    AI is going to make misinformation a 100 times worse. There really needs to be laws with bot usage on social media and data privacy laws.

    You know how cheaters ruin online games? How their fun relies on fucking everyone, abusing the system and winning without respecting the rules? The same applies to people like her, trump, musk, etc. They’re “communication cheaters”, they don’t respect the rules, they abuse the system, yet platforms want us to believe that they deserve to be treated like common users.

    “Waah waah mah 🧊 🍑 waah waah censorship” - Fuck you. If free speech was a game, these people would be banned.

    This is something AI would be good for

    Have it search for specific misinformation and reply with a canned response with sources using an official account.

      dont need AI for this. its why we have systems like webs of trust and peer verification. standard crypto + some social communication solves a lot of these problems.

        In this case the misinformation AI will be run by Musk’s sugar daddy Putin so it won’t get banned

        Or someone could train a bot to exaggerate misinformation from known liars

        Community note: In fact, Oregon sent over 420 fire trucks but due to the rampage of the woke chupacabra and the cannibals of the northern California mountains, only 69 made it as far south as Sacramento. At that point California officials realized that Oregon actually sent minivans full of weed and spent the weekend hotboxing, using the Jewish space laser that started the fires on the “defrost” setting to heat up the marijuana.

    America does not care about truth. Worse, it actively discourages truth.

    Lying is accepted. Making up facts that suit your narrative and shouting down anyone who disagrees gets you rewarded with the highest position of state.

    We, the rest of the world, are just watching you guys in horror.

        Makes sense. The Internet was the peak of the information age and usually with any cultural push their is the counter culture equivalent. When any truth could be found in seconds we now find ourselves where any opinion can be fed enough backing to feel like a truth.

        My bad, you’re right. I tried to check first, but I didn’t have the patience to scroll past her claiming America Is So Back because “Starbucks kicked homeless people out of bathrooms,” so I ended up not seeing the reposted tweet.

        She lies, runs away from OSFM, gets community noted, and still, in the replies:

        Um, this is 100% TRUE and WOKE Oregon seems to be covering for WOKE California. Leftists stick together.

        There are many people whose work and ideas I deeply respect, but even in my weakest moments, I couldn’t possibly idolize them like this useless waste of oxygen does gargling on Trump’s ballsack every day.

        Because I’m a horrible person, I can foresee that there’s zero chance I’ll die before doing something monumentally stupid. My greatest shame is realizing it probably won’t be as effective as what Luigi did.

    Right wingers haven’t cared about the truth for decades. It’s just now they don’t don’t care whether we know it or not. Just think back to Trump’s first term and “alternate truths” and all that. They don’t care anymore. They believe what they want to believe, and no amount of facts or reasoning is going to change it.

    But yes, everyone lies. Some people just more than others and some will lie to your face with a smirk on their face knowing damn well you know they’re lying.

        I swear half of the right wing pundits on YouTube are just doing it for the ad revenue. They see that people are mad about right wing crazies so they act like they are right wing so they can clicks

        Sometimes you can see their mask slip.

    This is not “false” this is just “pants on fire lying”

    This person should not have the freedom to speak publicly anymore

    Screw freedom of expression as we currently have it. Freedom of expression should become a right with responsibility. if you can’t be responsible, you can’t have the right. You either speak the truth or don’t get to speak to groups, period

    I’m SO done with literally everyone and everything lying with zero repercussions. Companies lie, all fine. Politicians lie like there is no tomorrow and that’s fiiiiine, even Obama lied like 25% and that’s fiiiiine, trump literally lies 99% of the time and it’s all fine! Nothing happens, so we just lie more and more and you can’t trust anything or anyone anymore

    Freedom of expression on the internet was a big mistake

      It’s not freedom of expression that’s the issue here; it’s the devaluation of responsible public influence such as (but not limited to) quality journalism. Lots of news agencies that used to be reputable are either going out of business or getting bought out by shady people. Hicks (I should know) have always been able to stand at the edge of their property yelling bullshit. The problem is people started listening and putting them up in the town square to yell bullshit (sometimes they even get paid!).

        Indeed.

        If every time the press quoted somebody they gave right alongside it a count of past occasions when they were caught lying, there would a lot less lying because people would be reading their quote, looking at the count of lies next to it and mentally going “bullshit!” for the big liars.

        The excess lying going around is because the liars take advantage of people being physically unable of keeping track of the liar-levels and lies they’ve been caught on of all the “media personalities” (humans are only capable of managing at best around 200 relationships with other entities, so not just family and friends but also personalities one has an opinion about and even brands).

        Part of the reason the Press won’t do that is because so many of them are also liars (in the sense that they’re actual vehicles for Propaganda rather than having Journalistic integrity) but also in many countries legislation such as Anti-slander Legislation means that if they point people’s lies out they can get sued, which is costly even if they win, whilst if they say only good things they get no legal costs, so the whole field is tilted towards painting well know personalities wi the the means or influence to sue news media in a positive light - in other words, the system is designed to protect well connect or rich liars and conmen from being exposed in the most widely circulated media.

        My point was not that X would be able to do something about this, but that it is not a source of breaking news, and fundamentally not a replacement for journalism…and should not be used as such.

          Ya, it’s definitely shouldn’t be a source. I think it would be great if all sites had something like this though. Retractions on reputable news sites also go by unnoticed.

          Imagine going to the BBC website and it showing you that with 2-3 articles on rare occasion.
