X-Troll: eXplainable Detection of State-Sponsored Information Operations Agents
State-sponsored trolls, malicious actors who deploy sophisticated linguistic manipulation in coordinated information campaigns, posing threats to online discourse integrity. While Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on general natural language processing (NLP) tasks, they struggle with subtle propaganda detection and operate as ``black boxes'', providing no interpretable insights into manipulation strategies. This paper introduces X-Troll, a novel framework that bridges this…

There is a lot of persistent trolling on Mastodon towards Ukraine, probably organised and Russian because when i "block" , the same account reappears quickly with a different name.

Blue Jays troll Browns, Guardians after error https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45591838/toronto-blue-jays-cleveland-browns-guardians-troll-error

I've noticed more Russian propaganda bots that just appear and get reported and banned within a few hours. The accounts tend to be around for a few days. They often have super obvious AI generated avatars, no posts of their own, and copy and paste replies with little to no actual content. The propaganda doesn't even seem like it's trying. Just the same painfully obviously false stuff about #Ukraine.
Meanwhile, LLMs exist that can make those types of attacks far more subtle. Has anyone seen an analysis of Russian bot behavior over time? It seems like they're getting worse, but it's hard to know if there isn't something else going on.
From my perspective, it just kind of looks like the whole machine is falling apart. It's really pathetic to see how even Russian propaganda, which is like... their main thing, seems to have collapsed. They used to try, now it seems like even the troll farms are phoning it in. At some point you gotta wonder how long Putin has left before he gets the Gaddafi treatment.

"For a couple o' pins," says Troll, and grins,
"I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins.
A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet!

Hee now! See now!
I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins;
I've a mind to dine on thee now."
But just as he thought his dinner was caught,
He found his hands had hold of naught.

Ms. Marvel is #1. 🤷

No. Just... no. I gotta wonder if this is an #MCU fan troll.

Amazing how many miserable fucks are on here (Mastodon) who just lurk and then shit into other people’s replies just to troll.

Numerical modeling of isochoric heating experiments using the TROLL code in the warm dense matter regime
Experiments of isochoric heating by protons of solid material were recently performed at LULI laser facilities. In these experiments, protons, produced from target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) of Au foil with the PICO2000 laser, deposit their energy into an aluminum or copper foil initially at room temperature and solid density. The heated material reaches the warm dense matter regime with temperature in the rear face of the material between 1 and 5 eV. The temperature is inferred by strea…

A Coarsening Approach to the Troll Aquifer Model
Effective management of pressure communication and interference between concurrent CO$_2$ storage operations is essential for the development of gigaton-scale storage hubs. Coarse models in reservoir simulation offer a simplified representation of the subsurface to efficiently predict pressure distribution. By averaging properties over larger grid blocks, coarsened models significantly reduce computational demands, enabling faster and more manageable simulations. The approach focuses on preserv…

So, the maga-nazis go after universities because students question (as I do) the genocidal policies and acts of the government of Israel (as distinguished from the people of Israel) against Gaza.
Yet they fail to repudiate, or even question, those who clearly hate Jews and open espouse repressive measures.

3. a backlash to the backlash from the vast "anti-woke" media, which yields
4. weeks of coverage & boosted jeans sales.

Tesla shareholders will apparently get to vote on whether Tesla should bail out Xai/Twitter.
Do Tesla shareholders want to give Musk more money in return for Tesla owning part of his nazi AI model and his nazi troll site?
We shall see. My guess is yes! Tesla share owners will vote to dilute themselves in return for the chance to bail out the failing Twitter and Grok.
