🚨 New blog:
The open web is being poisoned by AI slop, synthetic personas, fake context and amplified lies.

Evidence poisoning is the #OSINT is real !

I generated a realistic Amsterdam street with AI.
It does not exist.
Then I asked a new ChatGPT chat to geolocate it.
It confidently named a real street.
Then it found no strong AI tells.
For OSINT, seeing is no longer believing.
Verification is.

AI can generate a convincing Amsterdam street that never existed, then fail to recognize its own fiction when asked to geolocate it. This experiment shows why visual plausibility is no longer proof. F...

My latest blog looks at how people can be spotted online, groomed, moved into closed spaces, and turned into disposable proxies for real-world violence.
From Jewish targets to dissidents, this is about the runway before the fire starts.
