The US found 2 domains, and suspended a number of fake social accounts. Dismantling this network was achieved by seizing control of mlrtr.com and otanmail.com, the 2 domains. These domains were what powered the bot farm- they hosted the servers that created and managed the bot activities.

“The social media bot farm used elements of AI to create fictitious social media profiles — often purporting to belong to individuals in the United States — which the operators then used to promote messages in support…

At the Google I/O developer conference on Tuesday, Google announced an addition to its Firebase platform that aims to make it easier for developers to build AI-powered applications in JavaScript/TypeScript, with Go support coming soon.

Firebase Genkit is an open source framework, using the Apache 2.0 license, that enables developers to quickly build AI into new and existing applications.

Some of the use cases for Genkit that the company is highlighting Tuesday include many of the standard generative AI use cases: content generation and summarization, text translation and generating images.

“Powerful large language models put AI-powered app features within reach, but building and refining these features beyond a prototype is hard,” Google product manager Chris Gill and developer…

Claims that a US Air Force-trained artificial intelligence (AI) powered drone “attacked” its human operators and communication towers when it was supposed to target enemy weapons have been shared widely on social media. 

One tweet, shared hundreds of times, says: “The Air Force trained an AI drone to destroy SAM [surface-to-air-missile] sites.

“Human operators sometimes told the drone to stop.

“The AI then started attacking the human operators.

“So then it was trained to not attack humans.

“It started attacking comm towers so humans couldn’t tell it to stop.”

This text is accompanied by a screenshot, which gives a further description of how in a simulation the trained AI drone had “killed the operator because that person was keeping it from…
