#informationoverload — Public Fediverse posts

@UnconventionalEmma Let me know how you get on with it ... I use my own lashed together ad hoc "thingy", so I'd be interested to hear of your experiences.

Note that it requires work, both to put things in, and to maintain the order. You can lapse and then recover, but it's not "effort-free".

But mine has proven to be extremely effective.

Good luck ... let me know!

As AI systems grow more capable, so does the pressure they place on people and organisations. Our research in the OMINO project proposes a taxonomy of seven types of AI overload. We explore how increasing AI agency is creating entirely new challenges for human–AI collaboration.

We know enough to be worried. We understand enough to see the pattern. We care enough to be affected.

But we do not have enough power to feel agency.

Our new essay is about that gap: between awareness and agency, information and orientation, witnessing and repair.

We can stay closely informed and still find that the overall picture does not quite come together.

Events, reactions, interpretations, corrections - all appearing together, without the structure that once made them easier to grasp.

This piece looks at that shift directly: at what has changed in the space between access and understanding.

In this era of information overload, censorship works by drowning us in too much undifferentiated information, crippling our ability to focus. These dumps, combined with the news media's obsession with campaign trivia and gossip, have resulted in whistle-drowning, rather than whistle-blowing: In a sea of so many whistles blowing so loud, we cannot hear a single one.
-- Zeynep Tufekci (NYT Nov. 4, 2016)

Look away?

How do you cope with what’s in the news every day?

I’m constantly torn between looking away and trying to understand more about what’s really happening. There’s a kind of dark fascination in watching the depths we’re seeing in the US right now.

Science Is Drowning in AI Slop

...musste, seine "vulkanische Hälfte", die im Urzustand "viel stärker als die Menschen" von ihren Gefühlen dominiert wird, zu kontrollieren. Dies geschah durch eine Methodisierung der Logik.

Was du und andere neurodivergente schildern, kling *dem Grunde nach* nicht unähnlich, zumindest für mich.

Waarom RSS er nog steeds toe doet (en ook jij RSS zou moeten gebruiken)
RSS vormt de basis van hoe veel mensen online informatie consumeren. Toch is het een vaak onzichtbare standaard. Ben Werdmuller betoogt dat deze open standaard niet alleen relevant blijft, maar belangrijker wordt in een digitaal landschap waarin platforms content afschermen en AI-systemen content hergebruiken. #rss #informationcuration #informationoverload

Academic #InformationOverload hitting the news.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/06/ai-research-papers

“[T]he problem was too much information. The population was being inundated with conflicting versions of increasingly complex events. People were giving up on understanding anything. The glut of information was dulling awareness, not aiding it. Overload. It encouraged passivity, not involvement.”
― Jerry Mander
