And we think it's because as a society, we need to kind of elevate this ability to do reasoning.

Yeah, so I guess I can give a couple of examples and then talk about the... We've kind of mapped the space a little bit more generally, and we've got some initiatives that we're trying to get started, and we've got some that we're already supporting.

So a great example of something already existing here.

Have you heard of community notes?

I can give a kind of rough explanation, but you can think of things like fact checking and adding context.

Historically, they've been performed in this kind of centralized or roughly centralized fashion.

You've got these media broadcasters, they're relatively few, they're relatively long lived, and they therefore have this kind of reputation and identity.

They're sort of trackable by states and so on, and there are some rules they have to follow.

Maybe they publish retractions, maybe there are certain kinds of standards they have to follow with regards to their evidence and so on.

So this kind of centralized fact checking happened.

And then, of course, social media kind of blew open that.

Now everyone is a publisher.

And so we're in a slightly different world.

And for a while, people tried to apply the same kind of centralized fact checking mindset.

And this wasn't really scalable in practice.

Now, Community Notes is one of some kind of innovations in that space.

The first principle is, can we crowdsource fact checking?

And it's not just fact checking.

It's adding useful context to things that people might find useful in the context of some kind of social media post.

The way Community Notes achieves its kind of trust, because of course, this fact checking is quite a sort of powerful and important duty in a way, or like providing context is really important.
