〝One significant shortcoming of generative methods, however, is that the model tries to fill-in every bit of missing information, even though the world is inherently unpredictable. As a result, generative methods may be prone to mistakes a person would never make because they focus too much on irrelevant details instead of capturing high-level predictable concepts.〞

〝In contrast to a Dislike count, the Misleading count provides normative information on the accuracy of the message. […] Using normative cues seems to be more effective in polarized contexts (e.g. US voters compared with UK voters) and for posts on polarizing issues (e.g. immigration) compared with non-polarizing issues (e.g. infrastructure).〞

🇬🇧🧑💻⛽️🔥 Close to the anniversary of the Southport misinformation spread and riots episode, I wrote about attempts made over the past year, by people in the same ecosystem, to gaslight and conspiracise a "vindication vibe" out of their utter humiliation, and the need for an "information battle station".

🧌🧑💻🇮🇪🔥 The European xenophobic grift X account I exposed as having been farmed+flipped was caught attempting to repeat an information void exploitation tactic to stoke anti-immigrant/-Muslim aggression in Ireland.
