My interview from TED with @kcoleman and @audreyt just went live! Tons of gold in here: -why we stuck with crazy principles like not having an override button -how AI and humans collaborate to write better/more notes than either on their own -how much impact community notes are making -why our algorithm is smarter than regular upvoting/downvoting -new ideas for finding common ground on social media ted.com/talks/keith_co…

@robyncaplan @kcoleman glad to hear! (also, this feels like exactly the kind of thing that's been missing from my for you feed for years and is now very back -- guess I have the new algo to thank?)

@kcoleman Oh man, that is a very exciting prospect, particularly for my student! We found some things to be relatively optimistic about tbh.

Btw last month I got a rejection from TPRC on a paper about the community notes algorithm (co-authored with a student) and one review was literally just “be careful what you wish for.” What do we think they meant by this?

@robyncaplan @jonathanstray oof. sadly we got a similarly weird review on this topic recently too... made me think it'd be great to try to improve the peer review process with some ideas from the community notes algo ha

@jonathanstray But the curious part was that it wasn’t like we were arguing for community notes vs human fact checking. So just doing a paper on the topic is an issue…

@jaybaxter Does the algorithm notice Likes anymore? To encourage my mutuals to post more, and for the algorithm to show them to me, I have been Liking nearly every post that I see from a mutual for more than a year now, as a test.

nature is healing my timeline's been really good for the past 2-3 weeks but got even better today with the mutual follow boost. (also: pretty cool that we shared metrics on this.) if you're a lowbie who stopped posting because some algo change a while ago caused you to start getting like 10 views per post even though you have 100 active mutuals, try posting again and see what happens now. is it fixed??

@NathanpmYoung Ideally I would like this as an add-on in my podcast app, where an AI voice interrupts the podcast like "*bing* AI fact-checker here: Actually, China is only the second biggest country by population now. Dwarkesh's point still stands. Back to the show! *bing*"

We ran our AI note writer on @dwarkesh_sp podcasts. Here are 7 'community notes' from his recent episodes. Check them out! Claim: Huawei shipped millions of AI chips in a recent year. Note: Huawei estimated shipments for the Ascend AI chip series were approximately 700,000 units in 2025. While 2026 projections reach 1.6 million silicon dies, this figure includes inventory and yield loss rather than millions of finished chips shipped.

Some personal news: I joined Anthropic this week! I'm so excited to be part of the amazing Societal Impacts team, where I'll have the privilege and responsibility to research how AI is affecting people and society - and (hopefully) to change its trajectory for the better 🤞

@Polymarket Then they should not be a community note topic since they fit well within the regular one dimensional model :) @jaybaxter

JUST IN: New study suggests political ideology is the strongest predictor of Messi/Ronaldo preference — with progressives leaning Messi & conservatives leaning Ronaldo.

We're running our Community Notes bot on @dwarkesh_sp transcripts. Will share in the next few days. What would excite you about podcast fact-checking?

Populair YT channel "Hoog" made a shorter (still 42 min!) and very dramatic video version of Europe 2031. If the full scenario felt like a lot to read or listen to, start here: youtube.com/watch?v=C84Lny…

Has community notes changed how fact checking works on social media? In this interview with @audreyt, @X’s @jaybaxter and @kcoleman explore the origins of the idea — and why people across the political spectrum trust it: t.ted.com/cG9TPjs

like this options for now: -reply asking @grok if your post is accurate -if your community notes writing impact >=2, then when you make a note request, you trigger an initially-AI-authored collaborative note, which will respond with a note, even if it finds the post to be accurate

i'd love to opt into a high fact check x feed, where you can request a community note fact check on your tweet and show that it "passed"

We take community notes for granted now but I can’t emphasize enough how hard it is to pull off an entirely new social mechanic - build trust, acceptance, etc. So many ways it could have gone wrong, like social features often do. Kudos to the team.
