  @tysonbrody What's the theory here, that there is a meaningful number of people who would consider talking to journalists, but only on the condition that they agree to use this app?

  This is a new Peter Thiel-backed company that promises to use former CIA and FBI agents and an “AI Tribunal” to investigate reporters. It also seems to offer a messaging platform where reporters will have to agree to “binding arbitration” process

• @tysonbrody Tyson Brody on x

  this rocks, the claim is to be some sort of AI powered fact checker but actually it's supposed to be a tool to force journalists to agree to legally binding arbitration before any interview or story. good luck!!!! [image]

  Aron D'Souza, the man who coordinated with Peter Thiel to take out Gawker Media, has a new venture that says it will use private investigators and AI to apparently push back on unfavorable media stories. It's claiming it has developed an “AI Tribunal,” whatever that means.

• @rmac18 Ryan Mac on x

  It's unsurprising that tech billionaires including Thiel are funding this and that the company's solution to the intractable problem of journalism is AI. But I'm asking anyone to explain in plain english what this actually means and how it will actually work. [image]

  I just tried this out with what I believe is a FALSE legacy media story (that Nic and Olandria are still together and not just pretending bc its good for their business) and it was going to charge me $15,000 to investigate. Worth every penny [image]

  @objectionupdate Imagine pulling this Bond villain shit on literally the day of action for Anti-SLAAP lawsuits. Powerful cunts with a lot to fear starting muscular beat down companies. Maybe grow a spine and some eyebrows

  Legacy media. Anonymous sources. Narrative spin. Zero accountability. Peter Thiel is backing the system that ends it. Objection is live. https://www.objection.ai/ [video]

  Everyone understands that this is going to be a tool used by the Right to undermine the credibility of fact based reporting, yes? [embedded post]
