Published 2025 but maybe already outdated? The rapid advance of AI and the fundamental shifts to our (increasingly hyperpersonalized) information environment, we might have to revisit this sooner than expected.
Are you in an echo chamber or stuck in your own information cocoon?
In a recent paper co-written by our @risius.bsky.social, they unpack the difference and why it matters for how we consume information.
