  1. Bill Gates: What's Next EP 2 watched. It's about misinformation, social media and algorithms.

    Some quotes:

    "You can just say to algorithms, yeah give me more of that. I keep scrolling, because I won't be manipulated."

    "I am a believer of more decentralized content moderation where users have more control rather than Zuckerberg or others decide these are the policies and then apply them to 2 billion people."

    "If I could say 'I want to see content from both sides, don't label me as left', or 'I don't want to see this, I want to see that', I wish I could play around with it, that would be fun."

    Well... The obliviousness continues. There is the Fediverse, but no open and healthy way of consuming the Internet is ever even considered, even when it's slightly discussed. Why are everyone so locked in to the commercial social medias if they don't like how it operates? Money and fame I guess.

    It's like they are watching the house burn from a fire truck ready to put out the flames. Makes no sense.

  3. I'm watching The Future With Bill Gates documentary on Netflix. In the episode about AI the OpenAI folks proudly present their work.

    "These models were not possible before we started putting so much content online."

    They blatantly answer to a question "So what is the data it's trained on?":"It's trained on the Internet. The actual answer is we don't entirely know.", but we do though! It's trained on the content you and I create! You just fucking said it two sentences before.

    People are so oblivious in this doc. Like this is the best thing ever. Yes, it's new and magical. But at what cost?
