This can be the title of a new film where ai-powered echo chambers produce progressively more polarized societies until civil war and anarchy destroy all of humankind.
Oh wait, this might just be reality already.
- bunderbunder 8y agoSociety's honestly not becoming particularly polarized, on anything remotely like a historical scale. To take US history, for example, I can think of several times in the past century alone that the public sphere was more acrimonious. I haven't made much of a study of primary sources, but I wouldn't be surprised if a common thing that happened every one of those times was that people would start trying to figure out how to turn "appeal to acrimony" into a convincing debate tactic.
