Set aside an hour or so and listen to this Sam Harris talk about social media manipulation and more with information researcher Renée DiResta. Seriously, do it.
https://samharris.org/podcasts/145-information-war/ Interview proper starts at about 10:18. |

I have a face recognition AI with plenty of data, but now want to build age progression extrapolation algorithms, able to identify people with only a limited number of images from when they were younger. How can I gather the images, and QA them for accuracy to train the algorithm as fast as possible?
I know, ask the millions of users to post "then and now" images themselves!

In the age of 99.999% data retention policies, and decentralised data storage powered by blockchain, this is what the world needs:

How do we do that without also doing what upsets us in this thread?

How do we stop using this toxic generation of white American male social media apps without letting the NZ Labour Party hastily revise free speech law?
|

Oh my mistake. I thought you didn't like impinging on free speech. What you mean is you don't like that change coming about "hastily".
Is that what I've missed? Cause otherwise, I don't see the difference.

Aren't we lucky that such articles weren't written about the V2 Rocket before NASA got hold of the technology. No one -- not even a mexican, transgender, dwarf, double amputee -- could have envisioned what a weaponised social media platform looks like. So now that we've looked the devil right in the eyes, can we not adapt the technology for the betterment of humanity? Like we've done before. At least it's easier to say "Thank you Dorsey, Zuckerberg for getting us this far" than it is to say "Thank you, Nazis"

Also: Facebook are Panasonic Freeze-Ray's biggest customer.
Freeze-Ray is a cloud based optical storage solution based on Blu-Ray, which once written to, is there forever. It's designed for "write once, ready many" applications, which allows customers (like Facebook), to keep data forever, for the sole purpose of having an infallible archive of everything ever captured (by Facebook). https://www.pcworld.com/article/3019...e-systems.html

nope, that can't be true, because posts to Facebook get mistakenly deleted due to technical errors even when they're by the CEO of the company. Facebook said so.

Yeah, it's pretty shocking. A good/terrible experiment is to watch a few videos of bikini models and see how long it takes for YouTube to recommend child bikini models.

Remember when everybody used to say that social media is great because when there's a disaster or a big news event, social media disseminates onformation quicker than traditional news media?
Shyeah.

Our basic understanding of the social media advertising algorithms is that they learn what we like and show us ads about those things. Turns out that's wrong. The algorithms have worked out that it's easier to monetise your eyeballs if you are a predictable person. Predictable people are easier to target because the AIs can, obviously, more effectively predict what you'll respond to. People with extreme views are more predictable than moderate people. Moderate people change their minds, but extremists are set in their ways. So the algorithms have worked out the most efficient way of maximising ad revenue: turn people into extremists. Because then they're more predictable and thus represent a greater potential return on investment. It's not that the AIs are working out what we like and are changing the ads; the AIs are working out how to change our brains to make us more likely to click. Shame that it took the end of the EU and NATO and a few epidemics and some ethnic cleansing before anyone thought to think about other consequences. See: "reinforcement learning" |
