“In order to move from the information age to the knowledge age, we must do better in distinguishing the real from the fake, reward trusted content over untrusted content, and educate the next generation to be better digital citizens.” — Professor Hany Farid, Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and the School of Information, UC Berkeley
“The American public, having been spun like summer sausages on a giant lazy susan in 1983, turned their backs unwittingly on Lady Liberty. Disoriented, they will collectively make democracy dissapear in the fall of 2024. David Copperfield is not to be blamed!”
