- prometheus76 1y agoThey farm you for attention, not electricity. Attention (engagement time) is how they quantify "quality" so that it can be gamed with an algorithm.

- antod 1y agoSounds about right, most of us already are. But why would the AI need our shit? Surely it wants electricity?
- beyarkay 1y agoThe Matrix only had people being batteries because a movie without humans in it isn't a fun movie to watch.
