Russia's best troll 'Jenna Abrams' is back with an incredible blog post about AI and the Matrix

Remember Jenna Abrams? The fake Twitter account that fooled pretty much every news outlet in America (including Mashable) on behalf of the Internet Research Agency, a Russian propaganda farm?

Well, despite being banned from Twitter, Jenna Abrams lives in a blog -- you guessed it, it's https://jennabrams.wordpress.com. The latest entry attempts to drag us in a dizzying hellscape of self-doubt, making us question the basic fabric of our reality.

"My fellow Americans! Yes it's me, your beloved Jenna Abrams, yeah, The Jenna Abrams. Did you miss me? I know. I missed you too," she said in the first line of her post, ironically (?) entitled "Our Democracy Has Been Hacked".

After thanking her supporters, Abrams says:

I hope you do not feel bad for falling for it. Because you should not. I did not fool you. At least it was not my intention. You might be feeling confused and insecure now, so here I am to help you.

Ehm, what? We weren't exactly expecting a theatrical confession, but this is simply baffling.

Jenna, who was outed by a congressional investigation, now probably thinks she's a Black Mirror-y hybrid of "Samantha" in the movie Her, and HAL 9000, with a flavour of Blade Runner's replicants.

But let's carry on with our analysis. Jenna says she's enjoyed reading the articles around the globe (a'ight) but several points "were missed or reversed."

She claims she doesn't believe in segregation, she insists she's not a Trump supporter and she's not far-right "I have always supported all the freedoms and choices people make, while I find some of the ideas people support and promote stupid, so I spoke about it. Just like you, right?" Abrams writes.

And there's more. And this is the "most important part", as Abrams says:

Calling me a Russian agent is insanely inaccurate and based on no evidence. I may be American, Canadian, Ecuadorian, or maybe I am artificial intelligence, and you live in Matrix, who knows. You may think I’m a pro-russian troll judging by the list of accounts revealed by the US intelligence community. But, please, read these two articles (about Charlie Peach and about Robert Delaware) and think again whether this list is reliable or not. Frankly speaking, I travel a lot, and I’ve visited Russia among other countries but I don’t think that’s how you turn into a Russian troll.

So let's recapitulate: a fake Twitter bot, created by a Russia-funded troll farm in St. Petersburg, claims to be real -- maybe I'm American, Canadian, Ecuadorian, she says -- or actually to be AI, and we all live in Matrix.

To support the claims, she links to a Vice article about a wrongfully accused Twitter bot.

In other words, a Russian professional troll gets exposed after fooling pretty much every reputable English-language media organisation and instead of backing down and retreating into a hole, they post a daring blog in which they rebut all the accusations with insufferable, shameless blabbing about reality, AI, the Turing test, and Matrix.

It's a strange world we live in.
