The Machine Won. Can Humans band together before it's too late? [video]
- svieira 1y agoIn brief, the thesis of this video is: 'the machine is the cycle of advertising dollars paying for "engagement" rather than anything more meaningful. This leads to optimizing for "engagement" which results in the creation of polarization rather than the polarization happening first and the unpleasantness afterwards. Notice the machine. Talk about the machine. Then we can decide what to do about it.'
