Alethea identified a network of at least 400 X accounts exhibiting inauthentic behavior and coordinated narrative promotion. The network used large language models (LLMs) to generate subtly varied copypasta-style content—a technique Alethea terms PromptPasta—to amplify messages aligned with key figures and policy positions associated with the second Trump Administration. The outputs of PromptPasta are nuanced, with variations in phrasing among the posts that correspond to each LLM prompt, making them harder to detect than identical posts shared via copypasta tactics.

This investigation reveals how generative AI is being used to execute sophisticated influence operations that blur the line between authentic and inauthentic public opinion. Communications teams can no longer rely solely on traditional sentiment analysis or media monitoring—narratives are now shaped by coordinated networks using LLMs to seed doubt, amplify polarizing messages, and hijack conversations in real time. Understanding these evolving tactics is critical for identifying emerging risks to brand reputation, public trust, and message integrity before they escalate or mislead key audiences.

  • Flooding in Indonesia is increasingly traced to corporate destruction of peatlands rather than natural causes, according to a new report by NGO Pantau Gambut.
  • The construction of industrial-scale canals poses a growing threat; the report found that 281,253 kilometers of canals have cut through peatland ecosystems, draining the peat and compromising its sponge-like function.
  • In addition, the report concluded that peatland protection laws are deeply flawed, as they serve corporate profit interests, rather than environmental protection.

I've used neovim for a couple years now, but had trouble using it professionally because package managers often break in certain environments like docker containers or remote servers. Rather than go with the graybeard option of using plain vim in unusual environments, I experimented with not using any package managers and just directly controlling the environment.

This worked surprisingly well, so I reworked my dotfiles into a shareable format - which is freak.nvim

Hope other vim appreciators enjoy =)

NW Florida. Not sure I see it year-round, but it's super common. Always grows on dead trees but I've not noted what species it likes. Supper common. When it's fresher the color is intense. This stuff has started to dry up.
