I know one study found that 51% of summaries that AI produced for them contained significant errors. So AI-summaries are bad news for anyone who hopes to be well informed. source https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0m17d8827ko

Indigenous people: saving the rest of us from ourselves.

Yes, the likes of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk have identified those characteristics as interfering with their dark ambitions. They seem to be behind the campaign to change hearts and minds for the worse.

There is definitely a serious societal problem. There is a parenting crisis leading to a peer-attachment crisis. And our communities reflect it. As another commenter mentioned, we need to relearn to have some empathy in our consciousness so we can provide healthy psychological attachments.

This has nothing to do with opinions and everything to do with facts.

Edit: I see someone made a similar reply at the same times as me. I didn’t mean to spam reply the same thing as someone else.

And a story like this happening right outside their door.

I agree. I’m not thinking about USA at all.

As for the EU, we should fund a federated or decentralised system. I think it works well on Lemmy. For example I know not to trust feddit.org for anything related to Palestine. Content on other servers shows their pro-Israel bias.

I think a system like that could benefit the US to a point, at least until the government block all external news and commentary.

You’re right 🤦🏻‍♂️

I had no idea. You’re right. It was a $15B business in 2019. https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/3/21121207/youtube-google-alphabet-earnings-revenue-first-time-reveal-q4-2019

Makes the ads seem even more obscene now that I know that.

I think it’s running it at a loss too. But there’s no reason these platforms couldn’t be publicly owned.

Should we start advertising cigarettes again so? Because that went really well! /s

That would be so good if they had a competent author.

Circumstances, adverse childhood experiences, can be huge factors. Experiments have shown mice choose to give up heroin for better living conditions, for example. It doesn’t mean that addiction doesn’t exist within us too. And that biological something needs a name.

Really interesting and specific, thank you. Interestingly I saw a parent online talking about how she plays the cartoons her kids watch at .75 speed. They were stressing her out and she probably suspected it wasn’t good for her kids either.

It’s possible, the first example in the linked video is of a young kid who has become addicted to YouTube. The content seems benign: animated nursery rhymes. But that case is presented with less detail on the exact usage. I’m curious what you’ll make of it. I’m halfway through.

Okay. I updated my original comment.

“It is unclear whether the technology staves off mental decline, or whether people with better cognitive skills simply use them more.”

It’s very early stages of the research then. In my experience elderly people use smartphones very differently to kids. Also, their personal development has past the formative stages so I imagine the devices cause less disruption.

There’s no doubt that they ruin the brains and lives of our kids though, as the research video posted on Lemmy.world recently makes clear.

Edit: Here it is. Brain scans show that screen addiction is the same as drug addiction as far as development of brain pathway changes and brain chemistry are concerned. Only difference is we haven’t had addicts this young and at this scale before. Memory, empathy, cognition and impulsivity are all impacted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ViT6LyLm6E

USA are searching people’s phones for signs of criticism of government policy. They are detaining and deporting people (even citizens). China is not the sole bogeyman you think it is.

Nice catch. It seems to be Windows only on GOG but cross platform on Steam.
