Propaganda usually isn’t false, at least not false in a nonpartisan-verifiable way. It’s more about what facts you choose to emphasize and how you present them. So yeah, each ideology/faction will be training “anti-propaganda AIs” that will filter out the propaganda and the “propaganda” produced by other ideologies/factions.
In my vignette so far, nothing interesting has happened to GDP growth yet.
I think stereotypes can develop quickly. I’m not saying it’s super widespread and culturally significant, just that it blunts the hype a bit. But you might be right, maybe these things take more time.
Re splitting the internet into different territories: Currently, the internet is split into two territories: One controlled by the CCP and one (loosely) controlled by western tech companies, or by no one, depending on who you ask. Within the second one, there is already a sort of “alternate universe” of right-wing news media, social networks, etc. beginning to develop. I think what I’m proposing is very much a continuation of trends already happening. You are right that maybe five years is not enough time for e.g. the “christian coalition” bubble/stack to be built. But it’s enough time for it to get started, at least.
But yeah, I think it’s probably too bold to predict a complete right-wing stack by 2024 or so. Probably most of the Western Right will still be using facebook etc. I should think more about this.
Misinformation is false, but not created or shared with the intention of causing harm.
Disinformation is deliberately created to mislead, harm, or manipulate a person, social group, organization, or country.
Malinformation is based on fact, but used out of context to mislead, harm, or manipulate.
(got this example from Zvi’s covid post today)
Also, the recent events with GoFundMe and GiveSendGo is an instance of the trend I predicted with separate tech stacks being developed. (GoFundMe froze and/or confiscated funds donated to the canadian trucker’s protest, so people switched to using GiveSendGo, which is apparently built and run by Christians)
This trend is definitely continuing today with things like Truth Social and already people are talking about how ChatGPT is “woke AI” and there “needs to be a right-wing ChatGPT!”
Thanks for the critique!
