Some of the most widely shared content from the Iran conflict so far has been AI-animated LEGO videos released as part of a government's messaging. This article calls it "slopaganda," and both the U.S. and Iran have been using it from official accounts. We have laws of war for autonomous weapons, while governments posting AI-generated memes from official channels have no rules at all, and the author makes a good case that this is a form of militarized AI too. Just a non-lethal one. For years, security awareness training told people one simple thing: when in doubt, go to the official source. That advice stops working when the official source is posting memes. A few things this changes for anyone running security or communications: - Your employees are being trained, every day, to expect official accounts to be casual and unreliable. That makes impersonation easier and weakens the "does this sound right?" instinct. - AI-generated content is now cheap enough that a nation-state, a scammer, and a bored teenager can produce it all at the same quality. The content itself tells you nothing about who made it. - Verification has to move from "does this look real" to "did this come through a channel I can confirm?" That means signed messages, known domains, and a phone call when it matters. I'd love to see the same energy that goes into AI weapons policy applied to AI messaging from official accounts. In the meantime, keep your own company's official channels boring and factual. Boring is a security feature. https://philosophynews.com/the-ethics-of-slopaganda/ #Cybersecurity #AI #Disinformation #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #DeepFakes
