If AI can beat one of the world’s top economists at his own game, what does that mean for the rest of us? At the #FreeSpeechSummit2025, Tyler Cowen explains how we can grow with AI.

In 1961, the French government swept the killing of dozens of Algerians under the rug. On The Gist podcast, @mchangama.bsky.social talks to @milkepescs.bsky.social about how citizens now have the technology to push back against official government narratives — but only if those tools remain free.

Can AI help people change their minds? At #FreeSpeechSummit2025, Alice Siu shared research showing that AI-assisted deliberation can shift opinions just as effectively as human-moderated discussions.

Do you trust the current administration as the arbiter of truth? What about the next one? At a recent @cato.org event, @mchangama.bsky.social explains how bottom-up social media fact-checking systems can empower citizens to question official narratives.

“DeepSeek doesn’t just block politically sensitive questions. It generates answers that echo the party state.” At #FreeSpeechSummit2025, Ge Chen warned that AI can be used not only for censorship but for large-scale propaganda and political influence.

“If [the West] did not have press freedom, we would have to invent it for them." That's what a KGB operative said about its mission to discredit democracies by instigating hate against Jews and creating support for hate speech bans. @mchangama.bsky.social explains:

At our #FreeSpeechSummit2024, @szabolcspanyi.bsky.social discussed Hungary’s crackdown on press freedom:

Chatbots' “hallucinating” is the least of our problems. While critics often cite AI inaccuracies as a fatal flaw, at our #FreeSpeechSummit2025, Tyler Cowen argues this is the most overrated problem in the current discourse.

How can we give social media users power over their feed? @noupside.bsky.social discusses ways to reshape the relationship between platforms, users, and their phones at our #FreeSpeechSummit2025.

“AI is never treated as a neutral or technical tool.” Ge Chen explained how China’s AI regulations go far beyond content moderation, embedding censorship directly into AI systems while also using AI proactively for state propaganda.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just fact-checked Donald Trump - on behalf of Thomas Massie. Trump claims Massie "votes for men in women's sports and transing kids." MTG says: "That's insane garbage. The president is unfortunately lying." Mike Lawler - who Trump is campaigning for - voted NO on MTG's

The MoCA is a screening tool for cognitive decline, not an IQ test. The fact that Trump keeps bragging about “acing” it as proof of brilliance should itself be disqualifying. Authoritarianism thrives on confusing basic competence with exceptional greatness.

When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, and for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people,and for the people,there's only one solution,and that's impeachment and removal

All these people that were talking about the economic decline of Russia are completely wrong! Nothing shows more activity than the smokestacks of factories. They even ran out of smokestacks, so they improvised free-air smoke plumes.
