„Děti do tří let potřebují hlavně vztah, lidskost a bezpečí. Koukat v kočárku do tabletu jim nepřináší nic dobrého, ale bohužel to vídám. Pokud jde dítě do paniky, když mu vezmete telefon, je něco špatně,” říká klinická logopedka Barbora Richtrová. „Jak vyslovit R a Ř je to poslední, co dnes řešíme. Co nás nejvíce trápí a co teď enormně narůstá, jsou poruchy jazykového vývoje. Rodiče navíc přinášejí do terapie daleko větší úzkost. A úzkost souvisí s jazykem.”

Alarmující data k používání mobilů dětmi. Hrozí jim pseudoautismus

To má pak přímý dopad na zdraví nejmladší populace. Mezi dětmi roste podíl těch s vadami řeči, ale i třeba se selektivním mutismem, tedy že dítě například ve škole není vůbec schopné mluvit. Přitom doma komunikuje normálně.

„Jeden takový chlapec s těžkým selektivním mutismem ke mně přišel. Jedinou chvílí, kdy dokázal vůbec kontaktovat svět, bylo skrze hraní Robloxu (online herní platforma, pozn. red.) na svém tabletu. Jinak vypadal jako taková loutka. Začala jsem s ním tedy pracovat přes Roblox, hrála jsem s ním a postupnými krůčky jsme ubírali a zapojovali reálné hry. A po roce péče je z něj úplně normální dítě, které staví v lese bunkry s kamarády a je šťastný,“ popisuje své zkušenosti Richtrová. Dodává nicméně, že nelze z technologií dělat naprosté zlo a je třeba je brát jako součást dnešního života. Nutné je ale jasně nastavovat mantinely.

Abstract
As large language models (LLMs) have proliferated, disturbing anec-
dotal reports of negative psychological effects, such as delusions,
self-harm, and “AI psychosis,” have emerged in global media and le-
gal discourse. However, it remains unclear how users and chatbots
interact over the course of lengthy delusional “spirals,” limiting
our ability to understand and mitigate the harm. In our work, we
analyze logs of conversations with LLM chatbots from 19 users who
report having experienced psychological harms from chatbot use.
Many of our participants come from a support group for such chat-
bot users. We also include chat logs from participants covered by
media outlets in widely-distributed stories about chatbot-reinforced
delusions. In contrast to prior work that speculates on potential
AI harms to mental health, to our knowledge we present the first
in-depth study of such high-profile and veridically harmful cases.
We develop an inventory of 28 codes and apply it to the 391, 562
messages in the logs. Codes include whether a user demonstrates
delusional thinking (15.5% of user messages), a user expresses sui-
cidal thoughts (69 validated user messages), or a chatbot misrep-
resents itself as sentient (21.2% of chatbot messages). We analyze
the co-occurrence of message codes. We find, for example, that
messages that declare romantic interest and messages where the
chatbot describes itself as sentient occur much more often in longer
conversations, suggesting that these topics could promote or re-
sult from user over-engagement and that safeguards in these areas
may degrade in multi-turn settings.

On 7 August, Kate Fox received a phone call that upended her life. A medical examiner said that her husband, Joe Ceccanti – who had been missing for several hours – had jumped from a railway overpass and died. He was 48.

Fox couldn’t believe it. Ceccanti had no history of depression, she said, nor was he suicidal – he was the “most hopeful person” she had ever known. In fact, according to the witness accounts shared with Fox later, just before Ceccanti jumped, he smiled and yelled: “I’m great!” to the rail yard attendants below when they asked him if he was OK.

But Ceccanti had been unravelling. In the days before his death, he was picked up from a stranger’s yard for acting erratically and taken to a crisis center. He had been telling anyone who would listen that he could hear and feel a painful “atmospheric electricity”.

He had also recently stopped using ChatGPT.

Ceccanti had been communicating with OpenAI’s chatbot for a few years. He used it initially as a tool to brainstorm ways to build a path to low-cost housing for his community in Clatskanie, Oregon, but eventually turned to it as a confidante. He would spend 12 hours a day typing to the bot, according to his wife. He had cut himself off from it after she, along with his friends, realized he was spiraling into beliefs that were detached from reality.

“He was not a depressed person,” Fox said, as she sat on the couch in their living room with tears trickling down her face. Ceccanti never discussed suicide with the bot, according to his chat logs, viewed by the Guardian. Fox believes her husband suffered a crisis after quitting ChatGPT after prolonged use. “Which tells me that this thing is not just dangerous to people with depression, it’s dangerous to anybody,” she said. He returned to the bot in the months leading up to his death and quit again just days prior.

Ceccanti’s case is extreme, but as hundreds of millions of people turn to AI chatbots, more and more edge cases of AI-induced delusions are emerging. There are nearly 50 cases of people in the US who have had mental health crises after or during their conversations with ChatGPT, of whom nine were hospitalized and three died, according to a New York Times report. It’s difficult to understand the scale of the problem, but OpenAI itself estimates that more than a million people every week show suicidal intent when chatting with ChatGPT.

YouTube tvrdí, že bojuje za kvalitu. Dáta však ukazujú, že odporúča milióny videí nízkej úrovne.

