The relentless, real-time tsunami of information creates perfect conditions for the spread of false stories, theories, conspiracy narratives, and leaks. Cognitive biases and mental shortcuts facilitate their further transmission. (Loc 1802) Ronald J. Deibert Wielka inwigilacja. (this is translation from polish edition) Today’s post was inspired by reading several books, which I’ll mention, and listening to interviews including one with Piotr Pytlakowski, who wrote The Zone of Oblivion about the disappearing and erasing of the history of Polish Jews.

What is this article about Today, I would like to engage in a small polemic with myself and with a text by Adam Majchrzak, who is an analyst and mentor at the fact-checking organization demagog.org.pl. I undertake this polemic as an amateur and demonstrate through a specific example the problem with information analysis and how to draw consequences if information is discredited - in my opinion, it’s important to go further and ask why it is discredited.

What the Article is About In today’s article, I will discuss the results of my research on AI-generated content published as books. Is the Polish publishing market being inundated with junk AI-generated publications, with fabricated, non-existent bibliographies and content of dubious scientific quality? In an era of disinformation, are renowned bookstores like HELION, PWN, and subscription services like Empik GO distributing and stocking such books in their offer, thereby contributing, knowingly or not, to misinformation?

What This Article Is About We will examine a conspiracy theory regarding the events of October 7, 2023, in Israel, which suggests that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, in light of political pressure and increasing calls for resignation, may have deliberately ignored intelligence warnings about a Hamas attack. These speculations are based on the assumption that the escalation of the conflict could serve to unite society around its leader. Key to refuting these claims will be a thorough investigation that clarifies the causes and circumstances related to the intelligence failure.

The Emergence of AI Sounds the Alarm at Google The appearance of LLMs, or large language models also known as AI, artificial intelligence, has caused significant turmoil around the world from employee layoffs and announcements of automation in certain industries, to questions about the future of humanity. AI has begun to change not only business, but has shown that by creating narratives and practically infinite content generation, it can cause a lot of disturbance in the world, and not only in the virtual one.

Introduction - How Many Cases are Similar to Purdue Pharma? The table below serves as an extension to the series of articles related to conspiracy theories surrounding big pharma, or the medical industry. In writing the series on Purdue Pharma and OxyContin, I reviewed numerous investigative articles from the US and documents from the US Department of Justice. At one point, I began to wonder how many cases resembled Purdue Pharma’s, where medical documentation was falsified, and tactics of discrediting and manipulation were employed?

Behind the Scenes of Manipulation In today’s article, I’ll delve into the conspiracy theories emerging from media news influenced by the police. These news might be part of an operational game or a way for the authorities to shape public opinion. This narrative often paves the way for allegations, political conflicts, and even court cases. If conspiracy theories and manipulated facts become the basis for legal proceedings, then we’re dealing with disinformation, a form of informational manipulation that culminates in a broader psychological operation.

Abstract: In this article, we delve into how the label of ‘conspiracy theory’ was strategically used to discredit critics of Big Pharma, focusing on the case of OxyContin. Discover the manipulative tactics of Purdue Pharma, their pivotal role in the opioid crisis in the US, and the broader implications for society. Uncover the sinister interplay of discrediting opponents, redefining terminologies, and the sway of financial interests over public health.
