Soziale Medien ohne das Soziale.

Instagram Reels and the New Era of Desocialized Media

Platforms built to connect people, for better or for worse, are now for doing the opposite, writes technology columnist John Herrman.

Morning paradox:

when the algorithm makes your book successful —

but your books are about algorithms and AI and how they’re being used against us -

should you celebrate and keep writing cautionary tales about algorithms and AI…

or should you be just a little paranoid
about what the algorithm sees in you?

#Algorithmicculture, driven by machines, is increasingly #influencing our #dailylives and shaping our #culturallandscape. While this offers #convenience and new #possibilities, it also raises #concerns about the erosion of #humancreativity and the potential for #AIcontent to dominate. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/09/01/ai-is-coming-for-culture?eicker.news #tech #media #news
A.I. Is Coming for Culture

We’re used to algorithms guiding our choices. But when machines can effortlessly generate the content we consume, Joshua Rothman asks, what’s left for the human imagination?

The New Yorker

"…part of the “structures of feeling” regarding #algorithms is that they seem to foreground the importance of the individual—going so far as to surveil them personally.
This felt experience reverses the core principle of #algorithmicCulture, which is to be opaque in their operations and treat human subjects as externally manipulable objects…
in the funhouse mirror of #ideology, algorithms appear to cater to #individualism and personal caprice."
