The social media giant Meta is ending third-party fact checking of Facebook and its other platforms, relying instead on a community notes system. Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg said recent elections felt like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritising free speech, arguing that fact checkers were too politically biased. We hear two views of the change. Also in the programme: Donald Trump refuses to rule out economic - or military - intervention to gain control of the Panama Canal - and Greenland - what do the locals think about that? And we hear from a mountaineer on Mount Everest about what it was like when the earthquake hit.

Lors de la conférence Meta Connect 2024, Zuck était seul en scène et a enchaîné les annonces comme des uppercuts : Quest 3S, Meta AI, Llama 3.2, Orion… Mais derrière ce déluge technologique, il y a une vraie stratégie : ramener les réseaux sociaux dans le monde réel. Meta est peut être en train de redéfinir la manière dont on interagira en ligne, ils mettent le paquet pour que ça marche et c'est passionnant à observer.On parle aussi du phénomène AI Slop dans cet épisode de Silicon Carne, une histoire à peine croyable où Meta rémunère des créateurs pour créer des contenus toxiques générés par IA. Pourquoi ? Parce que ça fait exploser l'engagement. Cynique ? Oui. Efficace ? Encore plus.Et évidemment, on fait le point sur le drama chez OpenAI. Entre tensions internes, départs à la chaîne et MEGA levée de fonds, on est en pleine partie de poker ! Alors, vous êtes All In or Pass sur OpenAI ?

We have a very special episode of Decoder today. It's become a tradition every fall to have Verge deputy editor Alex Heath interview Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on the show at Meta Connect. This year, before his interview with Mark, Alex got to try a new pair of experimental AR glasses the company is calling Orion.  Alex talked to Mark about a whole lot more, including why the company is investing so heavily in AR, why he's shifted away from politics, Mark's thoughts on the link between teen mental health and social media, and why the Meta chief executive is done apologizing for corporate scandals like Cambridge Analytica that he feels were overblown and misrepresented.   Links: Hands-on with Orion, Meta's first pair of AR glasses | The Verge The biggest news from Meta Connect 2024 | The Verge Mark Zuckerberg: publishers ‘overestimate the value' of their work for training AI | The Verge Meta extends its Ray-Ban smart glasses deal beyond 2030 | The Verge The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses actually make the future look cool | The Verge Meta has a major opportunity to win the AI hardware race | The Verge Instagram is putting every teen into more private and restrictive new account | The Verge Threads isn't for news and politics, says Instagram's boss | The Verge Facebook puts news on the back burner | The Verge Meta is losing a billion dollars on VR and AR every single month | The Verge Transcript: https://www.theverge.com/e/24017522 Credits:  Decoder is a production of The Verge and is part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.
