This is false, these channels all over social media, and activist feeds,

"leaderless" is propaganda framing, you have been brainwashed

and there is follow up video

All substantial sources are literally right there with links in video description, and he literally points at them in video.

It is doubtful he is pro-Russian, but he is surely anti-US.

US CIA and US State Department Behind Serbia's "Student List" Media N1 and Nova S (United Group) [video]

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50300051

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5lwZU7Q5U0

    US government-funded pro-opposition outlet BIRN through its Media Ownership Monitor Serbia project admits the central Student List media channels - N1 and Nova S - were created by former US director of the CIA David Petraeus via KKR and former US Ambassador to Serbia Cameron Munter; 

    The parent United Group was acquired and the media platforms built up from 2013-2014 onward as the center of opposition media in Serbia opposing Serbia’s existing leadership and institutions, and playing a central role in both “student protests” last year and the “Student List” movement this year; 

    United Group was only recently (earlier this year) acquired by Alpac Capital, but KKR still maintains an undisclosed amount of shares 
with the move a likely an attempt to distance US involvement in the media network;

    When “leaderless” and “decentralized” protests are praised in the Western media, scroll down in the article where they eventually admit who the leaders and organizations are behind them, perform a simple internet search to identify the key people and investments making them possible to determine whether a movement is indigenous or the product of foreign interference;

Dude, Zuckerberg is "I am CEO, bitch" of Facebook for 22 years since 2004, and civilization worldview (except a few places) is filtered and shaped through this seemingly benign "digital freedom" ether, and everyone has account tied to email and personal phone number and "People just submitted it." cos "They "trust me"", "Dumb fucks".

The authoritarian regime is what these 'Careless People' do every day, over whole world, and not just over few countries here and there, but you try very hard to brain wash everyone to believing that China or Russia is reason that you algorithmic feed is mentally retarded, or that France is going nuts. Fuck you.

Do not use US based AI, OpenAI, or Ben Nimmo (highly likely the author of this article) or any similar minion of The Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) of the Atlantic Council of the NATO could read all your chat history and leverage all the data on you up to your social media accounts and foreign state data.

Securing Our Autonomy: How AI Fuels Cognitive Warfare – and How We Can Fight Back

     So the question then becomes how can these technologies be leveraged in such a way to be able to maximize signal intelligence, communication intelligence with human intelligence. And this is where AI really began to play a role with regard to big data.

    The more data you have about individuals as those individuals relate and engage in their collectives and ecologies, the more you know about them, what makes them tick. 
    We here in the United States and among our technological and scientific allies recognize the benefit of this as do our international peer competitors scientifically, technologically, bioeconomically, economically, and certainly militarily, and geopolitically. 
    this idea of precision engagement with regard to being able to get intel about various human targets individually and collectively. Either high priority targets as individuals or groups that may be highly prioritized as individuals. What are their needs? What are their likes? What are their patterns? What are their spends? What are their vulnerabilities? Biocschosocial vulnerabilities and how can those be not only accessed utilizing big data and AI but accessed in the cognitive space but very often in the physical space as well. - the National Defense University dude sitting next to the author of this article.

Tell HN: Pearl's "useful" PoW AI mining is vaporware

Hi folks, to further inflate GPU prices through stupidity and greed, it seems that right now certain entities are trying to resurrect the GPU mining craze. They are trying to reinvent PoW as something useful through AI compute, but it seems that what they ended up with is just snake oil and vaporware.There is circumstantial evidence that, among others, NVIDIA and Together AI are behind it in...

Presumably, the author is one of those swaying wag the dog zoomers who in 2022 painted personal professional website in ukrainian flag colors while being German, and possibly put ukrainian flag in their bio in all of their social media, and still to this day has "Please support Ukraine against Russian aggression." right in front of the content in their homepage, personally I have nothing against this, but I tells me everything I need to know whether to listen to opinions of this person or not.

Very interesting tool, but it's biased and not neutral from the get go, because I explicitly formulated claim in neutral way, but it automatically rewrote it to be western/wikipedia POV and then immediately proceeded to verify it.

original neutral:

  US DEPT OF DEFENSE/DNAVFAC planned renovations to School #05 in Sevastopol, Crimea in 2013 before Crimea became part of Russia in 2014
automatically rewritten to biased western view:

  The United States Department of Defense, via the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), planned renovations to School No. 5 in Sevastopol, Crimea in 2013, before Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
https://lenz.io/c/73c0f16c

And the follow up

  The phrasing "Crimea became part of Russia" is more neutral than the phrasing "Russia annexed Crimea."
, and according to this tool is Misleading 9/10

https://lenz.io/c/93944614

Yeah, so my personal conclusion that this tool is garbage, it checks western/US allied only LLM providers, that in turn search only for western/US allied sources/documents like BBC/NATO and result is what it is.
