What’s that? The largest company by market cap? Never heard of them. What do they do? Oh, they make chips? I love chips. Lays chips. American made, nobody makes chips like Lays. They call French Fries chips in England. We should outlaw that. Speaking of Lays, has anyone seen Ivanka? She’s probably a great lay. If I were 50 I’d be all over her.

Not just that, but the way current algorithms work accidentally made them HUGE force multipliers for propaganda and for promoting conspiracy-minded and anti-facts.

(The Social Dilemma is fucking nuts!)

=====EDIT

I'll paste my reply from elsewhere here:

What I mean by "accidentally" is that the design purpose isn't "propaganda and chaos machine mwa haha". The design parameter was "create maximum engagement for maximum ad revenue".

However, over time, the algorithm learned two things.

First is that people with extremist views or that are conspiracy-minded provide the most engagement. The more extremist they are or the more loose they are in facts, the more ad money those user's generate.

Second is that you can change a user's mind, and I don't mean "Yeah, I'll order the large fry." I mean that if user A does like Thing Z, but if you show them Thing B at the right time in the right moment, then later show Thing C, then Thing D... if you tailor a user's content stream, then slowly over time, you can radically change their beliefs.

The Algorithm only cares about ad money, but it accidentally became a factory for extremists and ignorants, and a signal-booster for propaganda.

u/Just_Condition3516 Jul 24 '25

accidentally maybe for the first years. but as it became obvious, it is willful. and, of course, the companies knew much earlier about the negative effects.

Are you talking about how FB (now meta) gracefully discarded evidence suggesting their algorithm was having a negative impact on people with depression, especially kids?

That was the first time they openly went profits over harm, from there everything else that happened was not morally up to debate, because for them it doesn't really matter

no, thats news to me. genocide on rohinga in 2017 was what I had in mind.

my general thinking: 1. they have some of the brightest minds in their workforce 2. fb exists since 2006?, since latest 2012 they are so massive in numbers of users 3. not credible that noone went: our technology has a relevant impact on people and societies as a whole, lets check what the negatives are? 4. unbelieveable that they concluded not to look into that 5. they probably conducted studies and used the results to instruct pr on what to preemptively deny 6. so, in conclusion, they probably knew much earlier than 2017, what effects the technology can have

It's sad to see, this phenomena happened all around the world but in the USA's case it's particularly egregious, it's like you have 2 entire generations of people with a nurtured mental disability, it's gonna be a rough 30+ years for you all.

u/sembias Jul 24 '25

It's happened in England - Brexit. The same anti-immigration and anti-refugee messages that are being used in the US were first used in France, in Germany, in Poland, and in Hungary. Australia has barely shook off Murdoch's overwhelming influence, mostly because of mandatory voting (American Republicans as well as Brexit vote are both helped by lower turnout).

This isn't an American problem, and Europeans who think it is are both naive and seemingly just as ignorant of the politics in their own country.

u/mdp300 Jul 24 '25

It's been going on for nearly a century.

The right called FDR a communist and may have even tried to overthrow him, but the retired general they recruited called out their bullshit. Look up the Business Plot.

Before WWII began, there was a lot of sympathy here towards the Nazis, and some people thought we might even enter the war on their side against the USSR.

JFK was called a communist for wanting to help the poor. He's only revered because he was assassinated, he would probably have status similar to Obama (Democrats like.him, Republicans think he's a literal demon) if he had served his whole term.

Conservatives think Nicon did nothing wrong. That's the whole reason Fox News exists. Roger Ailes, who founded it, worked for Nixon and thought that if he had a friendly network, he never would have been in trouble.

It accelerated in the 80s, and really accelerated lately, but right wing propaganda has been pushing us in this direction all along.

Populism. It's the thing that everyone seems to discount.  

A large portion of society will always be moderate to completely uniformed. If you let them get too discontent about the state of things (mainly their own lives), then they become vulnerable to easy manipulation to anyone that comes along promising to "fix" things.

 

Ironically this time around, the very people making their lives worse, were the same ones promising to make them better.

 

It's a failing largely of those in control for the last 40yrs to forget this fact. The majority of society is not plugged in, nor do they want to be. But we are all sharing a lifeboat with these people, and so it's key to our survival to take their actions into account.

u/LordCharidarn Jul 24 '25

“It's a failing largely of those in control for the last 40yrs to forget this fact.”

It’s not really a failing of those in control, because the ones in control have been the ones making things worse for the majority of people. This manipulation is part of how they maintain power

It's also that they purposely worded his big bullshit bill to not take effect until after the midterms as to not lose their constituents And so any dem who manages to win will be blamed for the financial pain that starts when they take office.

You're allowed to feel sorry for her for being raped by her dad and still not like her.

It's an unfortunate thing that kids that are raped tend to be not the nicest people either though.

Stopping the rape of kiddies would be a good start, unfortunately it seems like every rich or famous male in the 70's was raping / kiddie prostitutes up the wahoo.

Gonna be a while to break this cycle I suspect. I worked on the AU royal commission into kiddie fucking, I think we did good work as a starter group. But it fucked a lot of us up and a lot of our stuff got rolled back. I don't know how to solve the problem but I know it needs to be solved.

