“se ha puesto de moda la palabra "postverdad" para definir el contexto global de desinformación, aunque en realidad sería más acertado denominarlo "prementira", "multimentira" o "plurimentira", pues lo que principalmente llega al público no es más que una gran falsedad disfrazada de verdad”

“Most of us lived through the years when spam threatened to destroy e-mail. Today, democracy is being weakened by lies that come in waves and pound our senses the way a beach is assaulted by the surf. Leaders who play by the rules are having trouble staying ahead of a relentless news cycle and must devote too much effort trying to disprove stories that seem to come out of nowhere and have been invented solely to do them in.”

“Na era da (des)informação e da globalização, espalhando-se em progressão geométrica tal como o compartilhamento instantâneo das notícias falsas em um mundo intrinsecamente conectado, os próprios patógenos podem percorrer, em poucas horas, o globo; já não mais se deslocam lentamente, pegando carona com os passageiros de caravelas ou caravanas, meses a viajar por mares, rios ou estradas. As pandemias do século 21 — reais e ficcionais— são intrinsecamente subjugadas ao lado perverso da era da internet e dos aviões a jato.”

“Statement on Generative AI Just like Artificial Intelligence as a whole, on the matter of Generative AI, the world is divided into two camps - one side is the ardent advocate, the other is the outspoken opposition. As for me, I am neither. I don't have a problem with AI generated content, I have a problem when it's rooted in fraud and deception. In fact, AI generated content could open up new horizons of human creativity - but only if practiced with conscience. For example, we could set up a whole new genre of AI generated material in every field of human endeavor. We could have AI generated movies, alongside human movies - we could have AI generated music, alongside human music - we could have AI generated poetry and literature, alongside human poetry and literature - and so on. The possibilities are endless - and all above board. This way we make AI a positive part of human existence, rather than facilitating the obliteration of everything human about human life. This of course brings up a rather existential question - how do we distinguish between AI generated content and human created material? Well, you can't - any more than you can tell the photoshop alterations on billboard models or good CGI effects in sci-fi movies. Therefore, that responsibility must be carried by experts, just like medical problems are handled by healthcare practitioners. Here I have two particular expertise in mind - one precautionary, the other counteractive. Let's talk about the counteractive measure first - this duty falls upon the shoulders of journalists. Every viral content must be source-checked by responsible journalists, and declared publicly as fake, i.e. AI generated, unless recognized otherwise. Littlest of fake content can do great damage to society - therefore - journalists, stand guard! Now comes the precautionary part. Precaution against AI generated content must be borne by the makers of AI, i.e. the developers. No AI model must produce any material without some form of digital signature embedded in them, that effectively makes the distinction between AI generated content and human material mainstream. If developers fail to stand accountable out of their own free will, they must be held accountable legally. On this point, to the nations of the world I say, you can't expect backward governments like our United States to take the first step - where guns get priority over children - therefore, my brave and civilized nations of the world - you gotta set the precedent on holding tech giants accountable - without depending on morally bankrupt democratic imperialists. And remember, the idea is not to ban innovation, but to adapt it with human welfare. All said and done, the final responsibility falls upon just one person, and one person alone - the everyday ordinary consumer. Your mind has no reason to not believe the things you find on the internet, unless you make it a habit to actively question everything - or at least, not accept anything at face value. Remember this. Just because it's viral, doesn't make it true. Just because it's popular, doesn't make it right.”

“The word fascism is not a word of abuse any more than the word capitalism is. It is a concept denoting a very definite kind of mass leadership and mass influence: authoritarian, one-party system, hence totalitarian, a system in which power takes priority over objective interests, and facts are distorted for political purposes. Hence, there are "fascist Jews," just as there are "fascist Democrats.”

“Ripetete una bugia cento, mille, un milione di volte, e diventerà una verità», pare dicesse il ministro della propaganda Joseph Goebbels quando illustrava, come uno chef orgoglioso della propria ricetta, la lista degli ingredienti per una efficace informazione totalitaria. Ricetta applicabile anche oggi, tanto più che i supporti su cui può correre una notizia, vera o falsa che sia, sono infinitamente più veloci di quelli dei tempi del ministro della propaganda del Reich. Così veloci che l’eventuale lavoro di ricerca e smentita risulta inutile, superato dalla velocità di immissione di sempre nuove bugie nel sistema. Smontare una bufala quando la gente già parla d’altro è inutile: una battaglia persa, o comunque a perdere.”

“Se si guardano le informazioni sui reati, bisogna ammettere che durante il regime fascista, tra il 1924 e il 1943, le statistiche ufficiali riportano un crollo dei reati mafiosi in Sicilia, che addirittura a partire dal 1929 praticamente scomparvero. Come fece il regime a ottenere questo straordinario risultato statistico? Semplice, in una dittatura: impedendo che si desse notizia pubblica dei reati di mafia: i giornali non ne parlarono più e l’opinione pubblica non venne più informata degli episodi di violenza. Al contempo aumentarono i reati violenti comuni: omicidi che venivano derubricati come delitti d’onore, furti che non erano più estorsioni mafiose, ma semplici rapine. Sotto il fascismo la mafia, più che debellata, fu “silenziata”. Non solo nel senso che le venne impedito di commettere azioni plateali, ma anche che il suo agire non fu identificato, ma anzi taciuto.”

“Honestly, people are definitely dumber. They just keep passing stuff around. Nobody fact-checks anything anymore — I mean, that’s how Trump got elected. He just said whatever he wanted, and people believed everything, and when the things he said turned out not to be true, people didn’t care because they’d already accepted it. It’s real scary. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“I thought they’d fact-check it, and it’d make them look worse. I mean that’s how this always works: Someone posts something I write, then they find out it’s false, then they look like idiots. But Trump supporters — they just keep running with it! They never fact-check anything! Now he’s in the White House. Looking back, instead of hurting the campaign, I think I helped it. And that feels [bad].”

“When fake news isn’t completely fabricated, it typically distorts real-world information by tweaking or contorting it, mixing it with true information, and highlighting its most sensational and emotional elements. It then scales rapidly on social media and spreads faster than our ability to verify or debunk it. Once it spreads, it’s hard to put back in the bottle and even harder to clean up, even with a healthy dose of the truth.”

“Totalitarian propaganda perfects the techniques of mass propaganda, but it neither invents them nor originates their themes. These were prepared for them by fifty years of imperialism and disintegration of the nation-state, when the mob entered the scene of European politics. Like the earlier mob leaders, the spokesmen for totalitarian movements possessed an unerring instinct for anything that ordinary party propaganda or public opinion did not care or dare to touch. Everything hidden, everything passed over in silence, became of major significance, regardless of its own intrinsic importance. The mob really believed that truth was whatever respectable society had hypocritically passed over, or covered up with corruption.”

“Examples of this type of propaganda include the false and debunked portrayal of Trump as having mocked a disabled person, the false claim that Trump supported white supremacists and Nazis at the Charlottesville Virginia riots and the false claim that Trump supported a “Muslim ban.”
