The question always these days is: "Is it a machine pretending to be a person, or a person acting like a machine?"

In either case, the answer is to disengage.

I don't know of any Trump supporters who use "MAGA" when they write posts. The wording used is suspect, regular folk don't write/speak that way.

Smells like law enforcement to me, or someone with a mental disorder. Or someone with a mental disorder contracted to law enforcement.

A variation of the old "Show up in comments/replies, agree with whatever reasonable point was made, and then say something ludicrous or hateful, so as to make people doubt the reasonable point, routine."

I took one brief try in Notes and immediately ran away in horror. It destroys the best part of Substack, the fenced-off two-way connection between subscribers and writers. Notes is just one more place where bullies and fight-starters can create chaos.

NATO PsyWar has arrived. Now that Twitter is only populated by PC/PR for compliant white collars. They are coming for those voices who escaped the last 3 years, They will blame rogue AI, rogue kid with a black Hoodie. Just in case u were in denial : You made the list Tessa! , you are a dissident.

THAT SAID your in good company. 😎

Hmmm. Yes.

I wrote about that in my essay about Peterson's ARC being a cabal construct. The importance of paying attention to those whose energy are creating division and camps. *That* is the energy of the cabal, and is to be avoided at all costs.

That particular exchange you have shown looks to me like someone using AI software to simulate an human with artificial sympathy. I have 'someone' (some'thing' ?) posting on my substack occasionally too that I suspect is a chaos maker. Might be human. I've seen that he has posted identical posts somewhere else. In that case, likely a bot.

Thanks for the heads up. There are forces out there along the lines of agent provocateurs.

Unsurprising. Even in regular substack comments, I see iffy stuff. Thanks for the heads up!

You Are Greatly Appreciated.

There Is A Thin Line

Between The Ignorant

And The Willfully Ignorant.

It Is A Line So Meaningless

That It Can Only Be Scribbled

By Those Who Are Only Able

To Do As They Are Told

Or As Is Expected.

A Far Bolder Line Is Drawn

Between Ignorance & Knowledge

And It Is Drawn

By The Ability

To Think For One's Own Self.

Keep Drawing Your Bold Lines

And Revel In The Ignorance

Of The Many

Who Can Do No Better

Than Finger Paint Their Existence.

Thanks for the heads up. I have not come across that one yet myself, but I did have another one called "Hannah Williams" blow up my notifications on here a while back.

Some kind of new counter intelligence "sock puppets" being unleashed using AI "language models" to sow discord and division perhaps?
