SPC Kevin Ford - Yeah, I listened closer after your first comment. I didn't know anything about fandom either. My bad

MSG Billy Brumfield - No problem, it happens. We are under a constant misinformation war, not only by state actors but by private individuals and groups with a variety of motives. They rely heavily on people not being able to discern what is and isn't real as it can take a fair amount of technical understanding to do that. Understanding that a lot of the public doesn't have. It is too specialized, too many different technology areas to know them all, etc.

I was thinking more about the Alexa thing too. There is the possibility of the person creating the video directly being a bad actor or purposely consuming bad Alexa content. There is something called Alexa Skill Blueprints where you can train Alexa to respond to certain questions exactly how you want it to and then even share these blueprints with the public.

MSG Billy Brumfield - They may have used something like this one:

SPC Kevin Ford - It's been awhile since I've said this but, we are living in a propagandists wet dream!
