#

#
sandro last meeting, I see, " ... should we queue Mastadon stuff for the next meeting? "
#

eprodrom social greetings fellow socialites
#
sandro eprodrom, I was curious if there was a meeting today, but not seeing sign of it. pretty busy myself.
#
eprodrom right
#
eprodrom I am sitting in the Mumble channel all alone
#
sandro heh
#
eprodrom And I don't see an agenda up
#
sandro right
#
eprodrom So I'm guessing the answer is no?
#
sandro agreed
#
sandro these things take a surprising amount of work
#
eprodrom Running groups and meetings and so on?
#
eprodrom Indeed!
#
sandro yeah
#
eprodrom How are you doing?
#
sandro but if you're looking for meeting, you might consider coming to mine on Fact Checking in 2 hours. :-) credweb.org
#
eprodrom Huh
#
eprodrom Honestly I shouldn't
#
eprodrom Because I will find it interesting and get too involved
#
sandro I'm doing pretty well, trying to make the web a more trustworthy place :-)
#
eprodrom That's great!
#
sandro what could be more important? :-) :-)
#
sandro (But yeah, oversubscribing your time is not good.)
#
eprodrom Indeed! I have to get the AP code for pump.io finished before I start any new projects
#
sandro +1
#
eprodrom But I'm interested in using Fuzzy.ai for credibility scoring on social content
#
sandro decentralization remains vital
#
eprodrom My friend Craig Silverman, who wrote the first "fake news" story for Buzzfeed, had a previous company called emergent.info, and it was one of the first applications we worked on for Fuzzy.ai
#
sandro ah, interesting. yeah, lots of people playing around with stuff like that. a related group is putting together a training set. Should be good as long as it's useful with an awareness that it's pretty dumb.
#
eprodrom I think it's also very personal
#
sandro perhaps. very similar to spam filtering, in some ways.
#
eprodrom Well
#
eprodrom Probably
#
eprodrom I am a lot more concerned about false positives in news scoring than I am about false positives in email advertising about home loans
#
sandro Yeah. Personally, I'm concerned about borderline truths/spin, rather than complete fabrications
#
sandro or, I should say, *more* than
#
eprodrom Right! That's very interesting stuff
#
eprodrom Did your recording of your talk go up on the Web yet?
#
sandro see my FB post yesterday trying to disentangle some of the claims around Jordan Peterson. Or maybe don't, if you have anything else to get done.
#
sandro Yes, https://peertube.mastodon.host/videos/watch/969ea381-4800-4718-b085-8c6ab1c518bb
#
sandro or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbPJiplFA0Q if you prefer
#
eprodrom Ha ha nooooooo
#
eprodrom Do you mind if I share the link? I assume it's public for a reason
#
sandro yep, it's public
#
sandro so please share
