People can't detect AI video fakes or defend against millions of AI-driven cyber-attacks per minute. But AI can, and we should be glad it's also on our side. My latest Avast blog: blog.avast.com/ai-is-on-our-s…
I spent a few very interesting and informative days with @avast_antivirus's head of AI, Rasharshi Gupta, in Mexico City. He explained how only machine learning defenses can keep up with machine learning attacks.
Deterrence is also important. Stopping spam wasn't taken seriously until there were fines and even jail sentences for spammers & their hosts. Deterrence is especially essential when it comes to hostile state actors who are immune to standard legal action.

Refusing to acknowledge the maximalist nature of demagogues and autocrats is why democracies are so bad at resisting them. Acting like MAGA is going to follow the rules of free and fair elections in 2028 (with or without Trump) is a fantasy. 2026 is already in grave danger.
As with most of Trump‘s projection—accusing his enemies of his own crimes, flaws, & failings—his beloved big lie about the 2020 election being stolen paves the way for his own abuses. "They did it to us first" resentment is one of the core principles of autocratic movements.
Americans cannot wait for 2028 because if they do, there won’t be nearly as much they can do by then and it will be far more difficult to do it. Same with thinking you can wait until the midterms. No. Resist 100% now, on everything, or the elections process will be subverted.

Countries that recognize Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea: Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Syria, Afghanistan, North Korea. The US State Dept site (for now): "The US govt recognizes Crimea is part of Ukraine; it does not & will not recognize the purported annexation of Crimea." Image
Trump is so eager to please Putin that he votes with Russia in the UN to avoid even condemning Russia's war of aggression. Doing so in the name of peace is even more pathetic and revolting. Surrendering to a hostile invader only guarantees further aggression.
Why isn't every Republican being asked every day if they agree with Trump on aligning the United States with Russia against Ukraine, Europe, and the free world the US once led? This has nothing to do with "peace", only surrender and more war to come.

Trump again rushes to humiliate his sycophants and defenders with a full-throated embrace of Russia, the day after it murdered 30 civilians in Sumy, Ukraine with ballistic missiles on Palm Sunday. Where are the condemnations and resignations of the GOP who spoke out yesterday?
Did Biden launch those missiles? Zelenskyy? Nor did either of them start this war, but you couldn’t tell that from Trump's insane ravings. No mention of Putin, of course, who launched this attack the day after Trump's envoy personally kissed his ass, just to show who’s in charge.
This is the only formula Trump has left to defend his embrace of Putin & Russia. As for his "it wouldn’t have happened on my watch", 1, the war WAS going on during his term and he did nothing. 2, as I explained again in the Atlantic, Putin expected Trump to help him as he is now: Image

Sycophants and conspiracy loons praising the ass-kissing of a Russian mafia dictator by a US president and his envoy. This is Trump's America, and they want you to be as proud of it as they are. And on the day of Russia's bloodiest civilian attack of the year in Ukraine.
Much as Biden's "as long as it takes" was slippery rhetoric to avoid committing to Ukrainian victory, the Trump admin's "working for peace" is a merely a mask for collaborating with Russia to try to force Ukraine to surrender and be destroyed. Capitulation is not negotiation.
The US is siding with the Putin dictatorship, unable even to say Russia is the aggressor that started and that continues this war. That’s not being diplomatic, it’s being a liar and a collaborator with the Russian evil that slaughtered over 30 civilians today in Sumy.

During Trump‘s first term, I pointed out that anyone skeptical of what propaganda could do in an authoritarian state like Russia only needed to look at how easily one cable channel and some talk radio hosts flipped the GOP into worshiping a reality show host and hating the FBI.
Surveys follow the Dear Leader's agenda with terrible predictability. Russians had balanced views of the United States & NATO and were positive on the European Union until it suited Putin to make enemies out of them one by one. Public opinion quickly followed the propaganda line.
27% of Republicans now call Canada unfriendly or enemy. Canada! It is a measure of propaganda power and cult loyalty tests. Do they believe it or just know that’s what they’re supposed to say now? Is there a difference in practice? Russia and China as friends coming up next…

🎯 Ceasefires and negotiations are a way of telling Russia you are weak. Dictators act only from strength and assume others do the same. If you wanted them to stop and were strong enough to stop them, you would. If you don't, it's a green light.
Realize this is not a failure of Trump's negotiations. This is the actual point of Trump's negotiations, to protect Russia & Putin and to divide Ukraine into pieces and assets. There is no longer a charitable interpretation. It's Russia & USA vs Ukraine and Europe.
I'll keep repeating this because I still see people speaking as though Trump has been tricked by Putin or that he and his incompetent administration are just ignorant. No. Trump & Musk are taking instructions and working to save Putin & Russia and to destroy and loot Ukraine.
