We've written to @Conservatives to ask them to remove the “Tax Check UK" rebrand of @CCHQPress. This misrepresents posts on the account as an impartial fact checking service. Voters deserve better.

Our CEO @__ChrisMorris__ on what goes into live fact checking:
✅ Identify repeat claims
✅ Revise key datasets that we’re likely to use
✅ Publish explainers so good info is out there already
Follow along with us tonight for #SunakvStarmer #ITVDebate at 9pm

Last week I spent time in London with my @FullFact AI colleagues.
Despite the distance (over 9,000km!) we've built AI fact checking tools that support 30 fact checking orgs in 16 countries. This is the dream team that has made it all possible 👏

📣 CAMPAIGN WIN: Until today, the only people who could correct themselves on the official record of what is said in Parliament were Ministers.
Today, MPs voted to change that, so any MP who makes a mistake in Parliament can correct the official record.

Repeating misleading claims can destroy trust in our democracy. We wrote to @rishisunak and @greghands asking them to show leadership in not spreading misleading claims, including about other political parties 👇fullfact.org/media/uploads/g… #HereToLeadNotMislead
I'm pleased to reveal a new small language model called MESLaM! It's made of matchboxes and paper -- but it's perfectly capable of generating novel text!

Language models, large or small, are *not* intelligent.

One thing that keeps me up at night right now is the possibility that Twitter’s potential death spiral will coincide with a major regional/national/global crisis. For better or worse, Twitter is a crucial disaster comms tool, and we don’t have a replacement for it. 1/

As you might have read, Twitter’s Curation team - which I led - was disbanded last week. 🧵
The multilingual team, located in 9 cities, provided content intelligence for ML-driven products, trends context and highlighted credible content when Twitter really needed it.
Not sure I'm going to be part of the mass #TwitterExodus, but I have set myself up on #mastodon - come say hello! sigmoid.social/@dcorney
