I need husband: AI beauty standards, fascism and the proliferation of bot driven content
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00146-025-02491-8

This paper by @minxdragon is well written, IMHO. It draws together observations on a range of topics and contemporary social/political trends that may appear on superficial examination to be unconnected. This research does an excellent job of digging deeper, and revealing their interconnected nature, and the underlying mechanisms and motivations at play.

"I wanted to see if interacting with AI slop on Facebook would have a similar effect. To that end I created a Facebook account and liked the pages responsible for the “I need a Husband” posts. I started seeing signs of alt-right content within 24 h and in less than a week the account was algorithmically served pornographic posts, misogyny, racism, military AI slop and religious propaganda. I particularly noticed the chain letter style of Christianity posts, with a white AI Jesus imploring viewers to like, comment, share and subscribe to the videos to receive blessings and wealth."

It's come to a point where so many around me fall down the #AltRightPipeline that I am lost for words. I'm exhausted.

Especially when it's clear that these people know nothing about #political #history, yet claim they know what's right.

The whole adage "those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" really doesn't mean anything to them.

Either that, or their political compass is divined solely by the feels...

It's the last one, isn't it?

Anyone got an island I can move to?

Asking mostly because I'm worried about my father, but is #AstralCodexTen a part of the #AltRightPipeline? I've read a lot of the guy's early stuff (pre-2019) and it was really interesting, but the more recent (2020-2023) stuff feels icky, and I can't put my finger on why
