xkcd 386: Duty Calls

xkcd #386

I contribute to Community Notes on X and occasionally edit Wikipedia. It's satisfying to fix small errors where people actually look for answers. Nothing grand—just a hobby.

Most of my Community Notes are in Spanish. There seems to be a supply gap: not enough contributors who speak Spanish relative to the demand. So that's where I end up being useful.

I've been tinkering with how to automate parts of this process with Claude Code / Cowork. Suggestions welcome.

My friend Steve Isley built something interesting: an AI system that fact-checked Elon Musk's Cybertruck post and got a Community Note approved. Check out the Open Note Network, his detailed writeup, the GitHub, and the AI For Human Reasoning Fellowship.

From Steve's writeup: "I'm not actually going to continue maintaining this project, but I hope that the lessons I learned will be helpful to other people attempting to build AI-based fact checking systems." If you're interested in picking this up, reach out to him or me.

Steve's AI-generated Community Note:

Tesla Cybertruck beats a 911 while towing a 911, which mean it can carry a 911 faster down a 1/4 mile than the Porsche can travel by itself 🤯 https://t.co/LkxQJr41Mg
