like the details of what it has been like to live in twenty twenty four following AI.
Like dead right in so many ways.
So that both is a very impressive piece of intellectual labor.
And to me it also
makes it so that when I talk to Daniel about forecasting AI doom scenarios and AI catastrophic risk scenarios, I cannot easily discount this because this is a man with some pretty serious predictive chops.
So it's definitely been like a good corrective just for me personally in my own epistemics.
I think that the the the fact that we haven't seen as much propaganda as as you might think or like manipulated media.
makes me think that and and this has been my intuition for a while on this stuff that the information reb environment is more robust than people understand.
And I don't want to say people have a better immune system than we might think 'cause it's not exactly that, but it's like people can sniff out stuff that is fake.
for reasons that don't necessarily relate to the quality of the media.
Like the ability to produce an image that that looks very real.
A, people can sniff out AI generated images pretty easily, I I think.
The other thing is this is my world, right?
Like my friends can do that, but my friends are in the AI world.
Yeah, I don't know about people that are not plugged into this stuff.
Pro probably they can't as easily.
But
The sources of information do actually continue to matter somewhat in the social media era.
Maybe the New York Times doesn't have a monopoly on the truth anymore, but that doesn't mean that literally any person can go out and tweet a picture of Joe Biden doing something outrageous and people will just believe it because it's on the internet.
It is, in fact, a little bit more complicated than that.
