    AI is making bullshit happen faster and it has an air of “trustworthiness” to it despite the fact that it’s bullshitting it’s answers like the smart kid in class who doesn’t bother to do homework.

    Yellow journalism has been around since the Spanish American war but it’s never been this strong and flooding the information market with garbage that seems legit. It’s so efficient.

    I disagree with ‘filtering’ content before it’s seen, unless there’s a way to filter out bots and ai junk. Otherwise it’s just a silencing of speech and depending on who controls the filter controls the speech. Imagine Elon musk or RFK Jr controlling what gets seen… arguably musk already does with shitter.

      We’re in agreement on filtering no worries. Im well aware of what arbitrary moderation can do to a community.

      Filtering is a concept not a particular implementation. You can do it by preventing centralized distribution centers like Twitter and force people to retweet for their followers for it to spread.

      Or through personalized reputation channels people subscribe to. Which is basically the same thing.

      Tons of options.
