@TwraSun How on earth is this getting so boosted?

Here's the source thread from @MartinEscardo mathstodon.xyz/@MartinEscardo/

And a comment from @Gert debunking it: qoto.org/@Gert/112309441332348

Sharing an undated, unsourced text-image of misinformation to stoke outrage is some Twitter-level shit. We can and should do better.

@kandersonus @TwraSun @MartinEscardo Is there something wrong with my post? I didn’t mean to be offensive in any way, just to help clarify something that seemed strange to me. However, perhaps it is true that we will have to pay more attention to how we educate young people regarding digital and AI.

@Gert @TwraSun @MartinEscardo Nothing wrong at all! I appreciated how you provided actual numbers showing how the Martin’s statement (the one quoted in the text-image) was way off base.

Unsourced and undated screenshots and text-images like the one above drive me up a wall because the linger online forever and do nothing but stoke outrage, even after they're irrelevant (if they ever were).

Cited posts like yours, though, are what we need more of. So thank you! 🙏
