"Everyone's life will be difficult after that. I guess we have to be more careful."
"Lao Zhang, what should I say? Is there any new news? Compared to ten years ago, life in the past few years has been difficult enough. How can it be more difficult?"
"Control has been tightened in recent years, but at least you can make good money. It was so hard to run news in the past, but now? Just make up a few shocking headlines, and the traffic will come, and traffic is money.
Moreover, external tasks are easy to complete. As long as it can arouse enough discussion, you can get money.
From a business perspective, it has undoubtedly been much easier in recent years.
But according to my sources, new mechanisms will be introduced in the future so that people will no longer be able to fabricate fake news.
It is equivalent to the media being responsible for what they say. "
The middle-aged man who spoke said words that were harmful to his own interests, but there was a hint of pride on his face.
Clearly proud of the breadth of his sources.
Another middle-aged man sitting opposite him was obviously interested in him, but after a few seconds, a look of disdain appeared on his face:
"How else can we control it? If the authenticity of every piece of news has to be verified, how many more civil servants will be hired?
Although the government's finances have been better in recent years than they were three years ago, they are still difficult and money has to be spent everywhere.
How could the government put so much effort into controlling public opinion by fact-checking every news item?
It is estimated that it is still the same as before. The system screens news content and draws lines so that you can only report within the rules. But no matter how advanced artificial intelligence is, there is no way to judge whether the news is true or false, right?
In the past few years, I have seen self-driving trucks while driving on the highway. Byte’s news robots and Weibo’s posting robots have also become more and more advanced.
But if you want to judge whether the news is true or false, let alone China, I don’t think it can be done in the United States. "
“I don’t believe it either, but my source of information swore to me, and he told me very firmly that the government will definitely rectify the current chaos in the public opinion field.
As for the specific method used, he was not in a position to disclose it to me due to confidentiality regulations.
But if he dares to say this, I still believe it. Many previous policy directions are almost the same as what he said. "
“The question is by what means?
Have you ever thought about outsourcing this?
Reduce the number of news media, and then use outsourced personnel to review news content. In the past, it may be a random review, and then a comprehensive review.
It just so happens that jobs have been hard to find in recent years. Outsourcing has also alleviated social employment pressure to a certain extent. "
"No, if it were to reduce the number of media, my friend would definitely tell me instead of asking me to improve the level of the practitioners below.
Outsourcing is possible, but without reducing the number of media outlets, how many outsourcing personnel will be needed to do this?
Moreover, outsourced personnel doing news review also need to have certain discernment abilities.
There are quite a few high-level black people nowadays, and it’s really hard to tell if they don’t have any level of skills. "
The middle-aged man sitting opposite him smiled and said: "Haha, you don't have to worry about it.
Workers in the manufacturing and construction industries are hard to find.
There are not a large number of college students who like to surf the Internet. "
As former journalists, the above two people have not been on the front line for many years, but their awareness of society is still there.
The ability to perceive society and empathize are the basic skills of journalists, and veteran reporters will never forget them no matter how hard they stop working.
Of course, traffic is king in the self-media era, and the most important thing is no longer these, but the ability to capture hot spots and play with public emotions.
Traditional journalists are no longer popular and have been eliminated in large numbers.
But there are also people who are comfortable in the new era.
As long as the traditional media can switch to self-media, as long as the thinking and concept can be changed, it will be easy for most of them to make a living.
If they can quickly capture the hot spots, there are also many traditional media people whose careers can reach a higher level.
The middle-aged men we talked to above are all former traditional journalists who have done well in the self-media era.
But every change in the direction of the wind means that the ecology below will change accordingly.

"The News Research Institute under the Huaguo ** News Agency jointly developed the 'truth' system with Science and Technology Innovation"
“Can the truth system bring truth to the chaotic world of public opinion?”
"Science and Technology Biotechnology takes action again, Magician and Chinese officials jointly create a new application for brain-computer connection"
“Can technical means bring about essential changes in the world of public opinion?”
China's official media took the lead in publishing a description of the truth system, and clearly stated in it that it was the technical support provided by Kechuang Biotechnology.
