I have such mixed feelings about the TikTok ban. On one hand, it's so "no one let's us have fun anymore". But on the other it's "of course you think your brain is the most important organ. Look who is giving you this information". Can't we have a TikTok that isn't a tool for Chinese propaganda? But then, so much social media is being used for all kinds of propaganda that it's impossible to tell anymore. Case in point = X/Twitter. Disinformation wins when we can't tell what information is anymore.
this is very true and gets at general, say, regulation of *all* social media which is what we really, really need. this isn't a novel idea but making these platforms more egalitarian too, transforming them into services versus products, would definitely help with that. here's hoping change comes!!
Try linking AI fantasy to the government, etc. and watch what happens. Makes sense right? AI can be cheddar hot dogs and mayonnaise cake, as long as America can swing its digital dick in China's face. No worries though. There's a book called Meganets which details how out of control the internet has become. So AI might end up a tool of the people, much like TikTok was as recently as October.
now THIS is something and very true and...i really don't want to connect AI with the government but now i have to and cannot not do that. i do think...there's going to maybe be a lot of, say, friendly fire of confusion from "all this" that can in lot of ways undo and defang government items. granted, confusion rarely advances anything but that seems like the main "response" to AI. also i'm adding meganets to my reading list!!!
