Dario Mortini, Evidentially Hedged Assertions and the Knowledge Norm of Assertion - PhilPapers Speakers make evidentially hedged assertions when they weaken commitment to what they assert in virtue of disclosing imperfectly reliable sources of evidence in their assertions. A novel and increasin...

For those who might be interested: I have a new paper forthcoming in Erkenntnis. It's about whether linguistic data on hedging support the popular knowledge norm of assertion (spoiler: it's not so clear that they do).

Column | Zuckerberg fired the fact-checkers. We tested their replacement. Our tech columnist drafted 65 community notes, Meta’s new crowdsourced system to fight falsehoods. It failed to make a dent.

Community Notes were never going to replace fact checking. It could offer something else, something complementary.

So far it does not look like it is offering much. Saying that it is a new system still being tested is simply not good enough when you are Meta.

Like the widely reported study showing that 59% of social media users repost news without reading them – a percentage which must include all journalist reporting on this, since the study makes no such claim

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.