After China's official report, public opinion was in an uproar.
Because the technology provider Kechuang Biotech has a high degree of recognition in China.
Even if one day Science and Technology comes out and says that we will land on Mars tomorrow, Chinese netizens will be skeptical.
Because scientific and technological creatures that have risen at rocket speed in recent years have created too many miracles.
The Chinese official media’s explanation emphasized that the truth system is based on brain-computer connection technology and is an application of brain-computer connection technology at the psychological level.
As the No. 1 player in the field of brain-computer connection, it is only natural that Kechuang Biotechnology can develop this technology.
Use technical means to control chaos in the public opinion field.
The report was discussed on almost all social media immediately after it came out.
Not only are the officials unable to tolerate the status quo, but as netizens, most netizens are also fed up with being first exaggerated, then refuted, and then reversed.
After several rounds of back and forth, most people will not be able to trust anything without clarification from the top.
Over and over again, the truth is ignored.
“How to evaluate the truth system?”
Even though in recent years, more and more famous Vs have left Zhihu
But Tieba is too naked, showing the truest side of yourself naked.
Weibo is the platform with the most chaos, Hupu is actually a variant of Tieba, Douban and Xiaohongshu are dominated by women, and most of them are used to vent their emotions.
Zhihu is still the mainstream social media in China where the most objective analysis can be seen.
Just like the live broadcast platform promotes positive energy, it cannot get rid of the relationship with side effects. This is determined by the initial positioning of the product.
Questions about the truth system were pushed to the top of Zhihu’s hot question list.
A large number of bloggers expressed their opinions in it:
“For some self-media people who make a living from traffic, those with ulterior motives will undoubtedly greatly increase their cost of pacing.
In the past, N rounds of refuting rumors were needed, but even after N rounds of refuting rumors, folk rumors were still used instead of official reports.
The consumption of manpower and material resources is a trivial matter, but the consumption of public credibility is a major matter.
With the truth system, whether it is a rumor or the truth, it can be solved on the front line, without the need for layers of investigations.
A simple thing turned into Rashomon, and every social incident requires everyone's efforts.
Not only the relevant people, the investigation team, and the unit, but even me, a casual observer, are tired every time.
If the truth system is as officially promoted, it will definitely be able to effectively avoid this phenomenon.
But there is one thing that deserves our vigilance: does the truth system have a background that can be modified?
But any system can definitely be modified. Even if the truth system cannot be modified, there will definitely be backdoors that can be modified in the final application.
Even if nine of the published facts are true and one is false, if even one of the falsehoods is discovered, it will be a complete collapse of the entire credibility system.
At that time, no amount of explanation could make up for it. Can the users of the truth system respect the truth no matter what, and not use public power to modify the system?
There is also a very important point. Sometimes even if it is the truth, part of the truth can be completely opposite to the whole truth.
Readers who like to read reasoning should understand what I mean.
Let me explain briefly, for example, if a husband and wife fight each other, the man does hit the woman, but it is the woman who strikes first, and the woman strikes many times, and the man only strikes after he can't bear it anymore.
Things like this are common, but if only one-sided facts are reported, for example, the man did indeed hit someone.
If such one-sided facts are judged through the truth system, will they also be judged to be true?
If the situation I mentioned occurs, how to avoid it in use?
My raising the above question is not against the promotion and use of the truth system. I am in favor of using technical means to curb the current chaos in public opinion.
I just want to remind relevant parties to block all possible problems during the promotion process and solve them as soon as possible. "
As China's strength has improved again in recent years, it has narrowed the distance from the first echelon in terms of technology.
It has even achieved catch-up in a few areas.
Therefore, the public opinion field in China has become increasingly chaotic, and incidents that "exploded" and then were inexplicably suppressed occurred one after another.
Reversal after reversal, the truth has not yet come out, and incidents where people are about to be turned into tops happen from time to time.
Anyone who has a little understanding of China's Internet public opinion ecology knows that if the truth system is really as advertised, it will certainly be able to curb the emergence of chaos to some extent.
