch Geheimhaltung, sondern durch Vertrauen.

An amazing article came out yesterday.
Seven German journalism students, as a continuation of their OSINT course project, tracked the movements of ships with Russian crews off the coasts of the Netherlands and Germany and linked them to swarms of drones appearing over European military airfields and other strategic sites.

The guys not only analyzed thousands of data points, but also used leaked documents, established connections with sources in European agencies, and drove 2,500 km across three countries chasing one of the ships – even launching their own drone to fly over it.

At the end of the article, there’s precise data on the vessels, so you can follow them yourself.

This is journalism of the highest order – straight from the bureau of weights and measures.

Looks like coordinated Plattform activity… probably boosted as well. I wonder about the intended impact besides mobilizing their own base. Many possibilities here…

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

US and Russian officials participated in a coordinated attack on Europe which saw thousands of bots spread disinformation and terroristic rhetoric against the European Union.

🧵 THREAD: NCRI's Analysis: How Abuse of 𝕏's Platform boosted Nick Fuentes

A few days ago, @elonmusk got "ratioed" by Nick Fuentes.

The air quotes are intentional. There was nothing organic about the ratio.

This morning, Network Contagion Research Institute (@ncri_io) released a forensic breakdown of how Nick Fuentes' sudden rise over the past year was driven by synthetic amplification, foreign engagement clusters, and coordinated raid behavior.

I read the full report and asked NCRI some clarifying questions about their methodology. The findings are staggering.

As always, patience as I pull this thread together. 👇

Zohran Mamdani built an anti-loneliness campaign. He met voters who were attached to screens, isolated from the pandemic, spiritually unmoored — and got them out of the house, because the political, to them, was personal. W/ the wonderful @boreskes https://t.co/OY4OggShp8

[Katja M @KMatrisk]

Modern effective political campaigning needs to win in terms of medium, form and content… the Mamdani campaign has ticked all the boxes online and offline - its fascinating to see the mobilization he has been able to unleash.

[Financial Times @FT]

Just before the election, the FT interviewed Andrew Epstein, the creative director of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign, spilling the secrets of how they used social media to help build the NY mayoral candidate's profile and agenda. https://t.co/HqjUjo4oSu
