The author wrote that the concept of victory should mean readiness for immediate action, including air defense, ammunition, and efficient logistics. He added that NATO's eastern flank needed resilient infrastructure and joint exercises for the military, police, and other services. He also stated that Russia should know that its aggression would end in failure. #NATO #obrona #bezpieczeństwo #PL #NATO #RU (translated)

Marmitta had written that Moreira, in the first meters of acceleration, looked like he could take off like Theo Hernández at his peak, but then he couldn't increase his speed and was caught up. According to the author, Theo had an extra gear; Marmitta had said he felt bitterness. #Calcio #Moreira #TheoHernandez (translated)

Kimi Antonelli, with a lead of 84 points, can theoretically secure the Formula 1 title in the next race in the United States, although it is more likely that the decision will only be made in Mexico, depending on the results of other drivers. #Formule1 #KimiAntonelli #Mercedes (translated)

During the #Melenchon2027 meeting in Clermont-Ferrand, Marianne Maximi, a deputy from Puy-de-Dôme and vice-president of the parliamentary group La France insoumise, stated that the government budget was not aimed at reducing pressure and that children would be on the front line of its social policy. She attributed to the government a record of 10 million poor people, one third of whom are children, and criticized it for planning 54 billion euros in budget cuts without affecting the wealthiest. She also accused the government of advocating the trickle-down theory with the support of the far right, which she said opposed her group's proposals for taxing the rich. Finally, she labeled the RN as an extension of Macronism. (translated)

Maranello Paddock indicated that Ferrari's "Macarena" rear wing planned for 2027 was already at an advanced stage of development and that its direction of rotation would not change. According to the account, the system had been refined compared to the 2026 version, particularly to speed up the closure of the movable profile, while maintaining a rotation of more than 200 degrees. The account added that the actuator had been improved in terms of weight and operation and that no aerodynamic reprogramming was planned. It specified that well-informed sources believed the wing complied with FIA requirements, even though the maximum operating time was reduced from 400 to 300 milliseconds, without the need for redesign at this stage. https://t.co/nhYMvNALim) #Ferrari #F1 #RèglementFIA (translated)

The author opposed the death penalty, arguing that the United States should not imitate what they called the execution culture of Iran’s theocratic regime or Afghanistan’s Taliban. They said President Trump’s call for the Fort Hood shooter to face a firing squad raised a fundamental question about what distinguished America from those regimes. https://t.co/HnJliv8xNo #NoDeathPenalty #JusticeForAll #EndCapitalPunishment #US #IR #AF

OpenAI has shocked the mathematical community by publishing AI-generated proofs for 377 mathematical theorems within just four weeks after solving a "Millennium Problem," while also raising concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on mathematical work. #Mathematik #KünstlicheIntelligenz #MillenniumProbleme (translated)

AuBonTouiteFrançais accused his interlocutor of lying and claimed that defending Ukraine served the interests of people seeking to seize Russian wealth. He added that this objective was, in his opinion, part of globalist theories like those of Mackinder, Brzezinski, and the PNAC, and that this position was dragging Europe into a war it did not want. #Ukraine #Guerre #ThéoriesMondialistes (translated)

