ThrowForward Thursday 178: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Post Truth World
Description
What if the truth could be edited?
In a world of AI deepfakes, fake news, and manipulated media, how do we know what's real anymore? Blend science fiction and foresight in this mind-bending episode of ThrowForward Thursday, inspired by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Douglas Adams' classic story predicted today's world - crowdsourced "truths," social networks, and reality distortion fields long before they existed.
