Networked Credibility: How AI Is Turning Influencers, Media, and Search into One Unified Reputation Score

This episode unpacks the argument that AI is dissolving the old silos—search, media, and influencers—and replacing them with a single, constantly updating "unified reputation score" that decides what information and creators get amplified. We cover how the system works (vectors, anchor nodes, and consensus), the upside (less spam, faster answers), the dangers (conservatism, deplatforming, and centralization), and what creators and businesses must do to survive.
