It’s getting this crazy out there!
Android malware Crocodilus adds fake contacts to spoof trusted callers https://ground.news/article/android-malware-crocodilus-adds-fake-contacts-to-spoof-trusted-callers

See, this is another problem with the chatbot bullshit. Here, an OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries to 'subhuman' men saying they won't be able to find chicks no matter how much confidence they fake.
Dudes, let me tell you, this is TOTAL bullshit. I mean, if I can find a wife, ANYONE can. 😂 The incel bullshit is so sad. It's all lies, they're believing all these lies.

Linear inelastic kinetic equations modelling the spread of fake news and its interplay with personal awareness
In this paper, we introduce a kinetic model which describes a learning process leading individuals to build personal awareness about fake news. Next, we embed the results of this model into another kinetic model, which describes the popularity gained by news on social media conditioned to the reliability of the disseminated information. Both models are formulated in terms of linear inelastic Boltzmann-type equations, of which we investigate the main analytical properties - existence and uniquen…

Interpretable Graph Learning Over Sets of Temporally-Sparse Data
Real-world medical data often includes measurements from multiple signals that are collected at irregular and asynchronous time intervals. For example, different types of blood tests can be measured at different times and frequencies, resulting in fragmented and unevenly scattered temporal data. Similar issues of irregular sampling of different attributes occur in other domains, such as monitoring of large systems using event log files or the spread of fake news on social networks. Effectively …

The Stepwise Deception: Simulating the Evolution from True News to Fake News with LLM Agents
With the growing spread of misinformation online, understanding how true news evolves into fake news has become crucial for early detection and prevention. However, previous research has often assumed fake news inherently exists rather than exploring its gradual formation. To address this gap, we propose FUSE (Fake news evolUtion Simulation framEwork), a novel Large Language Model (LLM)-based simulation approach explicitly focusing on fake news evolution from real news. Our framework model a so…

AI-powered political fanfiction racks up views online
Fake stories about real politicians sometimes get more views than real-world reporting that’s not built for the algorithms.

Feds: Just change your State's whole way of doing things and make your ID's "Real ID". That way we can be sure they aren't fake.
Also Feds: This "Real ID" looks fake, we're deporting you!

U.S. citizen with REAL ID handcuffed in Alabama immigration raid and held before release
A U.S.-born citizen who was wrestled into the dirt, handcuffed and detained in a vehicle as part of an immigration raid had a REAL ID on him that was dismissed as fake, the man's cousin said Friday.

Modeling the Impact of Misinformation Dynamics on Antimicrobial Resistance
Antimicrobial Resistance (RAM) poses a significant threat to global public health, making important medicines less useful. While the medical and biological reasons behind RAM are well studied, we still don't know enough about how false health information affects people's actions, which can speed up RAM. This study presents a new mathematical model to investigate the complex interplay between the spread of misinformation and the dynamics of RAM. We adapt a multi-strain fake news model, including…
