GenAI really is underscoring how much of society is about veracity.

I’d say the fears and defenses we had in place for speech online, are having their foundations ripped out from under them.

Most of the concern used to be about government control, and that more speech would be the way to democratize and expand our agency over our lives.

However now, especially with generative AI and LLMs, the primary vector to control the market place of ideas is to overwhelm the market.

Reduce the cost to make content, sandblast our receptors, create too many things to spend our collective energy on verifying, and the outcomes are the same as controlling what is thought and discussed.
