Objection founder @aronpingdsouza is building "the AI tribunal for investigating the media" with the backing of Peter Thiel and @balajis. He explains how it works: "The fundamental problem with news media today is that false information spreads six times faster than true information. And so the incentives for generating clickbait content are very pronounced, and we've known this for a very long period of time." "And so by compressing the legal process, which often takes 10 or 20 years, and costs tens of millions of dollars — as we learned in the Hulk Hogan lawsuit — down to a couple of days, we can adjudicate factual disputes much, much quicker and much cheaper. The whole process can cost as little as $2,000 and can be done in as little as 24 hours." "If the New York Times writes something inaccurate about you guys, you can file an objection. Then human investigators will investigate the story line-by-line, source-by-source. They'll call everyone quoted in the article." "And then they'll present that information to an AI jury. And the original author, of course, has the opportunity to respond and say, 'My reporting was good. It was high quality.'" "But we live in the era of data, and I think it would be wonderful if every story published by the NYT included the long-form recordings of each interview." "I've done thousands of media interviews. Journalists always record them, but they never publish them in full." "So being misquoted or [relying on] anonymous sources, these are the tools that in particular print journalists use that have [caused] a massive degradation in trust."
