“Meta abandons fact checking” and “Meta deploys fake AI-generated accounts to boost human engagement” were announced a countable number of hours apart, but for some reason people don’t think they’re the same story.
@mhoye Yep. I've always said that ad-funded social media is just the local TV news teasing "is your shampoo secretly killing you? Film at 11" magnified so that the little cliffhangers show up millions of times every day in hopes that it'll wear you down enough to pay attention to an ad.
