What we’ve launched today is the first step for how we’re going to evolve verification.
The initial set of trusted verifiers includes news orgs who’ve agreed to take on the task of verification for their journalists. In the future, this set will expand, as well as how apps can choose to use them.

It’s pretty easy to imagine the trends we’ve seen from smartphones (alienation, anxiety, reduced reading comprehension and persistence) compounded dramatically by LLMs.

If Elon was *that* competent in fighting fraud, he'd stop it on his own app first. But he's not, and he cannot.

People talk about “falling down a Wikipedia rabbit hole,” but my young friends: as incredible as it is to believe, before search engines became the de facto standard, this was how the *entire internet* worked.

What's an opinion you have that would make a bunch of people angry?
Write it down in a notebook called, "Why would I want to make a bunch of people angry right now?" and then close that notebook and have some tea.

The brightest minds in human history worked hard to come up with the idea of vaccination, developed it for specific viruses, organized its implementation, succeeded in all this; and some flat earther decides that all this is a conspiracy to plant a chip in him...

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything".
Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something.
They just don't care about YOU.

Mental exercise:
Can anyone tell a definitive difference between a single Communist Party rule and a hypothetical Capitalist company ruling a whole country on its own?
I honestly can't find any.
In the end, the "people" would be paid employees of the Party/Company in both cases.

Y'all replace knowledge with literacy so much that you make people try to prove their method of acquiring knowledge as "reading". Which is completely unnecessary.
Knowledge is knowledge. Literacy is but a method to get it.

::Sigh:: Once more for the people in the back. If audiobooks don’t count as reading, then braille isn’t reading either. Stop gatekeeping literacy.
