Meta's embrace of Community Notes over professional fact-checkers means people are going to see more nonsense. What a waste of everyone's time and attention www.platformer.news/meta-communi...
Still, it seems likely that people will now see more nonsense that they did before. If all goes well, it will come appended with a note informing you that you’re looking at nonsense. Meta has expressed confidence that this approach will build trust in its systems. Even if it does so, though, it will come at the expense of wasting huge amounts of its users’ time and attention. An earlier generation of leaders at Meta argued, among other things, that filling up feeds with obvious falsehoods made for a bad user experience. But those leaders are gone, and in the place of third-party fact checks you can now find Shrimp Jesus and other AI slop.

Scott, it's time to rally your wealthy peers. We're here, standing up for ourselves and our democracy. Where are the liberal, rules-loving rich?

SpaceX rocket explodes, causing some flight delays.

Elmo shits in our skies and nothing stops him.

It is a total waste of tax dollars, shut it down.

Include the celebrity's name and a brief description of their status and type in the alt text, so we don’t have to look it up.

A reminder to please always add alt text to images as a service to users like me who can’t recognise any celebrity who became famous in the last ten years
