Until the whole world wakes up to the fact that social media mainly exists to harvest data about the people silly enough to indulge in it.

Since China has a remarkably intrustive and authoritarian government, the main group doing the harvesting there is the Chinese government.

Elon has been ordered to kill Twitter and he is just doing his job to the final end.

Elon Musk isn\'t exactly famous for doing what he is told. He\'s got some silly idea all of his own, and he is running with it.

What comes next is Mark ordered to kill Facebook and so on, and so on.

Mark Zuckerberg isn\'t all that likely to do what he is told either.

not to let people to speak freely.

The problem with Facebook and Twitter, and here is that people do speak freely and people that choose to post total nonsense - as you do - don\'t suffer any kind of consequential damage.

We do need to work out a way of making it expensive to mislead other people, and a way rewarding people for setting them straight.

And you\'d be one of the people earning brownie points by \"setting them straight\" eh, Bill? :-D

Obviously I\'d like it if I made money out of it, but the trick would be to set up a system that even clowns like would have to accept as reasonable.

I also fancy myself as a \'straight-setter\' but we can\'t both be right and neither of us believes a word the other one says to support his
view, so who gets to decide which of us gets the coveted job? You clearly haven\'t thought this through (as usual).

You carefully snipped the last paragraph of my post which did present some rudimentary thoughts on the subject. That\'s not the action of a \"straight-setter\" - your habit of bending the facts to fit the conclusion you want does seem to be deeply ingrained.

\"Academic peer review won\'t hack it. If we could set up an artificial intelligence fact checker, we might be able to get somewhere, but ChatGP depends on a large language model and famously can\'t sort truth from nonsense, because the billions of lines of posted text it turns into it\'s output does include a lot of nonsense (a lot of it published by the Murdoch media, but some of it from the Chinese Communist Party too). \"

Since I had at least gotten started on \"thinking it through\" and you\'ve just lied about that, the artificial intelligence machine might just work on the level of dishonesty in the relevant posts. You\'d lose, big-time. So would a a.

Sorry, Bill, but AI won\'t cut it. There was a story on the news only a
few days ago where Chat GTP erroneously identified the Declaration of
Independence as being a creation of AI.
No, by far the best way is to stop censoring opposing views. Have the
parties present their respective cases to the public and let the
public decide which case has the most merit. That\'s by far the safest
way.

There\'s nothing safe about giving everybody equal access to the population as a whole. The word \"demagoguery\"exists to describe the problem that creates. The UK Brexit fiasco was a direct consequence of allowing people like Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson to lie to the British public. We need fact checking, and your output is a perfect example of how badly we need it.

How we get it is an open question. Science has a scheme that sort of works, but not all that many people get scientific training, and some - like John Larkin - can get through it with their gullibility completely intact.

Nobody is yet using artificial intelligence to peer review scientific papers. Anybody who has done it know that there aren\'t enough referees, so it must be a target market.
Tricky as that is, it\'s trivial compared with doing the same thing for real world reports.

That was a pretty expensive order at $44B.
