Ai is a Skinner box right now. It’s designed to capture attention. It does that by measuring how intensely something makes you feel. Dopamine high = content dependence and an attention reward. If you see people fighting your brain looks. If you see something normal who cares? You’re not forming relationships with people. You’re trying to get likes and shares. Why the hell would you do something boring like find a middle ground? It’s fun because this article from another thread might help people think of ideas on how to fix this. Algorithms are the attention filter right now. They obviously suck and don’t respect autonomy. Personally I liked the days of “content like this” navigation. I used to spend hours just walking around the network of Spotify songs to find new content. Now you can’t do that. The algo suggests stuff and you’re not really free to explore the graph. https://lithub.com/how-we-pay-attention-changes-the-very-shape-of-our-brains/ https://lithub.com/how-we-pay-attention-changes-the-very-sha...
