One of my favorite technical writers is @SwiftOnSecurity precisely because of the amount of care and detail they put into their humor.

People have taken to asking me about "nightmare magic math" directly, without checking if i'm in on the joke first, because it's that pervasive.

If you don't embrace your own weirdness, it will come across as sterile or impersonal. Corporate speak. Or, if you try to force it, it will sound like AI slop. Which is perfect for middle management, I suppose.

"we recently paid people a few dollars to unfollow the most divisive accounts on X. After a month, they felt 23% less animosity towards other political groups.

"Their experience was so positive that half declined to refollow those hostile accounts after the study and they felt less animosity 11 months later.

"Platforms could easily redesign their algorithms to stop promoting the most outrageous voices and prioritize more representative or nuanced content."

Only a small percentative of people engage in toxic activity online, but they’re responsible for a disproportionate share of hostile or misleading content on nearly every platform. | Jay Van Bavel, PhD

Only a small percentative of people engage in toxic activity online, but they’re responsible for a disproportionate share of hostile or misleading content on nearly every platform. Because super-users are so active, they dominate our collective impression of the internet. Much of that distortion can be traced back to a few hyperactive online voices -Just 10% of users produce roughly 97% of political tweets. -A mere 0.1% of users share 80% of fake news. This leads many of us to believe that society is more polarized, angry, & deluded than it really is. The problem isn’t just the individual extremists, of course – it’s the platform design and algorithms that amplify their content. These algorithms are built to maximize engagement, which means they privilege content that is surprising or divisive. The system is optimized to promote the users who are most likely to distort our shared perception of reality. Most of us aren’t spending time on our phones trolling our foes. We’re busy working, raising families, spending time with friends, or simply trying to find some harmless entertainment on the internet. Yet, our voices are drowned out. We have effectively handed over a megaphone to the most obnoxious people and let them tell us what to believe and how to act. In a series of experiments, we recently paid people a few dollars to unfollow the most divisive accounts on X. After a month, they felt 23% less animosity towards other political groups. Their experience was so positive that half declined to refollow those hostile accounts after the study and they felt less animosity 11 months later. Platforms could easily redesign their algorithms to stop promoting the most outrageous voices and prioritize more representative or nuanced content. The internet is a powerful, and often valuable tool. But if we keep letting it reflect only the funhouse mirror world created by the most extreme users, we’ll all suffer the consequences.

My heartfelt thanks to all of you who use AltText to add descriptions to your pics and media. As someone who used to be able to see but has been blind for over 30 years now, it allows me to see the pic in my mind and is greatly appreciated and allows me to enjoy them.

Another heartfelt thanks to those who use #CamelCase in their hashtags. This makes it so much easier to understand with a screen reader and for those who read print as well! ❤️

Someone spent months "generating a book" in ChatGPT and then discovered it hadn't actually created anything.

Lasst mich raten, IT-Konzerne belasten Developer von Werkzeugen, die sie Täglich selber nutzen. Was ist daran intelligent oder gar künstlerisch?

Wo ich mir gerade so die ganzen Ausgaben für diesen Monat so angucke, fällt mir ein das ich mal wieder zum #Spenden für radiosocial.de aufrufen könnte. Ist ja auch schon wieder ein halbes Jahr her.
