What are the philosophical implications of online active measures?
The key question is who are the warriors and why they fight. The answer is that there are two kinds of people, those seeking truth and justice, and those fighting for their own rights or the rights of their group.
Those seeking truth and justice fight for the good of all, while those fighting for their own rights or the rights of their group fight to protect themselves or their loved ones. In other words, they fight to kill others.
This is why the White Helmets are being killed, because they fight for all.
Now, let's apply this to online active measures. The aggressors are fighting for their rights and against the truth.
The defenders are fighting for the rights of all, while opposing lies.
Here is how online active measures make a difference. They are used to spread lies, undermine solidarity and sow hate.

You are getting an AI to generate text on different topics.
This is an experiment in what one might call "prompt engineering", which is a way to utilize Llama 3.1 405b, a neural network trained by Meta.
Llama is a language model. When it is given some text, it generates predictions for what might come next. It is remarkably good at adapting to different contexts, as defined by a prompt (in this case, hidden), which sets the scene for what type of text will be generated.
Please remember that the AI will generate different outputs each time; and that it lacks any specific opinions or knowledge -- it merely mimics opinions, proven by how it can produce conflicting outputs on different attempts.
Feel free to share interesting outputs to /r/philosopherAI on Reddit.
