    To avoid fakes, the statements will be accompanied by a QR code linking them to text versions on the ministry’s website.

    Great idea, since everyone will check if the URL behind the code is the legit foreign ministry. Nobody would use a URL shortener and redirect everyone to real-ukrainian-website.russian-kgb.gov/agitprop/ukraine-fakes/legit-site.html

        We decided to stop using that word, I think you can think of a better one.

    This is creepy and seems wildly unnecessary.

      Ukraine is a test bed for the craziest bullshit Silicon Valley has to offer.

      Much like with Vietnam being the American testing ground for counterinsurgency and Palestine as demo space for modern policing techniques, we’re using Ukraine to run out all sorts of crazy political and military tech ideas.

      AI politicians are Peter Thiel and Mark Andressen’s wet dream. And Ukraine is where we’re going to see if they work.

    So the foreign ministry has a vtuber. Presumably to protect their identity? Fine. Are we going to entertain ragebait about it?

    So that’s what our tax dollars are funding…?

    Fun little AI projects instead of bullets.
