There is a venn diagram of "We need to believe that AI can develop a real consciousness," "I now adhere to a truly bizarre health routine" and "I need all the money possible and I need it just for me," and at the center of it is "I am terrified of dying and I don't know how to fix that"

Good demo of the anti-vax-to-transphobia pipeline that's evolved since 2023, when COVID denialists had to shift their rhetoric to maintain their audiences.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.
