   I cannot express how important it is to build in person networks where you can meet and verify those you organize with. The ease and hyperreal nature of online interactions is rapidly becoming a time sink and liability, as if it wasn't already. Print zines and pamphlets. Talk to your neighbors. Make fewer but tighter connections instead of chasing "reach." And make sure those around you do the same.

     "Besides scanning social media and engaging suspects with AI personas, the presentation says that Overwatch can use generative AI to create “proof of life” images of a person holding a sign with a username and date written on it in pen."

     @CarolynFus A person has to actually show up and can get their ass beat. Infinite bots is zero risk and far easier.

     even so ... knowing history of 50s & 60s counter culture & civil rights organizing, in person groups can also be infiltrated by law enforcement.
