Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
“When does calling something misinformation protect people, and when does it just silence views that make someone uncomfortable?”
Trust ranks through the site stewards' curated lens.
I have another perspective on this, and I realize it may not be popular. One thing I’ve learned is that politicians—across the spectrum—often bend the truth. Both the left and the right are part of the same system, and each side has its own narratives.... The AI Safety case for UpTrust: AI "Facts" 40% from Reddit, 24% from YouTube, 20% from FB
I knew this to be true but nice to see the numbers: This good to remember when you get info from LLMs. But also, in a non-UpTrust world it gets worse: "User Generated Content" on these sites is becoming increasingly AI generated (our startup accelerator is literally teaching all... - chauncedog60...
Conversational Junk Food
It recently dawned on me, the need for a soapbox forum that aspires with the intention of accuracy of facts. Facebook started as a great place to keep in touch with long lost friends and family, to share pictures, and such. For a primary source of news that is true, not so much!... - stripey7...
I can't say that my sanity feels particularly challenged, but perhaps that's because from an early age I learned to understand that a different world is possible if only one commits to learning how to bring it about, and ever since I've been learning and practicing what I learn... - WWRS...

New Rules Aim to Shape What Britons See First Online
How Officials Want to Fight Misinformation by Boosting Selected Sources The UK government has released a new Green Paper that explores forcing social media platforms to give special priority to news from public service broadcasters such as the BBC, ITV and Channel 4.... I agree with most of this, but I won't give the Legacy Media that excuse... They don't have to send a film crew. They should have access to the very best investigative journalists the world has to offer. Send out a couple to look into these things.... - davn8r...
As a side note - this is one of the issues that I believe needs to be better solved for AI engines - the development of a true 'trust engine' if you will.... Ah yes, man's search for "Truth" has always been elusive. The comments can also impact your perspective wildly. You can have a first impression about a post and then go to the comments only to do a 360 based on whatever the most amount of people are saying....
