Interview with Renee DiResta on Disinformation (Video)
🕑 Added 2023-05-09 09:35:06 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
The new episode is out today with Matt Johnson with new intro/outro segments. We have also recorded the full Hitchens decoding episode but that will take a little bit of time to edit.
In the meantime, here is an interview we just recorded today with Renee DiResta on a range of topics including...
Contemporary disinformation networks (including how they have been impacted by Elon’s Twitter), Renee's research on the 2016 election, covid conspiracies, and disinformation ecosystems, the role of bots in social media, her experience becoming a target for conspiracy theorists, and how important gurus are in spreading conspiracies.
Enjoyed this one and hope you all do too. Also just trying out to upload the episode on Patreon directly. Let me know if there are any issues.

Oh yeah don't worry we are not manually levelling but it's still a little bit of a pain. We use Descript primarily.
Brendan Smith
Amazing, thanks! I don't know what your workflow is but there are a few tools out there that can automate the leveling in a few clicks to a decently high standard and saves the time of going through 90mins manually.

I’ll upload on YouTube!

Not loving the Patreon upload. Web browser does the thing where it stops the video if you scroll it out of your screen (like, to write this comment). I can't imagine what kind of inbred UX imbecile invented that whole hostile architecture trend.

I also very much appreciated her talking about information cascades and complex contagion intelligently. Very much how my thinking goes on how this creates an environment for information pathogens...

You can clip away, it won't be out for a few weeks but nothing is secret!
Christopher Kavanagh
Outputting now. I have the YouTube subscription thing so I can watch videos when phone is closed but its very annoying otherwise. The issue with audio is like to do a pass to get levels and worst audio issues fixed. But that has been done now.
Protagonist Science
God this has so much to love, might need to take out some clips if that is allowed? Otherwise I wait

Patreon video seems to work just fine but, like YouTube, doesn't continue playing for phone listeners when the phone is locked (at least for me) like Patreon audio only does. Sometimes I'll quickly rip the video's audio so I have something playable on the phone when out and about. I don't know about other people but I'd appreciate audio uploads if it wasn't any hassle for you Decoders!
Protagonist Science
Renee is brilliant, can't wait to listen!
