Community Notes

Broadcasting from Colorado, he says he sometimes has to call out Elon Musk, noting X is now his largest platform with about a million followers.

Musk wants to remove or change Community Notes because he dislikes what they say, explaining the swarm curation idea Zuckerberg also discussed.

Swarm curation converges to truth only if the swarm avoids garbage in garbage out, depending on incentives, quality, and diversity of the participants.

Cites Alex Pentland's book Social Physics and says Sybil resistance is key, so removing Community Notes over inconvenient fact checking is a political move.

X still lacks fundamental building blocks he recommended years ago, like DIDs plus KYC as the identity basis to guarantee the bots are killed.

Praises Grok 3 as a technological marvel comparable to Claude and OpenAI, built in a year, and says it should be tuned with a critical thinking module.

The AI should analyze argumentation, checking whether a claim is inductive or deductive and flagging known fallacies via query templates.

The key question is what would have to be true for this to be true, since a wild conspiracy requires many unlikely events, and the AI view is concatenated with swarm intelligence to form the note.

Says the self improving system could pair Facebook's Llama 4 with Grok 3, and adds an economic layer via prediction markets, recalling Polymarket correctly calling Trump over Harris.

Uses the Libra scandal and unconfirmed X reports of Hayden Davis's death to show a bounty market for truthiness could reward those directly connected to a fact.

The economic, AI, and crowdsource angles together form an accurate view, and the more controversial the claim the stronger the incentives to resolve it.

Veracity bonds so a claim proven false loses money, making people weigh what is at stake beyond reputation before they speak.

Cites a man in China who burned 1.3 million dollars of ether to publish a claim about brain computer interface mind control, serious skin in the game though not proof.

Combining a marketplace for truth, a deep thinking machine, a swarm intelligence, and skin in the game creates a perfect truth engine, and Musk does things he likes and dislikes.

Musk is not a god and is guilty of Dunning Kruger, like claiming 150 year olds on Social Security is obvious corruption when his DOGE team is under 20.

The 150 year figure comes from a default date in old IBM COBOL systems, which the young DOGE team would not know, unlike IO's veteran Ada and Lisp programmers.

A truth engine would test Musk's COBOL claim across swarm, AI, and prediction market, asking how many millions he would burn if wrong before you take it seriously.

Doubts Musk is fully committed to free speech versus a free platform for his own worldview, though that view was shared by millions who were deplatformed.

You can weight relevance and visibility by truthiness so the more veracity a post has the more visible it is, which is not censorship.

Calls this quality curation, where balanced thoughtful information is more visible than a drunk 3am rant about leprechauns, unlike today's clickable algorithms.

Contrasts a click orientation with a truth orientation, saying mature societies pursue objective reality while broken ones chase clicks, the core flaw of social media.

Musk is not a savior but a brilliant entrepreneur behind Neuralink and Mars, and admitting one's own imperfection is the first step to wisdom.

Community Notes are an essential building block for a truth oriented algorithm, and long form podcasts like Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman thrive on society's hunger for real conversation.

A truth engine would raise quality for real people and expose propagandists, and it does not need Grok since Llama or the Allen Institute's open AI could run it locally in years.

The mainstream media is corrupt but not every journalist is evil, and criticism of deputizing Musk's Special Forces protection detail as US Marshals lacks critical thinking.

Argues the ex Navy Seals and Green Berets protecting Musk are trusted, and he pays himself unlike Dr Fauci's 7.5 million taxpayer bill, so calling it a coup is a vacuous talking point.

He is fatigued by talking points from all sides, where people are so drained they wait for a leader to tell them what to feel.

Quantum computing, synthetic biology, AI, and nanomaterials give humanity more capability and less wisdom than ever, so society must return to an addiction to truth.

His math background taught addiction to truth and rigor, a bar reachable not deterministically but probabilistically as a society that improves each year.

Urges Musk to fix rather than remove Community Notes with the humility to invite in people who know how, or he will leave X as discourse quality falls.

X is full of bots and radical polarization, and hard to verify news like whether Hayden is dead, though it delivered the real Trump assassination story CNN got wrong.

X should not descend into echoing White House talking points on Ukraine, and Bluesky is no answer because it censors anything not left wing.

Visibility should rest on a metric of objective reality, and platform builders have a responsibility to raise collective intelligence, awareness, and empathy.

As a crypto guy he calls it how he sees it, praising Grok one day and criticizing Community Notes the next, and losing business over honesty shows how sick society is.

People must be free to disagree and hold each other accountable, noting every critic in Cardano kept or gained power because governance was built the opposite way.

Admits a blinding rage over COVID and a deep anger at the Biden administration for imprisoning, suing, and debanking people he grew up with in crypto.

Calls the crypto crackdown a worse abuse than Watergate by an administration addicted to lying, hiding the president's dementia with the media as an open secret.

The way out is systems addicted to truth, his life's work, where blockchain's immutable timestamps plus AI and incentives build a Truth Street beside Wall Street, then wisdom.
