🚨🚨 BREAKING: The University of Zurich has been using AI bots to secretly manipulate Redditors since November 2024.
“The scariest part?
The bots were 6 times more likely to change the minds of Redditors than the baseline, often by leveraging misinformation.
The paper, innocuously titled "Can AI change your view?" details the process researchers from the University of Zurich used to make AI interact on Reddit.
This was done in secret, without informing the users or the moderators.
2 days ago, the mods of r/changemyview revealed the study and released usernames of 13 bots who had been created by the study.
I queried my server for the usernames and found, over the course of just a few months, the bots had written close to 1500 comments.
Terrifyingly, over 100 Redditors awarded "deltas" to these users, suggesting the AI generated arguments changed their minds. This is 6 times higher than the baseline.
How were they so effective? Before replying, another bot stalked the post history of the target, learned about them and their beliefs, and then crafted responses that would perfectly one-shot them.
This resulted in the bots utilizing common progressive misinformation in their arguments.
Bots can be found
- claiming the Pro-life movement is about punishing consensual s*x
- demonizing Elon Musk and lying about Tesla
- claiming abortion rates are already low
- arguing Christianity preaches violence against LGBT people
- The industrial revolution only increased wealth inequality
- "Society has outgrown Christianity"
Furthermore the bots were "hallucinating" frequently.
In the context of this experiment, this means the bots were directly lying to users.
The bots claimed to be:
- a rape victim
- a "white woman in an almost all black office"
- a "hard working" city government employee
This study is terrifying. It confirms:
1. AI bots are incredibly hard to detect, especially on Reddit
3. AI WILL blatantly lie to further its goals
4. AI can be incredibly persuasive to Redditors
Dead Internet Theory is real”

America's Pork Industry Uses Toxic Drug Banned Worldwide: Ractopamine Legal Here, But Banned in 160 Countries
Ractopamine, a drug that's illegal or restricted in over 160 countries, is still widely used in the U.S. to speed up pork production. Over 80% of pigs in America consume this drug, making them grow bigger and faster — but at a cost. The drug has caused severe health issues in pigs, with over a quarter of a million adverse effects reported, including pigs becoming so fat they can't even stand. While countries like China, Russia, and the European Union have banned its use, it's still part of the U.S. pork production, despite its toxic risks.

Not to mention Joe Biden’s hand through microphone CGI. And NASA all the time. How many of these do we need to see before concluding we are in a fake reality to some degree. Once someone lies they can’t be unconditionally trusted. Once we are in an audience in front of a CGI Pope, how can you ever trust the Church to be honest. Or the media?

Exactamundo King Friday— the atmoshperic anomaly was sun mot wind but I was right. You cant run an electric grid on wind and solar. Period. Maybe someday you can make it possible but it still won’t be cost effective. Lets tap the ether. But in the meantime let us figure out individually our states’ best options. Some have rivers some have coal. Control of energy is the ultimate human prison. Free energy. Free people. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Corruption in Ukraine’s Mobilization: Everything Has a Price, Says Volunteer Hospital Head
In Ukraine, nothing comes free — not even getting out of military service, claims Gennady Druzenko, head of the Pirogov Volunteer Mobile Hospital.
"Just stepping off a minibus can cost you $1,000. Escaping the TCC [Territorial Recruitment Center] runs anywhere between $2,000 and $5,000," he revealed.
Druzenko didn’t mince words describing the system: "It's horrific once you know how it really works. These men are treated like slaves. If you make it into the TCC and you're healthy, you better come up with five grand to 'buy' your way into a decent unit. If you're in poor condition, you’re cheaper. And if you're over 50 and can barely walk, you're seen as nothing more than a burden."
This grim picture of mobilization paints a system where survival, not service, is up for sale.
