Actors Recorded Videos for ‘Vladimir.’ It Turned Into Russian Propaganda.

Internet propagandists aligned with Russia have duped at least seven Western celebrities, including Elijah Wood and Priscilla Presley, into recording short videos to support its online information war against Ukraine, according to new security research by Microsoft.The celebrities look like they were asked to offer words of encouragement—apparently via the Cameo app—to someone named “Vladimir” who appears to be struggling with substance abuse, Microsoft said. Instead, these messages were edited, sometimes dressed up with emojis, links and the logos of media outlets and then shared online by the Russia-aligned trolls, the company said. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

AMD’s Piece of the AI Pie Will Need to Prove Sticky

Advanced Micro Devices has been defying the odds for years now. So it isn’t a great stretch to imagine the chip maker doing so again. The company more commonly known as AMD long competed primarily against Intel for a small slice of the personal computer and server markets. AMD’s fortunes began to brighten about five years ago thanks to smart design decisions, plus technological stumbles by its much larger rival. AMD now generates more than four times the annual revenue that it did in 2017; Intel’s business has shrunk by 16% in that same time. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
