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.
Any one who believes it should heed her advice and get out.
Why would known diarrhea fetishist Mila Joy say blatant lies on the internet?
It’s an tragic fact that correcting a lie is hugely more costly than making and spreading the lie.
But not quite as tragic as me using the wrong article in a sentence this profound.
That basically sums up all of far right talking points
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).
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.
How can a web of trust prevent Joe-bob from claiming bullshit like in the OP?
Have you seen some of the “factual” information AI states definitively?
Or someone can just train an AI to spit out more misinformation.
Then it’s going to be AI vs AI
In this case the misinformation AI will be run by Musk’s sugar daddy Putin so it won’t get banned
Dead Internet Theory and so.
And so, the bot wars started
We’re years in at this point.
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.
I can’t believe Biden and Obama started these fires. With their energy weapons. And now they aren’t doing anything to put them out. Trump would have had the fires out before they started. The dems aren’t even using aircraft or people….those videos on the news are fake AI.
-Some MAGA probably
It’s not like there’s a state border check for vehicle emissions. You can visit California in a non-California car without an emissions check. Joy’s claim doesn’t make sense even before fact checking.
Welcome to modern society where facts don’t matter and all feelings are made up.
Made up feelings are facts now
But dumbasses will eat that shit up
It makes sense to people who have never left their hometown, like most of her audience.
There is a border check entering CA but they only ask about fruits and vegetables.
Wow it’s true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Border_Protection_Stations
I don’t think any other US state has checkpoints. This is a surprise to me.
Kentucky has them sometimes for horse papers
I choose to hold two images of this in my head and they’re both equally real, reality be damned.
They’re looking for horse rolling papers and they’re going to the trailer and asking each horse to show their papers as the driver is told to stand back and let them work.
They’ve been a thing as long as I can remember
There are. Especially for commercial vehicles:
A lot of states have checkpoints for vehicles towing boats. Need to check for invasive water creatures.
Imagine my surprise learning about them by pulling up to one. I don’t think it was even near the CA/OR, but like 50 miles into Cali on the interstate. All of a sudden I see an officer flagging me at a little booth, I figured it was an emergency ahead or maybe I ended up on a toll road? The first thing he says to me was something along the lines of ‘Got any fruit or vegetables in the vehicle?’ And I just respond ‘I’m sorry, what?’ He must get that a lot, he pretty much waved me through as he was explaining.
I brought a prepackaged fruit cup my next trip just to see what would happen but I ended up doing the coastal route and never got stopped going that way.
California grows like 40% of the vegetables for the entire country. So they’re very protective of their agriculture.
Florida has a checkpoint for plants and possible invasive species, definitely not for firetrucks helping people though.
Sounds like it’s basically the same as CA then.
It’s the only other one. But Florida only has commercial vehicles pull in
Bugs trying to get in to Florida?
Florida has one of the best competitive scenes in the western hemisphere.
And that’s rarely enforced, at least around here.
Unlike California, Florida’s agriculture checkpoint only stops commercial vehicles.
It’s meant to sow discord, not be fact checked or taken seriously by critically-minded people. It’s meant to rile up the MAGA’s.
Fascist agitprop
Too late. It’s already become true, and another example of wokeness for your racist uncle to bang on about.
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.
Fucking Californian wokies! They made fire gay!
They don’t call it flaming for nothing!
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.
You got a work address? I can bring my own baseball bat.
I know you’re joking, but let’s not do that.
That’s fair. Not everyone is good at Little League, after all. 😉
True true
Being a Republican allows you to be a smug.Asshole and call it politics
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.
deregulation made the fire as bad as it is
The California water system is a dense web of legal contracts between public and private interests. Bad policy made the fires worse, as the central valley was transformed from an ecological paradise into a dried up scrubland. But the idea that California ever really had regulations to prevent these wildfires is naive.
one of the things deregulated in the LA area was the building of homes in high fire risk areas
Fires are running straight up to the Malibu coastline. High risk areas have been expanding with the repetitive droughts and the large agricultural developments of cash crops. You’ve got buildings going up in flames that were perfectly safe to live in 20 or 30 years ago.
Nothing the California state government had done up to this point was preventing the degradation of the local ecology. They’re just at the end of their rope.
Not of the ecology. Deregulation of building codes.
You’ve got buildings on fire that have been standing for half a century. The high winds and brush fires aren’t a result of the building codes. They’re the result of perennial drought and the accumulation of flammable materials in the dust-bowls surrounding LA County.
These articles are where I am basing my opinion from. Note that in the 2nd one, the fires originated in and are either in or on the border of state-designated high risk fire zones.
Should be Shitter’s responsibility to fact check them but nope gotta make the folks in harm’s way handle it themselves apparently.
Bot? How do we know that isn’t just another of Elon’s alts?
I suppose somebody could check if she’s called him a good father recently…
how do we even come back from this
The French had a similar issue in the tail end of the 1700’s, perhaps we could draw inspiration from their work.
I plan to move somewhere where this isnt a problem. If Im going to live in a capitalist society Im going to exercise my free market choice to choose somewhere better than the McDonalds being run by geriatric conspiracy theorists
This eventually gets CIA’d. There is no escape but slaying the dragon.
At the risk of being called an accelerationist, the fact of the matter is that the only way out is through.
I just assume things cannot be controlled, there is no direction, and the majority of the human race will be swimming in lies, disinformation and cat memes fur generations
The s is hopeful.
A generation maybe.
I’ll have the cat memes thank you
Fur real? I think you’re purrbably right.
I, for one, welcome our fur baby overlords.
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.
since they repealed the Fairness Doctrine (not that it was perfect) in the late 80s when they realized that balanced reporting was one of the things that forced Nixon’s resignation
Why the fuck you lying? Stop fucking lying. Why you always lying?
Money, grifting is the way the right makes lots of money.
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.
Andrew Tate, that Pearl lady. Both have accidentally smiled in interviews at times that signal they are trolling
Yes. It’s always about doing what makes money cause money will make you righteous in the end anyways. You can purchase your way to heaven as long as you are ok with it being sponsored by your corporation of choice.
