I doubt it desu, but I see your point. Nevertheless there are people that believe this about Sup Forums. Hell, probably most people on here thought that this was a hate-speech conspiracy theory board before they started frequenting.
Gavin Baker
>Cybercrime researcher >Comes to Sup Forums
I'm curious. What cybercrime is Sup Forums participating in exactly?
Shouldn't this guy spend his time going after actual cyber criminals? There are entire networks out there full of people dealing in illegal shit, and he comes to Sup Forums because we say mean things?
Is this a joke?

Sup Forums may have added some to it but the in game protest was already massive with just reddit and people in game
Landon Hill
Because their views are iinherently flawed. Which is why sites like faggot central which is heavily moderated and censored is left wing and places like Sup Forums which is basically anything on topic and not illegal is right wing

Its so dark and underground that a presidential candidate had to make a hit piece on its CAMPAIGN WEBSITE, about the green frog that just can't stop making people cry out in frustration.

Asher Russell
I've been looking into how supposed "fake news" is quantified as part of a summer research project. The majority of algorithms rely on lists of (((fake news sites))) compiled by some authority (like snopes in the case of facebook). Others attempt to parse the site content looking for the percentage of opinion, which is again referenced to things that are "known true", verified by some authority, subjectively in most cases.
So if I say the earth is round on Infowars, it will be dismissed as "fake news" as Infowars has been deemed a "fake news" site.
There is some work in AI neural networks, however it is a long way off and in no way a accurate predictor of the truthfulness of any given text.
The problem is, as it has always been, with natural language processing. How can a computer read and interpret human language, in all its ambiguity, reliably.
So essentially what we have now is a program that parses text on a website, extracts the topic and stance (topic: jfk killed by cia. stance: true), determines if any "reliable" site has come to the same conclusion, check the target sites (((reliability score))), and issue a conclusion.
TL:DR ironically, by subjectively choosing what information is fake, fake news detection systems are, in and of themselves, fake news
Jack Gray
By thoroughly convincing oneself that any ideological opposition is rooted in malice, one can: >never admit to being wrong and completely ignore perfectly logical opposing arguments via the presumption that there is malicious intent underlying the proposals made therein >combat insecurities regarding moral character by believing that they are on the side of "good" against "evil" >silence and not have to deal with any opposition by making out the opposition to be "dangerous"
These left-wing ideologies actually have almost no basis in logic or reason. They are projections of psychological problems and complexes.
Jeremiah Morris
where did he get the neural nets from? did they train them themselves?

Brody Sanders
>where did he get the neural nets from? >did they train them themselves?
By "he" I'll assume you're referring to the projects I researched. They created the networks themselves and trained them themselves. So, even if a AI system becomes proficient at NLP, the logic it uses to determine "truth" will be completely subjective as it relies on human trainers.
Grayson Carter
The fact that the term "fake news" attempts to lump stupid hoax websites that've been around forever, subversive foreign propaganda, and conspiracy theories all into one is disturbingly dangerous. The term is clearly designed to be used both as a scapegoat for establishment electoral failures and to discredit anyone reporting information or offering commentary that runs contrary to the narrative -- God forbid, someday, as an excuse to regulate the press.
Easton Reyes
Well they have to come up with a counter strategy, we were destroying them.

Owen Cook
This /ourguyXYZ/ thing needs to stop. >can't let people spend too much time alone on that naughty site Can't let people get redpilled, he means.
Parker James
Exactly, and that any information not reported on extensively, by "reliable sources", is false by default.
So if I witness a bank robbery, have it on video, and post it to my blog, these algorithms will deem it fake as cnn doesn't know about it yet.
Ryder Lee
>The percentage of Sup Forums posts containing hate speech is 12% i'm quite dissapointed in this you goddamn niggers, i bet even a bunch of fucking kikes could do better

This must be how normies respond to this level of redpilling. I didn't realise I was so desensitised.

You know I genuinely believe leftists should be gassed and I can see the parallels in my behavior with this list, but at the same time I really do feel like Leftist ideology, doctrine, and policy is detestable and frankly evil.

yes, but there were dark times when chan wasn't linked on the intercyber. and by intercyber i mean cuckbook.

I read their papers in my university library. I'd post the link but I'm pretty sure you won't have access.
Here is how I initially went about it, using Google:
That led me to some interesting articles. Armed with those, I knew what to look for in the library
How this helps

That is way too low, from now on my every post will end with "kill niggers and jews"
Camden Thomas

Zachary Thompson
This guy is why Sup Forums even exists. Because he gets paid for a bullshit job with no defined goal. Just another faggot adding bullshit to the world. If this guy gives a shit about fake news, he'd be exposing those copy cat mainstream media sites posted around facebook and produced in macedonia. Or investigating the trend of reddit to suspiciously close every conversation when people start getting rowdy or calling for blood (where are those orders coming from?).
Fire this fucking nigger. Oh, was that hate speech? Maybe because the stupidity of the world is so great it demands intense nonsensical speech you fucking faggit.
Jace Gutierrez

Christopher Edwards
>I'd post the link but I'm pretty sure you won't have access. Why would you assume that, silly faggot? Post the links, if you already done the digging fatigue. Also, you could use a phone to document interesting articles if your library doesn't provide online access.
