On Tuesday morning, Formella stepped up to a podium and announced the calls came from Life Corporation and Walter Monk of Texas.

    I wouldn’t blame all of Texas it’s a big state with a lot of different people. Casting judgement against the whole state seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater to me.

    That said I’ve got a feeling we’ll learn a whole lot about Mr. Monk in the coming days. And I agree that AI generated disinformation is going to present an increasing threat to democracies around the globe. It’ll be interesting seeing how this type of attack gets combated.

      How much poop has to float in your bath water before you throw it out? Seems like we have a never ending stream of turds coming from Texas - is there ever enough shit? Or is there no limit?

      I would be very unsurprised to learn that some of Texas’ state leadership was involved in this. Maybe you consider it to generalizing for the public, but the Texas governor is already illegally relocating migrants to attack liberal cities. I wouldn’t be surprised if elections in Texas were neither free nor fair, but there is still a sizable majority that are supporting ratfuckery and electing public officials that represent that desire. If we’re already blaming the Texas government, it’s really not that much further to blame the state as a whole.
