    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.

      Doesn’t help that a significant number of modern media and platforms is optimized for content lengths that allow one but not the other (headlines, sound bites, micro-blogging, short-form videos).

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

        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.

            Voters who (to add to your point), don’t represent half the country, because 90 million out of 240 million voters didn’t vote at all. I think the number of non-voters went up a bit but not too far away from the average pres. election

            I’m saying if at least half the population was horrified they’d have voted. The people that didn’t vote are apathetic. You can’t subtract people who voted for him from total and group them as against him

        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.

      This is exactly why so many things just feel hopeless to me. The worst people have caught on to, and the parrots don’t even realize, that you can just say literally anything and the occupants of your echo chamber will believe it immediately and then refuse to believe whatever reality actually is if it is presented to them by literally any other “outsider.”

      Hell even someone of the “in-group” who is not substantial enough will be outed as an “other” if they dare go against the initial message.

        The knock-on effects of this also concern me. Largely, the only effective way I’ve seen to battle disinformation is to retreat to smaller spaces. The intensity and engagement driven content loop on all the major platforms just fuels the fire. Ultimately, to achieve a better admin:user ratio where the admins aren’t idiots. While I wax nostalgic about my former BBS days, it feels like a giant step backwards to that. The quality on content is there and signal:noise ratio is sublime, but the amount of information, level of discourse, and widespread geographic socialization, isn’t.

          Since the election, I’ve retreated from most news sources and reddit. I kind of realized that more or less every headline was either a lie, clickbait, or blowing up a story that largely doesn’t matter. I honestly haven’t felt more relaxed in years.

    You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.

    Driving Californians (particularly the wealthy and well-connected Malibu celebrity class) insane with rage and paranoia, then pointing them at the milquetoast liberal stand-ins for Far-Left Radicalism, will do to California what it did to New York, Texas, and Florida.

    Just a matter of time before the right-wing propaganda machine crushes the brains of the enfranchised class. I’m already hearing my mother-in-law blame the stupid Los Angelinos for raising her own home insurance rates. And more than a few coworkers are smugly insisting this is what a DEI fire department gets you.

        Its not the Republican-ism that comes first. You have to sell people on the “I’m exceptional” mentality first, then insist they’re being exploited by their inferiors. Malibu celebrities are a target rich environment for this kind of delusional elitism.

        Expect a lot more Californians going on Joe Rogan and making up tall tales about how the fire was caused by poors and illegals stealing all the good firefighting water, while the state refused help for some arcane bureaucratic reasons related to The Fairness Doctrine.

          Nevermind that there is a legitimate argument that deregulation made the fire as bad as it is.

          Because one of the things deregulated in the LA area was the building of homes in high fire risk areas. like the ones currently on fire.
