FoxVox – how AI can subtly manipulate the content you consume
I've been thinking about AI propaganda risks lately and built this little demo in my time as a contractor at Palisade Research lab. It's a browser extension that ~instantly rewrites any given page to a particular political slant or agenda (has buttons for liberal, conservative, humorous, and conspiracy). Many of my friends found screenshots of foxed up NYT and Twitter feeds disturbing: now you can make these too. I built this in 2 weeks; wonder what better-resourced disinformation actors can do these days.

In plain words
FoxVox is a browser extension that uses AI to rewrite web page content according to selected political perspectives or agendas, including liberal, conservative, humorous, and conspiracy angles. Built as a demonstration project, it shows how quickly AI can transform news articles and social media feeds to reflect different viewpoints. The tool is designed to illustrate potential propaganda and misinformation risks posed by accessible AI technology.

How AI could subtly manipulate the content you consume
FoxVox is an open-source Chrome extension powered by GPT-4. We created FoxVox to demonstrate how AI can be used to subtly manipulate the content you consume. It can even slant the whole New York Times to look like it was written by Fox, or by Vox. It can process large pages like the NYT in less than 10 seconds, and can process hundreds of pages for less than $20. The text quality could be significantly improved by using chain of thought reasoning, which would either cost more or take longer to load. As a warm-up, you can rewrite your coworker’s twitter, github, or linkedin account. Show them your screen for a fun reaction! Just make sure to stop them before they change all their passwordsfrom palisaderesearch.org

I removed politics from Twitter with AI2024 · mindfw.com · ▲40I'm sure you all saw the debate a few days ago, alongside all the tech influencoors giving their mid-takes about politics. Doesn't it get tiring? That's why I built mindfirewall a chrome extension that uses AI to filter out tweets. You'll never have to see politics, war, or negativity on your timeline again.

Filter out engagement bait and politics on your X/Twitter feed2025 · unbaited.danielpetho.com · ▲71hi friends! i'm pretty tired of engagement bait and all the political nonsense on my x/twitter feed. i was curious if i could use an llm to filter out these type of content, so i prototyped a quick chrome extension. it uses LLama 3.3 to analyze the tweet through https://groq.com/ (because they are super-super fast). the extension is available in the chrome store, also there is a link to the repo. - you can tweak the system prompt for the filtering - but you need your own API key from Groq (you can get one for free)
Chrome extension to hide AI/GPT related submissions from HN2023 · chrome.google.com · ▲99Hi All, since I am consistently overwhelmed with all the all the ai/gpt news on the hn front page I built this simple extension to filter out such articles and show them on the extension popup if I'm in the mood to read. I am interested in the topic but just tired of reading the similar discussions (local models, llama on mac, ai taking away our jobs, etc) all the time. Every few days I search for topics on hn.algolia.com and go over any exciting development. Ironically, since this was the first time I built an extension chat-gpt helped build 90% of the extension since . Also once…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
