Hear me out: this is actually potentially interesting if they can find a way to avoid floods of spam. It could address some big issues w/ Community Notes — language neutrality issues preventing “clearing,” bandwidth to write notes, ideologue topic issues, etc [www.theverge.com/news/696210/...]( ) [X opens up to Community Notes ...]( )
Oh hey are “digital propaganda” and “calculated smear campaigns” by state actors using hacked materials to “distract, discredit, and divide” a real thing? What’s another name for those kinds of campaigns, guys? 🪿 https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiedshogjokhiguzwjlybopvsxu7s2pfrievtlq7fydtlfs462qauu

Whoa the Idaho “Moscow Murders” suspect - Brian Kohberger - looks to have pled guilty. This case is truly awful, and the story just got got worse as the evidence emerged leading up trial. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreifpw2zc5e2zayvcfbara73detdpfnvb7ne72jxdbttayrpsav62ge
SCOTUS won’t hear RFK Jr and CHD’s case because there was no “”collusion”” and moderation isn’t censorship. The 1A gives platforms the right to moderate. This just isn’t that difficult, even if liars & bullshit artists want to pretend it is. Another loss for people who smeared my team & our work. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiejh6zey2ajxvanjfr47zyyxcpv62p7yasdqf6iyemivg5d3djpj4
I went on Rogan in 2019 to talk ab Russian interference. Joe invited me on to discuss it, knowing his audience would hate me. Interference wasn’t part of “Russiagate” then — hacking, social media trolls were acknowledged. Impact was debated,but that’s it. Now there’s been a full retcon by the right. RE:
Some new background work out examining an important topic - national digital ID - that is going to become increasingly salient as agentic & generative AI transform fraud and abuse in new and novel ways. (And beyond fraud, as agentic AI leads to agents credentialed to act in new and novel ways) RE:
Today I planted a fig tree, weeded the garden, made pickles with cucumbers and dill that we grew, then made homemade cherry pie filling because “the cherries got wrinkly, mom”.

🌱 incredible story over on Plant Reddit in which a person appears to have been eating pepper leaves thinking it was basil and now has convinced himself his basil has a tumor rather than coming to terms with eating pepper leaves the whole time.

I wrote this a year ago when Stanford told Jim Jordan we wouldn’t study the 2024 election, & I wasn’t being renewed. Jordan took a victory lap: House Weaponization had exercised “robust oversight” over Stanford. It wasn’t Jordan’s place to dictate research agenda.
