A college student just killed the biggest advantage politicians have ever had. The gap between the lie and the fact-check.
He built a Chrome extension called InTruth. It listens to any live speech, debate, or interview.
Transcribes every word. And checks every claim against real sources in real time. Before the speaker even finishes the sentence.
It works on debates. Press conferences. Town halls. Interviews. Anything with someone talking on video. The fact-check shows up on your screen while they're still talking.
Until now, fact-checking happened hours or days later. By then the clip has been shared, the headline has been written, and the damage is done. Nobody reads the correction.
InTruth closes that gap to seconds. The claim and the fact-check exist in the same moment.
A college student, a Chrome extension, and an AI model just did what entire newsrooms couldn't figure out for decades.
When I was young I thought things were bad because solutions were complicated, and now I'm older and realize things are bad because the solutions are often simple, but they would inconvenience affluent people, or those who aspire to be, and religious fanatics.
We reduced the City's contingent liability by R5 billion in the last quarter. In other news, we have now paid R2.5 billion towards the historic Eskom debt and have remained fully compliant with the payment agreement.
That's how you fix a broken city. Aggressively steady.
Vuka, Tshwane. This city won't build itself 🇿🇦❤️🇿🇦
This video brought the whole of Africa to its knees. 😂😂
To my friends in Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Uganda, there's no coming back from this.
Your brain treats handwriting and typing completely differently
A 2024 study found that handwriting triggers widespread connectivity across the entire brain, while typing barely engages the same pathways
This is why people who take notes by hand retain concepts longer than those who type
