There is a feeling of shattering

Artificial algorithms take advantage of human weaknesses to recommend information, enticing you to keep using them.

Pushing makes you feel like the world is just like you. If things go on like this, you will feel that the world is just like you, and make yourself a frog in the bottom of the well. Views across the country have also become fragmented.

False information can make a company more money than true information, and various rumors and conflicts can be escalated without screening.

Will we be ruled by artificial intelligence one day?

We have lost the ability to discern the truth.

if you are not paying for the product, then you are the product.

There are only two industries that refer to their users as users:

1. Software; 2. Drugs

AI can let you do what he wants you to do without you even realizing it.

Social media has no moral constraints, and can sell users' data, seduce users' online time and attention, and advertisers pay for it.

The false world constructed by push and false information makes it impossible for users to distinguish the true and false information; at the same time, it ignores the face-to-face praise and pays more attention to the likes of others on the Internet. The false vanity is built on nothing. Some teens have even committed suicide because they can't make sense of their everyday selves and their virtual selves.

After watching this documentary, I was really shocked. I decided to cut down on my phone and focus on my daily life.

    Social media builds predictive models of your behavior through algorithms for monetary gain, influencing and even shaping your mind, making you anxious to get "compliments"; eating away at your concentration, unable to focus on anything; further loss of The ability to think independently, to think that he has the absolute truth, and social contradictions to be more and more difficult to reconcile, is tantamount to a mental drug. What's even more frightening is that technology is still growing at the technical level, while the human brain has long stopped evolving...

    too poor. Edited and visually very typical Netflix documentary, made into Black Mirror. Given that Black Mirror has already hit the streets, the effect of the documentary can be imagined, not to mention that it uses this presentation method over and over to talk about issues that have long been criticized by scholars, think tanks, and the media, even to the point of being a bit quirky. , doesn't give me any inspiration. This is not to say that problems such as algorithm control, social network addiction, and digital footprint do not need criticism, but now, what is needed is more enlightening criticism, how to solve the fundamental contradiction between technology ethics and business value, and if it cannot be solved, what are the The buffer means, if there must be a tradeoff, where is the acceptable boundary. These issues have not been fully discussed. Cool visuals and slogan-style interview clips can bring a temporary impact. The audience will still fall into the realities that the film "criticizes" the next day, so Netflix actually created the A new type of documentary: the (softened) popcorn documentary.

The Social Dilemma quotes

  • Justin Rosenstein - Facebook, Former Engineer: We live in a world in which a tree is worth more, financially, dead than alive, in a world in which a whale is worth more dead than alive. For so long as our economy works in that way and corporations go unregulated, they're going to continue to destroy trees, to kill whales, to mine the earth, and to continue to pull oil out of the ground, even though we know it is destroying the planet and we know that it's going to leave a worse world for future generations. This is short-term thinking based on this religion of profit at all costs, as if somehow, magically, each corporation acting in its selfish interest is going to produce the best result. This has been affecting the environment for a long time. What's frightening, and what hopefully is the last straw that will make us wake up as a civilization to how flawed this theory has been in the first place, is to see that now we're the tree, we're the whale. Our attention can be mined. We are more profitable to a corporation if we're spending time staring at a screen, staring at an ad, than if we're spending that time living our life in a rich way. And so, we're seeing the results of that. We're seeing corporations using powerful artificial intelligence to outsmart us and figure out how to pull our attention toward the things they want us to look at, rather than the things that are most consistent with our goals and our values and our lives.
