"This challenge was about the threat posed by illicit influence operations on Twitter in order to sway opinion to be positive or negative on a targeted topic.
DARPA ran a challenge and said- your job is to identify bots that are trying to sway opinion towards a pro-vaccination… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
“All we knew is that they were trying to put out tweets that were pro-vaccination. So we said okay, this is a moving target. We need a framework that adapts dynamically to what we are seeing.
Those of you that work in Machine Learning- how many of you believe that totally… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
DARPA isn’t the main issue and in fact it seems like DARPA was screwed over in the process. Something was botched in the transition.

I handed my most important Ruby files to Mike Benz believing he actually cared about the country.
First, he asked if he could share my files with his Intel friends at NSA. Next, he introduced me to John Solomon.
Benz promised to cover The Ruby Files. Instead - he buried my work and proceeded to come up with excuse after excuse as to why he couldn’t.
Next thing I know - he’s on Tucker Carlson and being called the top AI Censorship expert in the world.
He blocked me when I called him out and never spoke to me again.
I was told that my Ruby Files reporting would be on Hannity.
I was also told I basically needed to work with them and do it their way. Something felt off about all of it. I didn’t proceed.
My work was never on Hannity.
My life continued to get worse and worse.
Why? Because they knew what I had and I refused to play ball.
I have stayed silent about this for over a year. I will continue to stay silent about the worst parts of this because I don’t want to deal with this litigious gang of mobsters. Trust me when I say that these are not good people. I am not crazy. They could make any decent person look crazy. This is what they are best at.
Thousands of pages from Google's internal Content API Warehouse detailing over 14,014 attributes related to Google's ranking systems. The screenshots I posted are from those files.
Why does this matter? What is the context?
Two of the attributes include signals related to Covid authority and election scoring.
So what?
This potentially means Google had an internal config for domain level authority scoring pertaining to elections and vaccines.
Who cares?
People interested in the topic of Internet censorship should ideally care.
