Jay Baxter and Keith Coleman, who helped build the crowdsourced system adding context to misleading posts, discuss how the program reduces viral misinformation — and why people across the political spectrum…

This is the first time I’ve liked a TED talk in 5 years. These guys and Elon Musk single handedly restored free speech online.

We are very lucky. Sadly (and obviously) there is a huge effort to supress this

Thank you! I really enjoyed this and it was my first time understanding the mechanisms behind community notes on twitter (X). While I have wrestled with my internal conflicting thoughts on the CEO (Elon Musk), I have to say this really gives me hope at a bright future that includes the world of social media and AI we created. Hope for our representative democracies and mental health for future generations. Thank you again for curating this and bringing it to us, with visuals! 🙂

First time I’ve seen a false dichotomy argument promoted on TED. Sad day indeed.

The community notes on X are incredible. You know it’s great when even the owner gets community noted, so there is no bias

“Show me the incentives, and I’ll show you the outcome”
Cut the incentives to people pushing misinformation and disinformation, reduce engagement with clickbait and rage bait, and delete the algorithms designed for engagement (or enragement) instead of truth and accuracy.
Keep your notes, but that’s not a solution to the use of social media as a tool to peddle lies.

This should be more aggressive like cookies. put large ugly label over it “This content is disputed and maybe incorrect”
and if user tries to access it – ask “Are you stupidly sure?”
@TheRixxx

except the yes button just says “are YOU stupidly sure?!?!” because they’re too stubborn to admit they’re stupidly sure and more likely would respond with a “what about YOU” instead of admitting fallibility.

is there a community notes analogy for all aspects of life that will help serve as natural regulation across many platforms and markets? because I’m specifically thinking about the medical market that incorrectly “solves” for many afflictions through the industry standard and the same standard keeps getting peddled over and over despite it’s failures.
Specifically, physical therapy always focuses only on the specific pain location and never sees the body as a system and even if they do see cross system weakness and try to strengthen, they never notice that the weakness is actually caused by an asymmetry. So, they end up applying bilateral exercise that only reinforces an imbalanced system which, actually needs asymmetrical exercise in an area that might be completely different than the spot causing the actual pain. The industry standard fails patients or instead only helps them to compensate until the inevitable surgical intervention rather than balancing the body as a system. The industry standard and practitioners practicing it fail people again and again and yet everyone thinks because it is normal that this is acceptable

Hey look! We’ve got this incredibly toxic, myth-filled, right-wing hate machine, but occasionally we let people add some truth.
