Interesting watching social media turn into… Just media. Nothing social about it anymore, It’s little bite sized chunks of infotainment.

Traditional media was nothing like this. It wasn’t so granular, it couldn’t create individual realities for individual users.

The websites we use have the power to determine whether we believe in genocides or not or if we know the civics of our own community.

How about they make the app stop refreshing my feed when I have to put the phone down for a second? Got real tired of losing what I was looking at when I re-opened it. I stopped using Instagram because of it.

Instagram should have been a weed delivery service

Likewise, AirDrop should have been a drone-based delivery service. Maybe they could partner up!

“Drop” in my language is a word for “a person you KYC everything shady on” - kinda like a “money mule” in English, but way broader. So…

I thought AirDrop was a service for scuba divers

I’m all for corporations souring their dopamine pipes. Perhaps it may encourage the users to do something useful with their free time, maybe even pick up a book or two (said he, while scrolling Lemmy in bed).

Nah, they’ll probably use their time to bring about a world peace or something.

I suspect they anticipate exponential increases in ML generated content creation quality and/or they expect that users will gobble up AI slop and it won’t effect medium/long term engagement growth.

I guess so, but engagement does not equal revenue, and the models are black boxes that are already falling apart. I have no idea where exponential improvement should come from - throwing more and more computational power into the maw can only get you so far.
