Linus GasserFinland is combatting Fake News at its destination. It teaches media literacy in schools, starting from the age of three, on through the whole curriculum of the students. This approach is paying off, with the country ranking at the top of the European Media Literacy Index. Meanwhile, here in Switzerland, students are mostly left to figure out for themselves what is real and what is fake.
As the speed that articles can be generated has increased with the rise of LLMs, Wikipedia just increased the speed it can delete them. If an article has obvious signs of having been created by an LLM, it can be deleted quickly with only two approvals. I think this is a good way of making sure that the articles on Wikipedia are high quality: remove the slop (bad quality text) as fast as possible.

I like this insight into how a cybersecurity company works to defend against adversaries trying to infiltrate them. According to this article, one of the most important attack vector is job applicants who want to infiltrate the company. Which of course makes sense, now that other attacks become more difficult, going back to the good old spy game is again easier! I also like the fact that they team up internally to counter these attacks.
