揭露AI被用来压制记者
Peter Thiel 和 Balaji Srinivasan 资助的平台 Objection.ai 允许用户以2000美元起价投诉记者报道。平台由人类调查员审查后，提交给 OpenAI、Anthropic、Grok、Google 的 AI 模型组成的“陪审团”发布真实性裁决，并排名记者在真相讲述和更正方面的指标。记者若不回应辩护，裁决仍会在线发布。该系统将匿名来源视为不可信，排名靠后，而匿名来源是五角大楼文件等重大问责报道的关键。民权律师称其为“富人的高科技保护费”。

horrifying Mike Young @micyoung75 Peter Thiel and Balaji Srinivasan have funded a platform called Objection.ai that allows anyone to file a complaint against a journalist's story for a starting price of $2,000. A team of human investigators examines the story, then submits findings to a "jury" of AI models - OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok, Google - which publish a "verdict" on the story's truthfulness and rank individual journalists on metrics including truth-telling and corrections. If the journalist doesn't respond to defend their reporting, the verdict is issued and published online anyway. The platform is being sold as "letting anyone fight the press like a billionaire." The creator is Aron D'Souza, who led the Thiel-funded lawsuit that bankrupted Gawker in 2016. The design choices tell you what this is. The system treats anonymous sources as less trustworthy and ranks anonymous whistleblower claims near the bottom. Anonymous sources are how most significant accountability journalism happens - they're how the Pentagon Papers got out, how the CIA's black site program got exposed, how the HHS stories we've covered this week were reported. The people who most need protection from powerful interests are specifically deprioritized by Objection's scoring system. The creator calls it "the same as Community Notes." A civil rights and defamation attorney calls it "a high-tech protection racket for the rich and powerful." One of those descriptions is accurate. The AI models being used as the "tribunal" were trained on journalists' work without consent or compensation. They hallucinate. They amplify bias. They are being deployed here specifically to issue verdicts on the work of the people whose labor built them. Thiel killed Gawker with a lawsuit. This is faster and cheaper. 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 1 🔄 5 ❤️ 20 👀 1987 📊 4 ⚡
