Bra text! "Att vĂ€rna sin personliga integritet Ă€r alltsĂ„ nĂ„got som anses vara misstĂ€nksamt. Det sĂ€ger en hel del om dagens samhĂ€lle." đ
Jag har bara lite svÄrt med lÀsflödet med anledning av typsnittet.

@elbowspeak Thank you )oshua.
@Mabande
That one I hadn't read, though I read several similar ones in 2017. Thank you for sharing. It's hard to read but necessary. They are sharing their story with a hope for change to happen... and it's so difficult to fathom how long change takes.
I'm imagining a catch 22 wherein people aren't able to even read about it and hence it falls into invisibility and the trauma continues...
@arpcomics
Agree. My worries are primarily about the klout that the person has and how they are influencing a younger generation who look up to them (and learn from them).
My worries may be misplaced as it's not unlikely that the younger generation can see right through this.
@kolombiken Oh wow, that one was new to me.
@lennart
A very human reaction. đ
@m
> How do we know it isn't an AI that is doing the debunking? Mmm? Mmm?
I was hoping someone would make that point, as I thought it as well when writing đ
This could be true, in which case we are already screwed. But if I concede to that being true my existence (and self-awareness) becomes largely irrelevant. So I can just keep playing the game to keep feeling some sort of sense of autonomy. According to the wishes of the AI harvesting me for energy. đ„Ž
> On a more serious note [âŠ]
Agree. We can no longer trust much by way of future content. Small networks of people will become very important. Time to get my ham radio licenseâŠ
Trustworthiness of stories has always been iffy, but a big change is that those with the most money and power can control the âtruthâ by their ability to flood our feeds with content.
@uastronomer
That is disheartening.

Helt fast i detta tĂ€nk nu. đŹ KĂ€nner att jag vill lĂ€sa en bok om hur sekter skapas. MĂ„nga paralleller att dra kĂ€nns det som. LĂ€gger till denna till sommarens lista nu.

@dinkompismia Ha, exakt!
@dinkompismia
Ăven âhehetsbildâ mĂ„ste förstĂ„s ifrĂ„gasĂ€ttas. SĂ„ mĂ„nga felaktiga förestĂ€llningar i allt detta. Inte minst sjĂ€lva begreppet AIâŠ
Jag förstÄr att mÀnniskor inte har tid att sÀtta sig in i detta, men att sÄ mÄnga Àr villiga att acceptera magiskt tÀnkande Àr frustrerande. Jag lÀgger viss skuld pÄ den övergripande kÀnslan av hopplöshet som förmedlas av makthavare. Och decennier av science-fiction filmer. Kanske Àr det skapandet av en ny religion vi bevittnar.
@dinkompismia
Det Ă€r nog det dĂ€r som skrĂ€mmer mig mest. Att sĂ„ mĂ„nga tror att maskinerna pĂ„ nĂ„got sĂ€tt Ă€r fristĂ„ende frĂ„n mĂ€nniskor. Att âbĂ€stâ ens kan vara en gemensam sanningâŠ
@dinkompismia Ja jag blir mer och mer intresserad av att kartlÀgga alla vÀrderingar, förmÄgor och relationer vi vÀljer att ge upp eller ersÀtta.
@kolombiken Thank you! So glad you enjoy them. đ
And completely understand about the time it may take to read. đ
@sintrenton Very cool! Thank you for introducing me to this.
@isotopp I've done the same since. a few years but feel it's helping less and less. I believe I will just have to delete most apps as well.
@lebout2canap
đ Do you keep one in your pocket, or several in different places for easy access?
@Beantin
Great storytelling! đ
