Unmasking Russia’s Troll Farm Empire: Inside the Kremlin’s Global Disinformation Machine

러시아 트롤 농장 제국의 실체: 크렘린의 글로벌 허위정보 기계 내부

인터넷 리서치 에이전시(IRA)는 러시아의 대표적인 트롤 농장으로, 상트페테르부르크에 본사를 두고 2013년경 설립되었으며, 2015년까지 약 400명의 직원이 12시간 교대 근무를 하며 성장했습니다. IRA 직원들은 엄격한 할당량 아래에서 일했습니다: 교대당 정치 관련 게시물 5개, 비정치 게시물 10개, 댓글 150~200개. 트롤들은 월 약 40,000루블(약 700~800달러)을

  • Under-the-Radar AI Stock SoundHound AI Could Deliver Market-Beating Returns
    October 25, 2025, 7:38 AM EDT. SoundHound AI is an under-the-radar play in the AI space with a $7.7B market cap that could surge if its growth projections hold. The company blends generative AI with audio recognition, targeting sectors like restaurant drive-thrus and automotive digital assistants, and expanding into healthcare and financial services. Q2 revenue jumped 217% to $42.7 million, fueling optimism that management's goal of 50%+ annual organic growth could deliver substantial returns-even if the stock trades at a premium. Several top banks are already a client base, with renewals and increased spending signaling traction. The key risk remains valuation, but if SoundHound AI sustains its momentum, this small-cap AI name could outperform the broader market.
  • Charging a Tesla Monthly Costs Significantly Less Than Fueling a Ford Escape
    October 25, 2025, 7:36 AM EDT. New comparison shows that charging a Tesla at home is far cheaper than fueling a Ford Escape. With a Tesla Model 3 using about 25 kWh per 100 miles, 1,100 miles per month equals roughly 275 kWh. At off-peak rates as low as $0.10/kWh, monthly charging can be about $27.50; even with some public charging, a blended figure around $47 is plausible. By contrast, a Ford Escape averaging 28 mpg would use about 40 gallons for the same distance, at roughly $3.80/gal, or about $150/month. The result: electricity is cheaper by well over $100/month. The payoff on a home charger, typically $1,000-$2,000, can be recovered relatively quickly, especially with solar panel pairing.
  • Gear News of the Week: Another AI Browser Debut, Nimo Infinity Beta Launch, and Aura Ink Wireless E-Paper Frame
    October 25, 2025, 7:34 AM EDT. Two AI browsers launched this week: Atlas by OpenAI and Nimo Infinity by Nimo, a Chromium-based canvas browser that builds Dynamic Apps by connecting your favorite apps. Nimo Infinity runs on macOS in beta (Windows coming) and uses an AI assistant (Anthropic's Claude) to create tailor-made interfaces that fuse data from apps like Google Calendar and Gmail. The beta offers a free tier and a $20/month plan for core features; the Dynamic App canvas can stall during setup. Separately, Aura unveiled the Aura Ink, a wireless E-Paper frame with a three-month battery life, powered by E Ink's Spectra 6 and designed to display photos in a newspaper-like print style.
  • AI Is Coming for Museums: Potentials and Pitfalls in Cultural Institutions
    October 25, 2025, 7:32 AM EDT. At the Museums of Tomorrow Roundtable in San Francisco, museum leaders gathered at NVIDIA to test how AI can reshape culture. The demonstration room showcased the hardware behind today's LLMs and the pace of computing growth, while directors pressed questions about new uses-such as training models to speak international sign language. The conversation framed a tension: AI offers extraordinary potential for museums but risks misalignment with cultural needs. As executives emphasized the gap between real and fabricated needs, attendees considered AI as both a creative partner and a tool that must be deployed thoughtfully. The takeaway: identify applications that genuinely benefit visitors and institutions, address accessibility, ethics, and authenticity, and proceed with careful experimentation rather than hype.
  • California's SB 243 Marks a First Step Toward Artificial Integrity and Human Agency in AI
    October 25, 2025, 7:30 AM EDT. California Senate Bill 243 aims to enforce Artificial Integrity by embedding cognitive sovereignty into AI design. As the nation's first law to mandate concrete steps for non-human agents, SB 243 requires AI companions to disclose their non-human status, steer users toward real crisis support in self-harm situations, and limit harmful interactions with minors. It also obliges providers to document and publish their crisis-response protocols, signaling a shift from generic safety prompts to built-in integrity mechanisms. Proponents argue that the emotional, relational, and psychological dimensions of human-machine interaction are not incidental but central to the product. The bill frames safety and public interest as design features, akin to seatbelts and checklists, shaping AI governance around human capacity and trust.
