In 2018 I gave a talk in which I warned that the real danger of deep fakes is not merely that they will cause us to mistake falsehood for truth, but that their growing prevalence will someday make us so cynical that we will mistake truth for falsehood. npr.org/2024/08/14/nx-…

What if — instead of letting Biden ride off into the sunset — Kamala creates a new cabinet position and appoints him her “cancer czar?” Biden could still do his “cancer moonshot” and millions would benefit.

This is brilliant. The hardest part of getting someone to change their mind is that belief is wrapped up with identity. MAGA folks don't want to become Democrats. So this guy is creating a new identity, that gives them a softer place to land. Bravo. leavingmaga.org

Take a look at this brilliant piece by @STWorg Sander Van Der Linden, and Naomi Oreskes that defends the study of misinformation from those who claim it isn't real and/or dangerous to study chronicle.com/article/misinf…

Happy to report that both MSNBC and CNN are now correctly using the term "disinformation" and extensively reporting the threat it poses to tomorrow's election. When I appeared on MORNING JOE a year ago they weren't ready. Now they are. Hope it's enough! youtube.com/watch?v=sc-CDM…
