I wonder if flooding the internet with obviously-fake news (eg. markov model it) is one way to immunize people against the more slick kind of fake news.

- arethuza 10y agoThat reminds me of the mention of Artifcial Inanity systems mentioned in Anathem - which filled their equivalent of the Internet with plausible nonsense.
- jbmorgado 10y agoIt's also a sure way to inoculate them against every news in general... which wouldn't be a very positive outcome.
- mathgenius 10y agoYes you may be right. I guess a positive outcome would involve people using their brain more and checking their sources (of information) and just generally being less credulous.
