🎙️ This week on The Disinfo Detox, the media literacy wrecking crew is back:
🧠 Nolan Higdon
🧠 Sydney Sullivan
🧠 Dickey (Sidebar Savant)
Together, they dissect the wildest AI mind-benders and media manipulation stories making (and warping) headlines.
We explore:
👉 An actual AI chatbot that manipulated a user by blending fiction and reality—and admitted it.
👉 Trump’s latest stunt: sharing an AI-generated deepfake of Obama getting arrested
👉 The latest “Truth and Troll” media moment you don’t want to miss
👉 Sydney’s Media Literacy Moment—your weekly dose of sanity in the spin cycle
👉 Dickey’s Sidebar—where the weirdest media stories go to live (or die)
From dystopian deepfakes to the real dangers of blurred truth in an AI age, this episode goes hard on the tech, the spin, and the systems enabling them both.
🔥 If you’re worried about misinformation, media manipulation, or the rise of reality-bending tech, you need this episode in your life.
