Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

For years, researchers have described how generative AI would change influence ops. But something more interesting is happening now: AI is running the back office. A Wagner entity even used Claude to rate employees & recommend whom to fire. From me, at Lawfare: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/prod...
