The Social Dilemma

The Social Dilemma

Facebook programmers go to work during the day to build models to make users addicted to their software, and then pick up their phones after get off work at night and become addicted themselves.

I want to quit social media, but I use my electronic device to watch movies that educate me to get rid of Internet addiction. I write about the movie on social media. By the way, I want to see if there is anything I am interested in the related recommendations of the movie. , and then start a new round of watching, commenting, and sharing, falling into a vicious circle.

There is no way to leave the electronic device, I can't control myself not to look at my mobile phone, not to open social software, I have become addicted to it, and I can't stop it.

Although through my own efforts, I have been able to control myself not to watch Moments, but in addition to WeChat Moments, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Station B, ins and other software occupy a lot of my time every day. As said in the video, I was completely addicted without even realizing it.

“If you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product.” Big data algorithms are getting more mature, and our data is used to build models to predict our actions, and it’s more for us to push Attractive advertisements, and then monetize data traffic through advertisements. This business model is becoming more and more mature, and it is difficult to resist with personal power, because data algorithms may know themselves better than we do, and they are controlled by this model unknowingly.

After learning about this, I suddenly miss the days when smartphones were not popular in my childhood. It seems that at that time, I had more concentration on reading paper books, more time and patience to communicate with friends, and entertainment methods. It is not a single one. When the weather is good, you can go cycling and roller skating, and you can also play board games such as chess and card Monopoly at home.

I really miss it.

    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.

    What products do not cater to the public psychology and take advantage of human weaknesses? With that said, don't do narrative products. Ordinary people's life is originally mediocre, accompanied by a real lover, who would like to like the Internet celebrity on the Internet? The information on the Internet is always mixed, you have to believe in conspiracy theories, rely on social software?

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.
