Well, not the state. A Texas-based company was behind the robo-calls to Dems. It impersonated Biden, and told them not to vote.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/06/us/politics/bid...

The New Hampshire attorney general said on Tuesday that his office, alongside federal officials and other state attorneys general, had identified the company behind robocalls last month that used an impersonation of President Biden’s voice to urge Democrats not to vote in the state’s primary.

The attorney general, John M. Formella, said that the calls had originated with Life Corporation, a Texas-based company owned by Walter Monk. Mr. Formella noted that the calls were routed through a provider called Lingo Telecom.


IMHO, life in prison without parole for a stunt like this.

Normal, keep a look out for the push polls too. We'll see how many people they dump off voter registers too.

Before long, AI will allow you to see video of Biden making that call from the beach in Martha's vineyard. It will become increasing difficult to distinguish video of real reality versus an artificial manufactured reality. Having video will lose some of its persuasive credibility.

I agree. We may actually have to go back to film to assure reality. Digital is too easy to manipulate. But if you have the physical film, it's easy to detect if it's been tampered with.

Yes, advance analytical techniques used by AI to detect AI may work for a while. 😊 😜 But think of the porn! 😏

Especially when inevitably merged with robotics. I think Musk may be working on this...

Coupled with the neural link.... work output goes downhill.
