TODAY’S TOP STORIES

💵 How X users can earn thousands from US election misinformation and AI images

X users are profiting significantly from spreading election misinformation and AI-generated content, with some claiming to earn thousands of dollars through networks that share and amplify each other's content multiple times daily.

• Users create and share a mix of factual, dubious, and false content, including AI-generated visuals, to boost visibility and earnings.
  

• X's payment system now rewards engagement from premium users rather than ad views, potentially incentivizing sensational content.

• The platform lacks specific guidelines for addressing misinformation, unlike other social media platforms that can demonetize accounts spreading false information.

💻 How Generative AI Is flooding the web with deepfakes and disinformation

Generative AI technology has enabled an unprecedented surge in deepfake content across the internet, with synthetic media becoming increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect, particularly targeting political figures and creating non-consensual explicit content. The technology has evolved to create highly realistic fake videos, images, and audio that can fool both human observers and detection systems, leading to serious concerns about misinformation and privacy violations.

• Over 90-95% of deepfake videos since 2018 have been used for non-consensual pornography, with over 100,000 computer-generated fake nude images reported in a single study.

• Nation-states like Russia and China have been using GAN-generated images in social media influence campaigns to promote specific agendas and build credibility for fake personas.

• Recent legislation in California requires AI-generated content to include provenance disclosures and creates new crimes targeting AI-generated sexually explicit deepfakes.

👨‍💻 GitHub Copilot will support models from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI

GitHub has made a significant leap in AI-powered development by introducing multi-model support for Copilot, allowing developers to choose between models from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. This expansion enables developers to select the AI model that best suits their specific coding needs while maintaining a single login and subscription1. The rollout begins with Copilot Chat, featuring immediate access to OpenAI's models, followed by Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini 1.5 Pro in the coming weeks.

• Each model brings unique strengths - Claude 3.5 Sonnet excels at complex coding tasks, Gemini 1.5 Pro offers multi-modal capabilities, and OpenAI's new models provide advanced reasoning capabilities.

• The update maintains GitHub's commitment to being an open developer platform while giving organizations control over which models their teams can use.

• GitHub also introduced GitHub Spark, an AI-native tool that allows developers to build applications entirely using natural language1.
