AI-generated videos promoting Poland’s exit from the European Union have appeared on Polish-language social media, featuring non-existent, attractive young women advocating for “Polexit”.
One TikTok account called “Prawilne Polki” published content showing women dressed in T-shirts bearing Polish flags and patriotic symbols, European analytics collective Res Futura said. The content targeted audiences aged 15 to 25.
The videos featured statements including: “I want Polexit because I want freedom of choice, even if it will be more expensive. I don’t remember Poland before the European Union, but I feel it was more Polish then.”
I think the appropriate response to this is to make AI videos of beatiful russian women telling russians to revolt against Putin
Besides of the “This is the weapon of the enemy” frame from The Dark Knight Returns, let me remind you who runs and trains these AI models. They want the EU gone. At best, you’ll be shoveling money into it, at worst your IP will be terminated for “spam”.
They thought pushing UK out of the EU would break it And we grew stronger than ever.
Poland’s exit isn’t the breaking of the EU. It’s proving a plan of attack that will break it.
Slowly chipping away at the edges. Attacking country by country with misinformation until every country is isolated again, ruled by whatever oligarch decides to set up shop there.
The point of a union is the united effort. If you start thinking in terms of what parts you can cut out without issue or to “grow stronger” then you might as well stop the charade and pick who’s running the new empire.
didn’t it only benefit like 5 wealthy shitstains?
No need for AI slop. There are already young russian women speaking loudly against Putin. What is lacking is the ability for opponents to have their voice heard in Russia.
The Pussy Riot “girls” are in their thirties, approaching forty. They are exiled and declared to be a terrorist organisation. And they are feminists and Punk. Wonderful, strong, independent women.
If you want to use sex to sell the idea of a breakup of the Russian empire to Russian men, I’m not sure whether Pussy Riot will work.
Thirty is young enough, but if younger people want to speak then it’s great. I hope it’d more convincing to have real humans speak out than bots.
Russians opposing Putin are eventually declared extremist and either in exile, poisoned, or sent to prison.
So the only persons alive and able to openly critize Putin are outside Russia.
The appropriate response is sending more weapons and ammo to Ukraine
Not the Ai War we deserve, but the Ai War we need.

The easiest solution is to have the USA annex Russia. That stops the tomfoolery that Russia exerts in every area, including the US.
That’s not easy at all with their useful idiot in the whitehouse.
You’re right, the whole republican arm of our government supports Russia. However, Russia is both the ripest it has ever been and the most vulnerable it has ever been.
The EU needs to finally take this threat seriously and respond with even more attractive Ai women.
But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America.

This shows how big the potential of the EU is. The USA cannot allow a strong EU to emerge.
I’m sure it’s paid for by musk and Thiel
And their boss, Vlad
…and Xi.
not to forget Sauron.
The fucking Russians continue to play games in Poland.
Bigger question is… is it effective? That’s the worrysome part. It worked (not videos, but literally fake news) for the UK. The hybrid war on Europe has reached new heights. Any Poles that want to chip in?
Also what do we do as counter measure? Generate videos to promote EU and then throw that out there? How do we deal with that?
Work on reducing the frustrations of the target demographic of this propaganda. For example, the housing crisis. Or the rich getting richer while stealing the future of the young.
The problem is a lot of these things take many many years to make better.
A lot of actions were taking here years ago and were starting to see rents come down, but it isn’t a fast thing.
Then with people having the memory of a goldfish, the people trying to at least partially fix things don’t get the outcome fast enough because it’s slow, and the right wing fascists come in and say see, it didn’t work, and tear it all down. Then due to the delay in everything the previous governments actions start to show some benefit and the fascists say, see we did it, until things turn to shit and the people wanting to fix things take over again.
And the cycle never fucking ends.
Straight up porn, and when everyone arrives they start yelling about how awesome the EU is.
What about fighting back with porn of these same AI propagandists saying I’m fake, but I’m a patriotic Pole and I’ll fuck you!
Porn, and gets across they aren’t real.
Kill Billionaires.
You don’t fight fire with fire. Disinformation can only be fought with exposure and transparency. Is it “the dream” to be in the EU? No. But it damn well has its benefits. And neither Russia, nor USA have any interest for a strong, independent Europe.
A campaign that fights the bulshit being spread around, with actual facts and sources - that, unfortunately, is boring. So, maybe, real OF models need to volunteer to deliver facts while wearing skimpy clothing? I don’t know. “Paid for” messages can and will come across as insincere.
Pole chipping in. From what I’ve read, this psy-op has been in effect for around two weeks, but this is the first time I hear of it.
Doesn’t have to mean it wasn’t effective, though. It’s probably just waiting to hit critical mass. And when it does, knowing the current state of our demographic, it might sway a very significant amount of people towards the literal Torment Nexus from the classic novel Don’t Build The Torment Nexus
Due to tight controls over the media in authoritarian regimes like China or Russia, they aren’t as vulnerable to this vector of foreign propaganda. But they sure as hell make a tonne of this kind of thing and ship it overseas. How can this asymmetry be addressed or mitigated?
Mass internet exodus, return to bbs
Betting 100$ that Russia somehow involved in this.
We need counter-operation where hot girls start promoting polexit then gradually motivate it with necessity of submission to Russia and start “Poles are confused Russians” narrative. I don’t know what would trigger Poles more than that.
P.S. 7/10, 4/10, 4/10
The younger crowd… and probably also the older… are doomed.
Someone should just flip it on them and make videos of a bunch of hairy knuckle dragging slobs also talking about why it’s great.
I’ve run into a couple of Discords that are all but exclusively about making (unmarked) AI influencers, aka attractive ~20yo women on Insta/TikTok.
There are so many, literally like giant farms they run. And they get tons of engagement on the accounts I check.
And that’s not even about politics, it’s folks making a quick buck…
…You know. In hindsight, the whole premise of monetizing attractive photos via algorithms and ads wasn’t such a great idea.
