> The risk that deepfakes could erode trust “should not paralyze you into doing nothing,” said Renout Van Zandycke, who runs the Belgian communications agency Exposure, which has advised several political parties. “Doing nothing is equally as bad.”
So spreading disinformation is only as bad as not doing it. Got it. Excellent advice.

@hpod16 „Can confirm - we don't use AI generated *images* on our socials for instance.“
And how about the rest of the content? https://getmona.app/rich_text/172183068007

We also don't copy paste AI-generated text onto our socials if that's what you're getting at. Our content creators are pretty passionate writers, I don't think any of us are keen on outsourcing the creative part of our work to AI. -
@richlv @hpod16 @nihkeys Well, yes because #PoliticoIsTrash
They're owned by Axel Springer and run by Mathias Döpfner. I don't know what their latest relationship status is with their former (?) investor Peter Thiel (they had a falling out at some point), but those names should give you an idea of what kind of coverage of EU matters in general and EU regulations on slop in particular you can expect. And yet, the Brussels bubble treats it as its "newspaper" of record.

@Veza85UE Thanks for this. I wasn't aware of the background. Also I think surviving being a "tech journalist" nowadays will likely require some kind of buy-in into the "AI is great"-narrative.

@hpod16 If only Ze had got himself financed by Thiel, he'd get better coverage, as "the youthful, do-gooder" Sebastian Kurz once did.
I'm so glad our elected officials trip all over themselves to give Mathias Döpfner scoops in exchange for attention and a place on their cringe year-end list. why are they worse at taking care of Europeans and our shared public sphere than I was at taking care of my drunk friends in the club back in the Triassic?
