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.

Some badass early Pulitzer contenders out of Turkey
Alt for four images:

	1.	A person in a black robe and a tall brown felt hat stands facing a line of riot police holding shields labeled “Polis.” The person is being sprayed with pepper spray, and the air is filled with mist and debris. The person wears a gas mask and stands with a composed posture amid the chaos.
	2.	The same person in black robes and a tall brown felt hat stands calmly with arms folded while being sprayed with pepper spray by riot police. The individual wears a gas mask and stands on a wet street littered with water bottles. A line of police in helmets and shields labeled “Polis” stands in the background.
	3.	A person wearing a black robe, gas mask, and tall brown felt hat stands with arms outstretched in front of a row of riot police. The police hold transparent shields marked “Polis” and “Çevik Kuvvet.” Smoke fills the air, and the scene is illuminated by strong overhead lights.
	4.	A similar scene shows the same person in a dramatic pose with arms wide open and head tilted back, wearing the same attire. Smoke surrounds the area, and the line of riot police with shields labeled “Polis” and “Çevik Kuvvet” remains in the background. Debris is scattered on the ground.Alt for four images:

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... ... while praising Neuralink.

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.

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth. Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like. People underestimate the Pacific.

A few important fact to remember: S. Korea lived under some form of military dictatorship from 1965-1988! Brazil lived under a military dictatorship from 1964-1985! Democracy is not an abstraction to these folk, it's a vulnerable thing that they want to protect.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

It's been interesting to witness in real-time how the usage of "algorithm" in many places has shifted from a neutral "sequence of instructions" to a negative "controlled ordering and boosting of information".
