KI-Agenten ein Stück Software programmieren zu lassen ist eine Sache, aber Openclaw (mit Codex) eine ganze Reihe von Machine-Learning-Experimenten durchziehen zu lassen und nach einer halben Stunde über iMessage die Ergebnisse zu bekommen, fühlt sich noch ein wenig surrealer an.

The distinction between genuine grassroots activism and automated influence operations iscollapsing. While policy debates focus on bot farms, in a new paper we describe a distinct threat to democracy emerging via partisan coordination apps and artificial intelligence–what we term “cyborg propaganda" jonaskunst.net/wp-content/up… Led by Jonas Kunst

In a new #SciencePolicyForum, researchers discuss the risks of malicious “#AI swarms,” which enable a new class of large-scale, coordinated disinformation campaigns that pose significant risks to democracy. scim.ag/46dH3Se

Democracy doesn’t require perfect truth—but it does require something more fragile: independent voices. The “wisdom of crowds” depends on independence between judgments. If a single actor can speak through thousands of inauthentic accounts, the apparent consensus of the crowd stops being informative. The most dangerous outcome is not a single viral lie—it is synthetic consensus: the illusion that “everyone is saying this,” which can quietly bend beliefs and norms.

After years monitoring Twitter/X, I’ve gathered ~150 TB of research data on public discourse (Covid-19, Ukraine, George Floyd, etc.). X’s legal limits prevent sharing it with the scientific community. If you know lawful ways or partnerships to make it accessible, please reach out

It's here. Brand new interview with Sir Roger Pernose. curtjaimungal.com We cover: - Why the Big Bang is the conformal continuation of a previous eon’s remote future - Penrose’s encounters with Ed Witten, Feynman, and Douglas Hofstadter - Why conformal geometry (angles without scale) connects these cosmic epochs - Consciousness - Michael Levin (@drmichaellevin ) has questions about Platonic space - What the Penrose model of gravitational wave function collapse actually predicts This is my third conversation with Sir Roger Penrose. Stay tuned—in a couple weeks, I’ll release another conversation with Penrose and Professor Ivette Fuentes about a groundbreaking new experiment. This experiment has already been conducted and is in the pre‑publishing phase, thus I can’t release the footage yet, but as soon as I get the greenlight, you can hear all about it. Apologies for being vague here as I can’t say more but it will blow your mind. Get it at curtjaimungal.com

This one is interesting. Apparently, there is still room for improvement when it comes to symbolic planning/reasoning. arxiv.org/abs/2509.13351

We examined the role of social media in the amplification of violent, divisive discourse during Ethiopia’s Tigray conflict. tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1… And I proudly did not use any LLMs for this post.

Paper by @daniel_thilo et al explores how malicious AI swarms might form a threat to democracy: buff.ly/wrYLwxy via coauthor @nachristakis

Recently, I read this beautiful #book, named Life as No One Knows It, by @Sara_Imari and had a minor revelation that maybe we’ve been looking at life from a completely wrong lens. My notes 👇

ALERTE : 19 chercheurs de très haut niveau alertent sur la menace que représentent pour les démocraties les essaims d’IA malveillantes (« Ai Swarms »), qui peuvent se coordonner, échapper à toute détection, créer des informations convaincantes, et manipuler les élections. 1/3

The combination of #artificialintelligence and #socialmedia poses a threat to democracy. Our new paper explains how AI swarms can fabricate grassroots consensus, fragment shared reality, engage in mass harassment, interfer with elections, and erode institutional trust:
