I am still raging at the loss of google play music. Instead, I have to deal with youtube music which defaults to the algorithm after I listen to an album. I do not want to listen to a algorithmic feed, I want to listen to the album on repeat!

My entire feed was nothing but lists of dems who caved and calls for Schumer's head the moment the vote was handed down
Silver just hasn't realized that Bsky isn't algorithmic and he's only seeing the people HE chose to follow, which apparently is people talking about nothing but Sydney Sweeny

Proof (if we needed it) that algorithmic amplification is dramatically accelerating, and perhaps even driving, the unravelling of our democracies.
Fixing the problem means tackling the algorithms themselves, not just trying - and failing - to address the harms they cause.

I know it's not news that FB is a cesspool of right wing bullshit and AI slop, but this intensification of FB's algorithmic promotion of Nazi propaganda is quite disturbing in terms of the permission structure it's creating for users who consume "conservative" content.

The exciting insights that I've been gaining from the cozy core community is so valuable. We see more creators retreat from the parasocial relationships, performance pressure, moderation failures and, algorithmic struggles all in favor of building private communities.

I'd rather accomplish nothing under my own power than rely on an algorithmic paste generator built on stolen ideas and work to make my ideas look almost real.
No one has ever described their AI use to me without sounding incredibly lazy and jaded.
The more people tell me that AI is the future, the more I know I just really want to make stuff with my hands and brain.

One of the more insidious forms oppression takes is in the restriction of the language necessary to discuss one’s own oppression.
Whether it’s algorithmic censorship of terms or the semantic flattening of the terms themselves, it all has the effect of preventing people from naming their pain

What is the point of X anymore other than as a right wing echo chamber? Why do governments and organisations cling to it with such willingness? Largely because they don’t know

It's possible spending all your time mainlining an algorithmic feed of posts programmed by a drug-addled Nazi who is explicitly trying to influence election outcomes is a poor way to understand reality.
Man. The big papers setting fire to their entire legacy to cape for the biggest losers in history is hilarious shit. Imagine betting on the wrong horse so much and so often that you might as well be fucking the horse. The legacy media is out of touch with reality and the people of this country.

Algorithmic audits have become a fashionable remedy in academic and policy debates, but this overlooks a fundamental point: like domestic pets 🐕, every algorithm has an owner. Accountability lies not with the code, but with those who design, deploy, and profit from it.
