Posted March 4, 2015 Google seems to be working on technology (as according to a recent paper that was published) that can in fact tell you whether OP is full of shit or not. Hopefully. It would be interesting to see how they would implement this into their services (maybe rank sites based off some obscure measure of how "truthful" they are, or whatever else. Certainly a neat idea, thats for sure. But in a research paper published by Google in February — and reported over the weekend by New Scientist — that could, at least hypothetically, change. A team of computer scientists at Google has proposed a way to rank search results not by how popular Web pages are, but by their factual accuracy. To be really clear, this is 100 percent theoretical: It’s a research paper, not a product announcement or anything equally exciting. (Google publishes hundreds of research papers a year.) Still, the fact that a search engine could effectively evaluate truth, and that Google is actively contemplating that technology, should boggle the brain. After all, truth is a slippery, malleable thing — and grappling with it has traditionally been an exclusively human domain. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/03/02/google-has-developed-a-technology-to-tell-whether-facts-on-the-internet-are-true/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 4, 2015 I would rather have my results the way that they are. I don't want google trying to determine which sites and results are "accurate" (to their standards). *title says they developed it but article says it hasn't been made yet.

Posted March 4, 2015 How do we know this is true? Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me.

Posted March 4, 2015 How would this work with conspiracies? I imagine if the truth cannot be found it doesn't give a rating, i.e. the software or whatever it is would have a timeout period - as in, it would stop searching for the "truth" after a certain while and claim it to be pure speculation This is what I think of Pre-Ordering video games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp98SH3vW2Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
