Semafor is a very shady website…

https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/5/24062229/semafor-signals-miso-ai-microsoft

The “journalists” that work there just use AI to summarize other articles and “curate” what they want people to see.

A cynic would say this period is when they’re trying to build up trust and gain users, like Uber operating at a loss until it drove taxis out of business then raising prices.

Once people start using it, that “ai curation” could be used to edit their blog posts in a way to get people to agree with what they want. Like, two different people go to the same website, and see bespoke headlines engineered to get various users to reach the same desired outcome.

People worry about all type of AI stuff but this is what’s actual dangerous.

A tailor made propaganda website.

It’s not a news organization, it’s an algorithm. They don’t create anything of value on their own, they don’t write anything on their own

They just rephrase things in a way to trick people into agreeing with the wealthy

The bill is a state level thing, that would just assign all electoral votes to the winner of the state rather than by district.

Maine will have no choice but to do the same…

The majorities in both houses are solid and the Governor should easily come aboard

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
