I think, before anyone starts talking about how this part or that part of culture has taken a left turn, about how "they've" weaponised this or that, or point out the obvious mind control of social media, they need to read the works of Marshall McLuhan. Even just reading The Media is the Message, will solve so much of what you find puzzling or confusing. McLuhan foresaw all of this shit show and lays it out clearly and succinctly.

I find the only question I am left with, is how is the myth of Cassandra still not seen as a lesson until after the fact?

Social media’s “infinite scroll” was meant to simplify browsing, but its inventor now says it fuels harmful engagement loops. Recent jury verdicts against Meta and Google focused on design choices—not content—and could reshape how platforms handle attention, safety, and kids’ mental health. #TechEthics #SocialMedia #DesignChoices

The Guardian | Porn, dog poo and social media snaps: the ‘taskers’ scraping the internet for Meta-owned AI firm by Aisha Down

Scale AI gig workers describe desperation of using people’s personal profiles and copyrighted work to train AI

Tens of thousands of people have been paid by a company part-owned by Meta to train AI by combing Instagram accounts, harvesting copyrighted work and transcribing pornographic soundtracks, the Guardian can reveal.

Scale AI, 49%-controlled by Mark Zuckerberg’s social media empire, has recruited experts across fields such as medicine, physics and economics – putatively to refine top-level artificial intelligence systems through a platform called Outlier. “Become the expert that AI learns from,” it says on its site, advertising flexible work for people with strong credentials.
