Anyone else watched The Social Dilemma yet?

[Jonboy]

 

New documentary on Netflix that I highly recommend. It's pretty terrifying, but anyone who uses a smartphone or any kind of social media should be aware of what's going on behind the scenes with algorithms and AI.

 

They interview quite a few folks who used to work for Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

 

There were a few things I didn't agree with or felt they didn't explore enough after watching it the first time, but I definitely plan on watching it again.

I haven’t seen it yet, but there’s already a thread in the politics forum...

Thanks for the plug.  Honestly, I think everyone needs to watch it and understand.

This forum is about as close to any social media that I use.  Don't use FB/Twitter/IG.  Doubt I ever will.

Yeah, everyone should watch this, especially if you have young kids.

Its a little cheesy at times, but the information is important. Social Media is a machine-learning platform with an intent to divide us to increase revenue. We are currently living in The Divided States of America because of this. 

 

We will soon need to start having the very real conversation whether or not profit-at-any-cost is really beneficial to our society.
