A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

The government of Israel has hired a new conservative-aligned firm, Clock Tower X LLC, to create media for Gen Z audiences in a contract worth $6 million.

Clock Tower will even deploy “websites and content to deliver GPT framing results on GPT conversations.” In other words, Clock Tower will create new websites to influence how AI GPT models such as ChatGPT, which are trained on vast amounts of data from every corner of the internet, frame topics and respond to them — all on behalf of Israel.

At least 80 percent of content Clock Tower produces will be “tailored to Gen Z audiences across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets” with a minimum goal of 50 million impressions per month.

If you feel a multi-million dollar need to influence public opinion, mostly in the US, because your current actions have made your approval ratings drop off a cliff, maybe this is more the time to reconsider the actions that led you here?

Other than that, this is probably par for the course now. Russia is surely doing a similar thing. And whichever military conflict the US might find itself in in the hopefully far flung future, they would do the same probably. First casualty of war and all that.
