remixtures, Portuguese #FakeNews #Fakes #Misinformation #Myths #Bots #Deepfakes: "You say that the Internet flooded the intellectual commons “with agendas that were not constrained by a conventional understanding of reality.” Has there ever been “a conventional understanding of reality” that was rock-solid, objective truth?
Scheirer: I think what I was trying to say in that passage is that there’s this thinking, especially in communities obsessed with rational thinking, like scientists and businesspeople: They believe that there is something at least resembling an objective truth. And that’s usually a narrative that is conforming to whatever they’re trying to do. But the Internet presents you with so many different alternatives. It overturns that quite quickly. Does that make sense? If you go down to, say, Wall Street, you’ll have a bunch of serious people who will tell you “The markets work this way.” You know, that’s the way it is. Of course, there’s more to life than just those markets.
Yeah. They will give you their word that ‘This is how the game goes.’ Yet, when 2008 happens, they’ll wring their hands and say nothing’s guaranteed.
Scheirer: Exactly. But that goes back to this vision of the Internet as being an information superhighway, where there’s just this one set of facts that’ll exist in this database, and the world will be able to access it, and that’s the way it is. And of course, that’s not actually the way it is."

gimulnautti, Sorry to go against the current here, but on a fundamental level Elon isnt wrong about #bots
Douchebag no1 is just a bit simple in assuming money is an efficient form of human-verification, and thinking that people won’t turn it against him (Or maybe that’s what he needs for his crew to love him 🤷♂️)
We’re going to need working human-verification systems. #fediverse might be one of them for now, but even here we might sink in artificially intelligent flood eventually

br00t4c, Intelligence Report Says Bots and Fake Accounts Linked to India's Governing Party are Harassing Canadians
ErikJonker, Impressive overview of bots crawling the web, collecting content. For most we do not know exactly what they are used for which illustrates for me the futility of blocking OpenAI access to your website. If you don't want to be crawled or used as training data for AI, don't publish on the publicly available internet I would think.

stefan, Is the application name not federated in the status API? Is there another way to know if an instance is mastodon or pixelfed or something else?
