I don't know if this is realistic. Considering making a game is a full time job.

The New Zealand Social Media Study did some analysis of fake news during the '20 and '23 election campaigns. They did a bit more in 2020, here are some of their results: https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/hppi/psir/psir-research/election/facebook-campaign-communication
I had actually been planning a proposal for this fund for next year (social science). I'd sat through seminars on how to write a good proposal, and no one mentioned funding getting cut was even a possibility. The universities were completely blindsided.
It's a decision that seems to be driven purely by ideology, and mostly comes from one of the junior coalition partners (Act). I know for a fact that their leader has been expressing discontent about some of the research being done that has been criticising him (I.e. showing how his party spreads misinformation).

OpenAI published a paper about GPT titled "Sparks of AGI".
I don't think they really believe it but it's good to bring in VC money
Mastodon is pretty different to its competitors. It looks similar to Twitter / Bluesky, but the way the social network functions is completely different.
It's designed to be anti-infuencer... One of the things I hate about most social media platforms is a few people get all the attention. There are a few reasons for this, but it's not really based on merit.
I think a lot of people joined Mastodon wanting a Twitter clone. It's obviously not and Bluesky is, so people moved there. The approach Mastodon takes is far from perfect, and may not work out in the long run. But it seems like it's worth at least trying something different.
OP is obviously very eco-concious.. Instead of using an LLM to generate crap (and burn half the Amazon while doing it) they just recycled
The thing is even if AI could do all that (which is doubtful in my life time), you would still need someone to prompt it with something interesting. And CEO types have never had an interesting idea in their lives
People say humans firing lightning bolts out of their hands is a long way off, but look at the progress we've made on lasers in the last few decades. I reckon we're 5 years away, and we should be enacting laws to stop someone doing a Palpatine.
I agree the execution of the end of GoT was bad (i.e. the problems weren't just the issue of everything needing to come to a head). There were a lot of different complaints about how GoT ended, but I definitely saw a lot about how it was all just battles in the last season and no nuance. I think that was always going to be hard to avoid given how GRRM had set up the main plot. And I think he will find it hard to avoid when writing the last 2 books, which could be part of the reason he doesn't want to do it.
Unfortunately, AfD and Musk won't hesitate to paint this as an islamist attack. They'll just claim the X posts are fake if necessary.
It may even have been the attackers' goal.
