Toxicity on Social Media – The Noisy Room

스탠포드 연구진은 소셜미디어에서 극단적이고 독성 높은 콘텐츠를 게시하는 소수의 사용자가 전체 콘텐츠의 상당 부분을 차지하며, 알고리즘이 이들의 콘텐츠를 증폭시켜 다수 사용자의 의견이 묻히는 현상을 발견했다. 이로 인해 다수는 침묵하거나 플랫폼을 떠나고, 소수는 자신이 다수라고 착각하며, 정치적 오해와 적대감이 심화된다. 연구는 이러한 인식 왜곡을 완화하기 위해 '커뮤니티 체크' 같은 공개적 오해 교정 도구를 제안하며, 이를 통해 사회적 적대감 감소와 여론 왜곡 해소가 가능함을 시사한다. 이는 AI 기반 소셜미디어 알고리즘과 사용자 행동 분석, 그리고 사회적 인식 개선에 중요한 시사점을 제공한다.

Caffeine

Interesting on how the corpus humanus works when dozed with caffeine

Informative this read is for me on the pages of

• Caffeine_toxicity
• Caffeine-induced_sleep_disorder

Caffeine is considered one of the most widely consumed drugs around the world. Around 80% of the world population consumes caffeine in one form or another.[3] It is found in coffee, tea, caffeinated alcoholic drinks, cocoa, chocolate, soft drinks, especially cola, and is an important component of energy drinks and other dietary supplements.[2]

Interesting fact

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, caffeine overdose can result in a state of excessive stimulation of the central nervous system and the essential feature of caffeine intoxication is the recent consumption of caffeine. This diagnosis requires the presence of at least five signs or symptoms, from a list of 12, that develop during or shortly after caffeine use.[8] This syndrome regularly happens when a person ingested large amounts of caffeine from any source (e.g., more than 400–500 mg at a time).

Expected fact

Caffeine is an adenosine receptor antagonist. This means that caffeine mainly works by occupying adenosine receptors in the brain, specifically, receptors that influence sleep, arousal, and cognition.[1] Once it is in the body, caffeine will persist for several hours, and takes about six hours for one half of the caffeine consumed to be eliminated. When caffeine reaches the brain, it increases the secretion of norepinephrine which is related to the "fight or flight" response. The rise in norepinephrine levels increases activity of neurons in areas of the brain and the symptoms resemble those of a panic attack.[10]