Russia’s war propaganda gets a soundtrack – how AI-generated songs reached global streaming platforms Russian war propaganda is no longer confined to television broadcasts, Telegram channels or political videos. A study by the Ukrainian threat-intelligence organisation Terrecon has identified 981 songs combining signs of AI generation with pro-Russian military narratives, distributed through an ecosystem that reaches YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and SoundCloud. The songs range from sentimental ballads to rock and heavy metal. Their recurring themes are familiar from conventional Russian wartime propaganda: the heroisation of Russian soldiers, romanticisation of the war, mobilisation, the “Russian world”, commemoration of fallen troops and attacks on Ukraine and its armed forces. Some contain derogatory or dehumanising references to Ukrainians. What is new is not necessarily the message, but the production and distribution model: generative AI allows propagandistic music to be produced rapidly, cheaply and in quantities that would previously have required musicians, studios and producers. Nearly 1,000 tracks identified Terrecon examined 3,725 tracks collected from YouTube, YouTube Music, SoundCloud and the AI music platform Suno. After manual review, researchers classified 981 as showing both indications of AI generation and pro-Russian war propaganda. In 681 tracks they identified 728 propaganda-related keywords or phrases. The largest category was the glorification of the Russian military, followed by romanticised treatment of Moscow’s so-called “special military operation”, mobilisation appeals, narratives about the “Russian world”, and the cult of fallen soldiers and the state. The reach was not merely theoretical. Listening or viewing statistics were available for 608 of the identified tracks; together they had accumulated 86.8 million plays and views, according to Terrecon. A smaller group of 13 high-performing songs accounted for more than 53 million YouTube views and more than 67 million when YouTube Music was included. Among the better-known examples is “Power of Artillery”, a Russian-language rock song praising artillery weapons that passed two million views on YouTube. Most of the tracks for which publication dates could be established appeared after 2024, broadly coinciding with the rapid expansion of consumer AI music generators such as Suno and Udio. That correlation does not prove that AI alone caused the increase, but it illustrates how drastically the economics of production have changed. A propaganda song for as little as $11 Terrecon also tested how difficult it would be to commission such material. Researchers approached 25 creators producing AI-assisted militaristic music; 15 agreed to take commissions. Prices ranged from approximately $11 to $330, while delivery times ranged from two hours to three days. According to Terrecon, some were prepared to produce highly aggressive anti-Ukrainian material, including content intended for audiences involving children from occupied Ukrainian territories. Some creators used Russian intermediary services that provided access to Western AI tools such as Suno and Udio despite restrictions. The researchers then tested several AI generators themselves. Across 40 prompts submitted to Suno, Udio, Mureka, Google Flow Music and ElevenLabs, 25 resulted in successful generations, while safeguards were circumvented in 15 cases. Terrecon reported that four of the five services tested produced Russian-language material containing wartime narratives, although technical problems prevented comparable testing on some systems. In one Udio experiment, the researchers said the model itself introduced more explicit violent language than had appeared in the original promp These tests do not demonstrate that the commercial platforms knowingly support Russian propaganda. They show something narrower: existing safeguards can be inconsistent when political messaging is packaged as music. From generation to Spotify The distribution experiment may be the most revealing part of Terrecon’s research. The team deliberately uploaded test tracks containing explicit hostile language to YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify and Deezer. Terrecon says none was blocked during the experiment. On SoundCloud, researchers used an account identifying its location as Moscow, disclosed the use of AI and added markers including references to the Russian military and the war. The platform accepted the upload and subsequently offered paid promotional and distribution tools. This does not prove that streaming recommendation systems systematically promote pro-war music. There is currently insufficient public evidence to make that claim. It does demonstrate that material can enter the same commercial distribution infrastructure as ordinary music and, once there, potentially benefit from playlists, searches, sharing and recommendation mechanisms available to other releases. That distinction is important. Propaganda no longer has to announce itself as political communication. On a streaming platform it can look like another song. Culture as a delivery mechanism Music has always been used in wartime propaganda. What generative AI changes is scale. Instead of investing heavily in a limited number of patriotic performers or officially commissioned productions, creators can generate variations across styles, audiences and emotional registers at very low cost. Terrecon found material ranging from war rock to sentimental songs and content styled for younger audiences. Some creators also experimented with cloned celebrity voices and stylistic imitation of established musicians. The format also offers a different relationship with the audience. A political video asks a viewer to consume an argument. Music can accompany commuting, exercise or entertainment and may be encountered outside explicitly political spaces. This does not automatically make it more persuasive, and Terrecon’s research does not establish measurable effects on political attitudes. It does, however, place wartime narratives inside a cultural environment where users may not initially perceive themselves as consuming political messaging. An ecosystem, not a proven Kremlin command structure The strongest evidence supports describing this as a growing AI-assisted pro-Russian propaganda-music ecosystem, not a single operation controlled from Moscow. Terrecon did not establish that the Russian government created, financed or coordinated all 981 tracks. Reporting on the study likewise notes that the extent of direct state involvement remains unclear. There is broader evidence that the Russian state finances cultural projects and digital content supporting the war, including through state-backed funding bodies. That context matters, but it does not allow individual songs in Terrecon’s dataset to be attributed to the Kremlin without additional evidence. The significance of the case lies elsewhere. AI has reduced the cost of producing ideological content, intermediaries can help creators access generation tools, and global platforms can provide distribution. The result is a pipeline in which wartime propaganda no longer has to resemble propaganda at all. It can simply appear in a playlist.
