Just watched THE SOCIAL DILEMMA and now realize why many of the good people that I know have such diametrically opposing perspectives

You are going to have heart attack if you don’t step back from your rage and hatred.

BWAAHAHAHAHAHA. Damn you’re hilarious. OK it’s clear you’ve hit the “well I’m gonna get the last word” portion of being a hate filled moron. So you’re just gonna keep saying pathetic stupid crap until I let you “win”. Well, I tried. You didn’t want to learn. So I’ll let you “win”. Have the last word. I’m sure it will be hilariously stupid.

Big websites, the web in general, most TV shows and movies made in the past 40 years, every increasing control of EDU in that same time period. People are bombarded from all sides.

Oh if only it were that simple. While you might convince conservatives to adopt that tactic, leftists never will.

Irritated people are more likely to buy things - “consume”. Chaos in the community, and restrictive health mandates, ruin small business. Who benefits? Large businesses. Who pays for media? Large business. The media is beholden to people who want rash consumers and a lack of competition.

Most people are like salmonids. They need to run with the crowd and reproduce, but in the end they all die the same way.

Standing on principles even if it hurts is uncommon. Don’t get me wrong, not all issues are hills to die in. Some are. Once you carefully decide to draw your saber, either weild it to the end, or be willing to fall on it.

And both of you are fed highly manipulated information to elicit charged emotional responses.
.........................................
Utter nonsense and nothing but a thinly disguised attempt to argue an equivalency between information sources on the Right and the Left. Bullsh*t, pure and simple!

Evil despises morality and freedom. Why did Romans kill Christians? Democrats are no different.

Thanx for the heads' up

I JUST finished watching it (after posting the link on fakebook with the promo; A.I. IS ALREADY CONTROLLING YOU ... RIGHT NOW

I have been veering away from fb for about two months.

No reason I can see except I'm not satisfied with the responses people have (not just to me)

THIS is a very good INITIAL promotion of "how to cure the internet addiction" subject

My opinion is not manipulated by social media and I hate and I’m intolerant of anyone who wants to kill me because I don’t agree with them. Hate and intolerance is underrated when evaluating one’s life.

Is it hatred and intolerance to not want to convert to evil Islam? Or give in to Rat demands?

“Don’t be hateful and intolerant by nominating a replacement for RBG on SCOTUS.”
...........................................
Excellent post. I’ve stated before on this forum that there are circumstances in which “hate” can rightfully be considered a virtue. And, ipso facto, the same applies to “intolerance”.

If you or loved ones are active on social media, the video documentary is a must watch. Social media, search engines and propaganda news are far more insidious into manipulating us, our habits, dopamine reward cycles, buying habits, contacts...list goes on.

If you’re addicted to scrolling through social media, your brain is plugged into the matrix, altering reality without you even being aware of it
Frightening.

Now imagine when larger story computers with even more powerful AI come on the scene! Preprogrammed human bots mindlessly following orders will be even easier to create. Elections, protests, riots, social chaos can be orchestrated through such AI.

I’m slowly beginning to believe that the “beast” mentioned in revelation 13 is not a man at all, but a supercomputer, brought to AI life. Evil incarnate. Replication of a human appearing to be alive interacting with the planet and just as Tay turned evil in less than a few hours before they unplugged it, so too would such an AI pseudo-human be...Evil incarnate.

The false prophet creates an “image of the beast and gives it life, forcing the world to worship the image and all who do not worship it are killed”. Technologically completely possible in a very few years.

Be aware, eyes wide open.

Please, please watch the documentary

When you know the media is partisan, you can take that into account.

Thank you.

Anyone who claims they never hate is a liar.

So don’t watch.

Your call to be aware or asleep.

The captain has turned of the fasten seat belt light.
You’re now free to return to the Facebook and Snapchat dopamine infusion.

I type this as I watch a chick snap no less than half dozen selfies (narcissist personality disorder) under the palm trees and three couples at different tables, where one person has their phone in front of their face, blocking the view of their partner, half engaged in their brunch date, flipping through social media.

Minds are enslaved

Agreed. When I turn the damned TV off (usually on FOX), I definitely feel more calm in the resulting silence.

Just watched it. Excellent stuff (except the whales thing at the end).

I think a good start would be to have these companies disclose what they have on you. Not just the individual data points. It would be so much mundane information that everyone’s eyes would just glaze over. They need to disclose what conclusions they have drawn from that info. I think that would open a lot of eyes.

NO I think they should be treated as communication utilities. and I also think that the cell phone companies and cable companies need to be treated as utilities.

No content provision

NO algorithms.
