Every day of my life trying to explain to friends they need to quit using spoon fed software. Sigh.
And spoonfed news, food..
I think we can make an exception for soup and ice-cream, no?
NO SOUP FOR YOU! NEXT!
Haha totally, I should have said processed food, it's the most marketed.
We could also say ultra processed news now that I think about it: statistical data -> random blog article misinterprets the charts -> tweet w people not reading the sources -> screenshot goes around on facebook -> LLM regurgitates it -> TV news anchor says it with a straight face
You forgot the step of "presidential candidate quotes the Facebook post in a presidential debate"
Exactly why on so many things it's like... even when it looks like they are getting it, they don't get it. Kind of like watching bluesky rising right now. Unless I'm majorly missing something here. It looks like it's kind of open and kind of federated...
Except in a form that no one can feasibly create their own node. One change in leadership or goals of leadership away, and it can turn into the same neo nazi trash that people are joining it to get away from.
And it will. Capitalism makes it inevitable.
That's a new one. I like it.
