This audience is the perfect audience for Doctorow, one which picks up on and responds to his every little wink ... and his way of doing a panel discussion involves a lot of winking.

This On the Media episode from earlier this month examines AI’s infrastructural and epistemic risks. It explores how data centers strain energy systems, how deepfakes destabilize trust, and how “AI slop” reshapes information ecosystems. Situates AI within political and cultural contexts. #AI #DeepFakes #DataCenters #TechPolicy #OnTheMedia #ArtificialIntelligence #slop https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/deep-fakes-data-centers-and-ai-slop--are-we-cooked

@timbray #OnTheMedia's classic 2006 episode, "Prime Number", addresses this point beautifully, mostly related to news and media, though #Wikipedia and #Wikipedians should take note.

OTM cites #CarlBialik, then writing for the WSJ (he's since worked at FiveThirtyEight and is now at Yelp ... per Wikipedia):

An interesting phenomenon of these numbers is that they'll often be cited to an agency or some government body, and then a study will pick it up, and then the press will repeat it from that study. And then once it appears in the press, public officials will repeat it again, and now it's become an official number.

Prime Number | On the Media | WNYC

Numbers justify fear. 50,000 abducted children, for example, or 50,000 predators prowling for children online. That last figure appeared in a recent introduction for NBC’s “Dateline.” And last week, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales cited Dateline’s number. But where did it come from? So far as statistics go, it turns out that 50,000 is something of a Goldilocks number in the media – not too big and not too small, but for scaring the public - just right.

#OnTheMedia ‘s Mid-week podcast had a great set of stories about how Doge is not Dead. The oligarch’s media in the #US #USPol want you to believe it is, so they are spinning tons of stories about how Doge is Dead. The real story is they have worked their way into positions in a lot of government agencies, so they can destroy it from the inside, while monetizing your information.
