I really shuddered to watch the whole film in many places. I happened to be reading some science fiction novels recently. I have to say that if there is no more awakening of collective consciousness, there will be no more open discussion/criticism, but let these technologies develop, and human civilization will further progress. Destruction or even disintegration is really not far in the future! !
I plan to absorb some of the operations used in the last film Fix the daily browsing time; also be alert to some pushes that will trigger emotional buttons, and share the so-called facts with caution before learning more about the facts/doing some search and verification; these are not difficult to do, but the hard thing should be to keep doing them;
Although I can't completely leave the intricate and potentially dangerous jungle of social media for the time being, I can choose to put down the screen more often, spend more time walking out of this jungle, walk into the real world around me, and go to the real world. monitoring social activities
By the way, I recently learned about a book "I'm sorry, I manipulated your brain", which is similar to the theme of this documentary. I plan to read it and learn more about the manipulation of human consciousness by artificial intelligence such as algorithm recommendation~
