“Information must be either true or absent,” said S.P. Korolev, chief designer of rocket and space systems.
For a long time, libraries were one of the powerful tools for searching for information, where in the book depositories there was direct access to books for readers, when they, spending a lot of personal time, could freely search.
With the accumulation of books, and therefore the information contained in them, the possibilities of traditional search methods: using an alphabetical catalog (search for a book by a well-known author name) and a systematic catalog (search for a book or a class of books on a specific subject) - ceased to satisfy us.
After all, if earlier there was a shortage of information, it was collected bit by bit, money was paid to learn something new, but now, in the age of the Internet, on the contrary, there is an overabundance of information. It has no lack. But another problem arose - who to believe (which speaker, author of an article, book). As a result of the abundance and contradiction of information, it becomes necessary to independently filter and systematize the entire volume of incoming information.
Today, the Internet is the most popular source of information. This is understandable - searching the net takes less time than reading reference literature, and even more so visiting the library, watching newspapers and television programs.
Information from the worldwide web today provokes us to various actions.
One of them is panic – and that is always dangerous. Especially in the conditions of complete information openness of society and the availability of the Internet to almost everyone and for everyone. Any information, even if it is completely reliable, passed along the chain from one to another, gradually acquiring details (sometimes invented), can change beyond recognition. And negative information, even more so. People love horror stories.
Therefore, trusting everything that is written on the network is too naive and even stupid, because the Internet is a free access zone where everyone can do whatever they want. The process of searching for information is a delicate and very difficult matter.
Will we be able to distinguish truth from lies in such a vast digital space?
Sure, but it's getting harder. Several factors play into the hands of the lie, such as the emergence of completely unbelievable technologies and the training of users to believe even in obvious lies. Experts also note that people are more likely to believe in lies when there is a shortage of time required to evaluate information and carefully verify it. As a typical example, one can cite what was happening in the world at the very beginning of the pandemic. Frightened by an unknown and mysterious disease, people were deliberately stuffed with information that had nothing to do with the truth. As a result, many people began to seriously believe in the existence of a "world conspiracy." Many, having learned about the "sensation", begin to send it to their friends and acquaintances. Because there is a habit of sharing news.
After all, our current information ecosystem is a crazy digital space where we can connect with millions of people, interact and have conversations, manage responses, or ignore anyone we don't want to talk to.
For our social, career, and political relationships to work, we need trust. Why? Because doubt will never create a harmonious relationship. And it turns out that we begin to believe in what we hear, see and read. We consider this to be true, and this is a substitution of truth.
The traditional way of verifying online content, i.e. through "manual" knowledge-based fact checking, is made difficult or next to impossible by the sheer volume of information that is created online and spreads rapidly. This is especially evident in the case of social networks, where users can freely share content that can go viral in just a few hours. Thus, there is a need to evaluate information on the virality of a huge amount of data in a limited time mode.
Today I want to talk about a new project - an ecosystem called Exorde, built around a basic platform that provides objective assessments of trust in information based on a community and an artificial intelligence module. The idea of the project is to track the spread of information through the entire Internet network in real time. The goal of the project is to find the source of viral information in its original form, before this information becomes viral.
Exorde is run by its DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) and uses community votes and polls. Management will be decentralized among all members of the community. Collectively, they will be able to change the internal rules and parameters of the systems (rewards, limits, delays, scheduling, etc.) and will have a built-in reputation system. These mechanisms are designed to continually align the interests of the community and its governance for the benefit of Exorde.
Exorde working systems are the core component and will serve as the base layer for the entire ecosystem. Exorde is based on four main parameters:
Ethereum is an open source platform that allows developers to create and deploy decentralized applications on it.
Skale is an elastic sidechain network connected to the Ethereum chain, acting as an execution layer. It is a scalable and elastic environment that provides high transaction throughput.
Filecoin is a decentralized data storage system that intends to replace the expensive and inefficient servers of Google and Amazon.
NLP is an artificial intelligence module that will work with unstructured text.
In addition, the Exorde Labs team is proud to announce the launch of the Testnet, which will consist of four stages:
This is just the beginning of the Exorde journey, and even the Testnet journey itself!
Stage 1: Initial observation, where the Exorde Labs team will be the only participant to check that everything works well enough and the system is stable enough. This phase should last ~7 days.
Stage 2: Gradual opening of Testnet for beta testers. The team will release web scraping modules (only compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac for now later this summer) to participate in Testnet. A web dashboard will be provided to monitor network activity, statistics and URLs. This phase should last 1 month.
Stage 3: Consolidation. Testnet should be open to anyone who wants to download open source modules and participate! This phase will include more detailed web panels showing blocks of data being mined on the Exorde network, the number of free and employed workers, protocol details with additional statistics, URLs, and more. End of July, beginning of August.
Stage 4: Testnet v0.2, with improved staking mechanisms, rewards and dynamic protocol settings. Constant improvements, the most advanced web scraping modules! End of summer - September.
