Look at this absolute nightmare to see what’s going on with AI and Facebook. https://twitter.com/AnAngryOpossum/status/178973278033248283...

"relatives don't share pictures of our kids' faces" - serious question: why ? I have seen that from friends too, and I respect it - but I don't understand what bad outcome that prevents.
Because they are children who can’t and haven’t consented to have their likeness posted all over social media, to be used as training data on an ever growing corpus of privacy destroying tech. Additionally, pedophiles and creeps do actually exist. I love that I get this question all the time, when from where I sit, the question should be to all the other parents: "Why do you insist on posting your children and their…

I feel like ticktok is more damaging for just how your brain is wired more than anything. People are walking into bathrooms and using the urinals one handed without putting the phone down the entire time. I can’t imagine spending every free second of your life engaging with short form media is going to help your ability to deeply think about things.
You don’t need TikTok to promote that kind of behavior. I know people who do that and have never touched TikTok in their lives. Meanwhile Facebook was used as a tool in a real life insurrection that got people killed.

I removed the Facebook and Twitter/X apps from my phone, so I don't get notifications. I still log into the websites occasionally, but I never get prompted by my phone, which I think is the real hook.
I get flooded with notifications from Snapchat about worthless brainrot garbage every day.
It's upwards of thirty notifications each day for an app I have literally one single group chat convo on and everyone in this chat is also on other platforms (AKA Discord).
If only these people weren't so insistent on using this PoS chat app from a failing company desperatly trying to retain its userbase shoving AI and TikTok clone features into it.
Was IRC really that bad?

Looks like I just found my daily hill to die on. If AI is involved the term "artwork" isn't really applicable.
