Something from my pre- TrumpVirus era days of study and research...

... within the worlds of #psychology, #SocialMedia, and #FAD / #addiction to #Facebook, computers, whatever, plus social pressure and #FOMO etc - these days I'd say, #screens

I rarely respond to the stream of info and misinfo I see on X nee #Twitter, but caught this post (also on PBS NewsHours) about this and other AG's who are collectively taking on a suit against our old friend #Facebook (about which I spent years observing, since it began)

But I just happen to have this big compilation of research and also fun-poking at the era of #ScreenAddiction (and PTSD)

... I really didn't understand how these AI tools worked at the time. I thought it was more human. That it was learning.

Lies. All of it. It's a stochastic parrot. No learning is going on. It's guessing based off the billions of parameters it has ingested.

Soziale Netzwerke: Angst, etwas zu verpassen?

"Gerade Plattformen wie Facebook, Instagram oder Twitter würden die Angst vor dem Zurückbleiben besonders fördern. Dabei sollen diese Dienste ja im Gegenteil dabei helfen, den Kontakt zu Mitmenschen zu erleichtern, einander auf dem Laufenden zu halten und am Leben der anderen teilzuhaben - auch über grössere Distanzen hinweg."

"Das macht die Informationsfülle sozialer Netzwerke zu einem zweischneidigen Schwert. Denn die Lebenszeit ist begrenzt; zwangsläufig werden wir immer wieder tolle Ereignisse verpassen."

"Nicht nur Smartphone-Werbung arbeitet mit diesem Motiv. (...) Büchertitel bauen Druck auf, etwa '1000 places to see before you die' oder '1000 Filme, die man gesehen haben muss' - Vorgaben, an denen man fast zwangsläufig scheitert."