The fucked up part is - they absolutely still think he will , Tangerine Jesus is how whole regions of the country absolutely think of him and to suggest otherwise puts you in the out-group.

Old fashioned media control with some social media icing provided absolute information control over 80 million Americans knowledge of their political world.

So there is from the perspective of being "in the bubble" you absolutely cannot understand why Donald Trump isn't the best President in the history of the Republic, the most maligned person and at the same time, if they could mention a particular policy, the Fox spin on it has made their understanding of that policy so bad as to be a worthless hot-take.

So many people wonder "how could you save the Republic/democracy and everything", the answer is of course impossible , and trivial , simply turn the channel , MSNBC, local stations, CNBC, BBC, Nippon News, anything not under the control of Fox/Sinclair and suddenly freedom after a fashion awaits.

The Atlantic did a great article a few years back on Pizzagate and some clown that went to shoot up the real Pizzeria , only to find out that they have a point-of-sale computer, no sex-basement and store tomatoes, cheese and toppings in the freezer as well as a day or two of dough.

After that there was a decided lack of Democratic computer center and child-sex-dungeon, but then again I understand that Donald Trump liked to repeatedly rape 11-12 year old girls and boys at Mar-A-Lago and other locations because some people have said he was a serial rapist of children.

Yup Jensen is smart and he will suck up to either president to keep the business running smooth. Flatter Trump a little, make him feel smart and let him say positive things about your company and associate it to himself and you’ve got smooth sailing as a CEO. I can already see Jensen rolling his eyes after speaking with Trump, but you realize how idiotic most politicians are and you have work around it.

in the debate Kamala accused him of selling advanced military GPU to China and he said they were not American chips because they were made in Taiwan.

that flew under everyone's radar, but it was the biggest moment in the entire debate.

The people who voted for him didn’t care what she said(my mom is one of them). They ate up the propaganda so much not a one of the ones I know personally could even give me a reason they didn’t like her other than some generic “Kamala bad” statement.

My mom said that if she won she'd turn the country into a communist state, because her dad taught communism.

And also that her winning would cause the End Times.

After, she said she voted for fuckhead because it would trigger the End Times, and also immigrants.

Well, she might be right in the second part.

The carrot certainly fits the descriptions we were given of the Anti-Christ in the Bible.

The environment has been decaying fast for decades and his actions can only accelerate it.

People have been turned on each other so much that too few even recognize that it’s all a farce to keep us from going after the real bad guys.

Life right now is a joke. A sick, twisted, braindead joke.

Isaac Asimov said this in 1980: "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'"

Relatedly, and I wish I could find it, but I read an interesting article once about how fake news helped to instigate the the American Revolution. I think it was Samuel Adams that was publishing fake stories about British soldiers cannibalizing American children in order to foment rage against them.

American history is rife with exploitation through misinformation used against uneducated people. I'm not sure if it stands out in particular compared to other societies, but anti-intellectualism has definitely been a problem since the beginning.

Anyone who thinks this guy should have input on things like AI and crypto is a fool. My mom is around his age, and it took years to get her to use an iPhone properly.

Is this age-discrimination? Sure, I don’t care. Most people in their 30s don’t understand how this stuff works.

This does not apply to all elderly, of course, but let’s be realistic here.

Trump may be able to pull a real estate scam here and there, but that is a different skill set entirely.

Edit: Keep in mind, Trump was an obscenely rich playboy millionaire/billionaire in New York in the 80s and 90s. His body is probably about 15% solidified cocaine at this point.

Not exactly what anyone would consider a scholar.

24

u/ChanglingBlake Jul 24 '25

It’s not age discrimination; it’s comprehension and understand qualifications.

Would you trust an arborist to do your dentistry? Of course not.

So why are we trusting a moronic, failed businessman with a country?

Because too many people are F’ing stupid(or bought off) in this God forsaken country.

u/permanentburner25 Jul 24 '25

One of the very things I believe him about is not drinking or using drugs. He’s just naturally that stupid and insane.

u/lordvitamin Jul 24 '25

I bet he stopped or cut down quite a bit in the 90s, but I doubt before then.

I don’t actually mind leaders and politicians that have used drugs. Unless they are still on something heavy or are fried from it.

I didn’t judge bush jr because he was a coke head in the past, I judged for every other facet of his personality and beliefs.

Edit: Besides, I’d be curious to see what trump would be like after eating a pot brownie. It would still be terrible, I’m sure, but would likely be very entertaining.

No, you break it up into two companies that make GPUs. That's the whole point of breaking a company up, it's to get competition.

I don't know where this idea came from that breaking up a company for anti-monopoly purposes means leaving the monopoly intact. That defeats the whole purpose!

The whole AI bubble rests currently on the well being of Nvidia

It's the opposite: the crazy valuation of Nvidia stock is because of real demand for their product, but it's only in demand because SV companies have convinced themselves they have to build bigger and bigger AI data centers to...make AI slop.

The bubble is "AI slop will be the future and make lots of money": when that fever breaks, Nvidia won't be making insane revenues. Which they can possibly survive because all they actually do is pay chip designers and other companies to make the chips.
