A possible suspect of the attack of @PeterRdeV is a 21-year-old rapper, some media say. Here is a photo, unverified, of him as a 14-year-old boy, watching So you Think You Can Dance, RTL 5. RTL is the same station as the victim is working for. (1/...)
His former company was into dancing, to be precise, into "singing, giving performances, dancing, and production". The company was only dissolved recently, on May 27 of 2021 (2/...)
I found this, not yet published picture, by cross-referencing his e-mail address, found in the chamber of commerce in NL, with known databases. He used this photo for a Gmail account (3/...)
Can you identify the picture behind the suspect? Use Google Lens (4/...)
There are also some clues in the photo which help you to find the precise location. Anyway, that's it for now, just showing once more the wonders of #osint without hopefully hindering actual police work (5/..)
Dutch public tv station @nos just quoted this tweet in 20.00 news. I wrote @nosnieuws, tnx for spotting this error @bits2read ! (7/7)
OK! I think I got my facts straight now. The suspect of the attack on Dutch reporter indeed did not compete in SYTYCD but SYTYCD Next Generation, where younger people are allowed. Here is some proof from his own Twitter account (8/…)
Compare en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_You_Th… with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_You_Th…, and you will notice that the second link backs up the suspects claim from my last tweet. There were two Delano’s : one in 2012 and our suspect , in 2013 . Hence I retract my retraction! (9/..)(I was a bit too careful )
He was not 14 during the taping, but 13, based on Dutch data. The guy did a hip-hop solo but never made it to the final studio show (10/...)
The at that time RTL presenter @liekevanlexmond with the 13 year old hip hop dancer who is now suspect. What a tragic story this is (11/…)

Introducing the first public version of a versatile, still experimental tool for image detection. What can you do with it? It's aimed at reporters, writers and investigators. (1/6) Detectai.Live
Upload a picture and get web links, when found. Nice feature is that it will also detect public faces, something that Google doesn't do that well anymore. We run Google Vision under the hood for this, with Vertrext (2/6)
If the picture could be fake (= ai generated) then you will get after 15 seconds a verdict that helps you to judge it. If we find links, we want you to have a look yourself. If not, it will try to give a verdict in a percentage, and explain why. (3/6)
ChatGPT quietly scrubbed today nearly 50,000 shared conversations from Google's index after our investigation. They thought they'd solved the problem. They were wrong. (1/5)
A new Digital Digging investigation, conducted with @osint77760, has uncovered 110,000 ChatGPT conversations preserved in 's Wayback Machine—a digital time capsule OpenAI can't touch. (2/5)Archive.org
@osint77760 While OpenAI scrambled to de-index conversations from Google, they forgot the internet's most basic rule—nothing truly disappears. had already captured everything. (3/5)Archive.org
New investigation: when I asked chatbots for something behind a paywall, they delivered the complete story—including quotes that should have been impossible to access without paying. This isn't a bug. It's a feature digitaldigging.org/p/how-ai-bots-…
ChatGPT, Perplexity & Grok systematically access subscriber-only content from major publications—often requiring just 2-5 follow-up questions to extract complete articles. Gemini and Claude are less intrusive. (2/5)
Another finding: @Musk's new Grok 4 (SuperGrok) has paywall-busting direct X integration. It systematically mines social media discussions, screenshots, and quoted excerpts that users share from the paywalled content. (3/5)
I decided to use my lunch time to show you how easy it is to make a fake news story in 30 minutes with Veo3 (I didn't try to perfect it). First: the footage. A mayor comes with a crazy idea and people hate it: (1/10) #verification #ai
What's needed to create this fake uproar in 28 minutes? Access to Google's Veo3. The same AI tool Google promotes for 'creative content' can fabricate creative misinformation. 🧵2/10
The 7-second limit creates a huge challenge: how do you maintain continuity? Solution: Split single interviews across multiple clips, use different camera angles of the same 'event,' create matching audio that bridges scenes. 🧵3/10
Volgograd Oil Refinery is bombarded by Ukraine. Actual footage generated by ….. #AI based on just one picture (2) I gave it and the prompt “add explosions” #verification #geolocation #fakenews via It’s not that easy to detect that this is a fake video (1/2)vidu.studio
Sharpness: The lowest sharpness is 4.76, which is a very low value. This suggests some frames may have been smoothed or blurred, possibly as a result of manipulation or Al generation. Natural textures may have been lost in these frames.
Texture Changes: The variation between the highest (597.85) and lowest (166.14) gradient magnitudes indicates some frames have significantly less texture, further supporting the possibility of manipulation.
In this Twitter storm of 30 tweets, I'll unveil how Google's algorithms operate. Just confirmed: the March 2024 #googleleaks of Google's API docs on GitHub & Hexdocs are real. They reveal Google's tactics in market control, search influence, and data handling, raising privacy and ethical concerns. (1/30)
1. An API called NavBoost uses click data to adjust rankings. Popular results get boosted, distorting relevance for anyone who wants to go deeper. #GoogleLeaks #MarketManipulation
2. Google’s scores image aesthetics to influence search results. Visual appeal can outweigh relevance. #GoogleLeaks
