About this episode
The episode discusses how modern propaganda operates as an engineered algorithm influenced by ideology and identity, particularly in the context of AI.
Modern propaganda isn’t random noise. It’s a repeatable, engineered algorithm that starts with ideology, weaponizes identity, and manufactures conflict. Once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it.What happens with AI? Buy me a coffee https://ko-fi.com/datascience Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/4UNKGf3 ✨ Connect with us!