“I am looking forward to the truth system and hope it can achieve the expected results.
Zheng Li is the world's most powerful expert in the field of brain-computer connection and is also a magician. I believe he can consider the problem carefully.
I only hope that the subsequent truth system will not only restrain self-media and individuals, but also restrain public power. "
The answer above is the most upvoted.
"Sister Tianyan just checked and found out that a company called Xinhua Truth Technology Co., Ltd. was established just last week.
The company's shareholders are Kechuang Biotechnology and **She. Among them, Ms. Li Miaomiao, the general manager of Kechuang Biotech, serves as an independent director of Xinhua Truth Technology Co., Ltd.
Judging from ** Agency’s latest documentation, there is no doubt that this new company will be responsible for the daily operation and promotion of the truth system.
Tianyanmei is as curious as everyone about how the truth system should be implemented at the specific application level.
However, Tianyanmei is still looking forward to another pioneering work of science and technology. "
Tianyanmei is Tianyancha’s self-proclaimed name on Zhihu. She is often active on major hot issues and analyzes hot events through corporate maps.
All the comments in this answer are:
"Misty Goddess"
"My insignificance"
There was little discussion about the incident itself:
"It is estimated that the truth system will be implemented through cooperation with major social media."
“I still believe that the products developed by Kechuang Biotech can achieve the expected results, but it’s hard to say what they will be like at the execution level.”
After the news came out, someone from Amerikan commented on the matter on his social media:
"I've had enough fake news, our media also needs a truth system!"
Before Musk acquired Twitter, he was already a big V on Twitter, with more followers than before.
After acquiring Twitter, I tweeted more frequently than before.
He said on Twitter:
"Next time I go to China, I will definitely ask Zheng Li to open Twitter. You believe me!"
"Twitter also needs to introduce a truth system."
In Jiangcheng, thousands of miles away from Suzhou, Li Xulin looked worried after seeing the news.
As a veteran of the industry for many years, Li Xulin, who likes to read history books despite being a man of science, quickly picked up on it.
In the evening of that day, Li Xulin had already fully fermented the news about the truth system on social media. After he had sorted out his thoughts, he called Li Miaomiao:
"Miaomiao, dad mainly wants to talk to you about the truth system."
After receiving the call and learning about Li Xulin's purpose, Li Miaomiao felt strange.
Because since Kechuang Biotech went public, Li Xulin has not talked with her about specific work.
Every time she went back or talked on the phone, Li Xulin would teach her the principles and methods of doing things.
But I never talk about specific company-level things.
Even if Science and Technology Creation mines the magic coin, Zheng Li uses the magic brain to become a mage.
Li Xulin never asked a question on the phone.
Today's talk about the truth system is the first time Li Xulin has asked about the specific affairs of their company since Kechuang Biotech went public.
In Li Miaomiao's view, the importance of the truth system is far less than that of magic coin.
This is just a task that Zheng Li cooperated with the Chinese officials.
For the newly established company, she will only make up the numbers and will not interfere with the company's specific operations.
"You tell me, I'm listening." Li Miaomiao remained calm on the surface, wanting to hear what his father had to say.
Li Xulin paused and said:
"The truth system is good and makes sense, but it's obviously too impactful."
"The benefits it affects will affect all levels of society."
Li Miaomiao: "I understand, so this is implemented by the official."
"We are only a technology provider and we are not involved in the actual operation of the joint venture."
Li Xulin sighed and said, "That's right. It's obvious that many people want to use you to block their guns."
"Whether it is in the official description of ** or in the promotions of major media, your company is placed in the main introduction position."
"In fact, it is completely mentioned that you are a technology provider, but all the news spends a lot of time introducing the technology provider and how advanced the brain-computer connection technology of Kechuang Biotech is."
"For those of you who clearly did this, someone deliberately put you in a conspicuous position."
Li Xulin had lived for too long. When he saw the initial introduction to the system, he clearly felt that something was wrong. Science and technology creatures appeared too frequently in it and were touted too highly.
Although Kechuang Biotech is indeed awesome in the technical field, the focus of the truth system is on this product.
