Had a fascinating conversation with Alex Hudson about the current media landscape and the misinformation crisis that's reshaping how we consume information.
Turns out the root causes aren't what most people assume...
We dove deep into:→ The real drivers behind misinformation (hint: it's not just "fake news")→ How social media has fundamentally changed the game→ Where AI fits into this mess (and why Alex and I completely disagreed on this one)

Some eye-opening insights that'll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about modern media consumption.
What's your take on the biggest threat to reliable information today?
