Toby Walsh here saying the things I’ve been saying for several years. The medium is the message. Social media is a far greater danger to society than AI. But we wont see that, because we’re addicted to it. 1/4 https://t.co/gpkyxqy1qq https://t.co/M1SZPDC8KH

It’s all there. It doesn’t ‘connect’ us, it pulverises us into a proliferation of competing teams. And it hijacks society itself. We transact *everything* on it now. From news, to our intimate private and social lives. And our politics. 2/4 https://t.co/OmVPjkkftE

Right now the US is under assault from a coup, transacted in real time on social media. By the social media President. If you think you can oppose that by assembling your own teams on the same platforms, that more team sports will destroy team sports? lol. 3/4

This idiot idea that by rallying the troops here we are ’the people’ fighting some sort of resistance is tragically hilarious. We’re puppets inside the bubble-algorithms. Forming more and more bubble-cults, to feed the revenue to the algorithm owners. /end