Viac ako pätina videí odporúčaných novým používateľom YouTube tvorí tzv. „AI slop“ – nízkokvalitný obsah generovaný umelou inteligenciou, ktorého jediným cieľom je pritiahnuť pozornosť a získať zobrazenia. Vyplýva to zo štúdie spoločnosti Kapwing, zaoberajúcej sa úpravou videí, na ktorú odkazuje denník The Guardian. Analyzovali 15 000 najpopulárnejších kanálov na YouTube – po 100 z každej krajiny.

Ohohoh ... síce monk youtube guru ale predsalen chytil za pačesy topic:



Pôvodne som bol názoru, že AI by za určitých podmienok dokázala cca odfiltrovať niektoré časti práce terapeutov, či diagnostiky trebárs aj v psychológií. Možno nejaké cielene trénované modely ... vizerá to, že s tým čo je dostupné širokým masám to bude možno komplikovaniejšie.

People used to say that when you post something online, it stays there forever, but that’s not true. Letters, documents, and even film have longer lifespans than digital files. Software gets updated, accounts get banned or deleted, and posts are taken down. Add to this the hassle of storing data and the sheer volume of stuff you’d have to not only save but organize and maintain, and you see the trouble we’re in.

On the one hand, this is a cultural tragedy. A lot of beautiful and meaningful art won’t be accessible. But it’s also a societal problem. The fragility of online artifacts and our lack of good archives should be thought of, alongside the usual suspects of “algorithms that drive polarization” and “the difficulty of content moderation,” as one of the driving forces behind the “post-truth” world people say we’re living in. Misinformation thrives when the receipts are hard to find and the past is a jumble of he-said she-said, broken links, and self-interested spin.

"Now, another study highlights the risks of LLM (large language model) tools such as ChatGPT. MIT Media Lab researchers found that using ChatGPT and similar tools to write essays resulted in lower brain activity. The study, titled "Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task," also suggests that those who relied on AI tools got worse at writing essays when asked to perform that task without the assistance of ChatGPT or similar tools.

The study had a small sample size of 54 people between the ages of 18 and 39. Those subjects were split into three groups: a brain-only group, a group that could use a traditional search engine, and a group that could use LLM tools such as ChatGPT.

Those who used LLMs to complete the task experienced a 32% lower cognitive load than those who used traditional software interfaces. They also had less frustration during the process."

post-consumerism and AI agents
Rob Horning
Feb 14, 2025



Open AI and Anthropic have recently announced or launched their versions of “AI agents”: pieces of software, often represented as assistants or servants, that use computers on your behalf to presumably free you for more important tasks. Often they are described as booking flights or restaurant reservations, as if these were profoundly onerous burdens from which everyone seeks relief.

One illustration of this is the deeply preposterous and widely despised Salesforce commercial in which Matthew McConaughey’s AI agent — because, of course, anyone important should be expected to be using them now — books him a table at a bistro that is unwilling to seat him inside during a rainstorm or show him a menu so he can order something he wants. Instead he sits outside, alone and wet with a sopping napkin in his lap, gesturing futilely at the plate of shrimp in front of him that the restaurant has apparently forced him to have.

“The basics of this premise — a restaurant, a table, food, even a booking app — are extremely relatable to almost everyone,” Alan Kluegel writes in a piece for Defector. “What makes this commercial an avant-garde experience is that at no point are the people on-screen relating to these perfectly ordinary things in a way that any human ever has.” It’s a weird window onto a world where consumerism has ceased to function. What kind of restaurant would refuse to seat a customer (a highly recognizable celebrity one, no less) inside an empty dining room during a downpour and then try to force them to eat food they didn’t order? What kind of customer would just passively submit to that treatment? Why doesn’t anyone exhibit a bare minimum amount of resourcefulness? McConaughey appears to have become alienated from his ability to do anything, and agency itself has become an occulted mystery.

It’s also curious that the ad shows us no relations with machines at all; perhaps showing someone consulting with a computer to help them manage their life appeared too pathetic. In a December piece for Wired, Kate Crawford described AI agents as “manipulation engines, marketed as seamless convenience,” but the Salesforce ad boldly shows instead how inconvenient they will be when they go wrong. Is this because the effort that AI agents can save consumers is too inconsequential and anticlimactic to portray positively? Crawford anticipates that AI agents will seem like helpful friends that we can talk to (or bark orders at), that will “support and charm us so that we fold them into every part of our lives, giving them deep access to our thoughts and actions.” But in the ad, McConaughey sits worthlessly alone, and who can say if the tears on his cheeks are from laughter?

The situation presented in the ad is so irreconcilable with the world we customarily experience that Kluegel concludes it must be an attempt to show us the future:

This ad is not a sales pitch; it is a vision of the dystopia to come. The world depicted in this commercial is one where AI has come to dominate our lives. AI will be what intermediates you and other human beings, it will direct you where to go and what to do, it will give you what it decides to give you, its decisions are binding on you and others, its judgment is irreversible, and you will have to sit there and take it.

That is, the Salesforce commercial is an ad for the control society. It isn’t really trying to persuade the audience so much as warn them that this will be implemented and it won’t be stopped, despite the obvious ways in which it deliberately fails people. Basic civilities and accommodations will be automated out of existence, so that they can be sold back to atomized individuals as perks or bonuses — a sort of Spirit or Ryanair approach applied to the entirety of socioeconomic life, necessarily administered by machines because most of us can’t be demoralized enough to consistently and reliably treat fellow humans beings with that kind of contempt. (This ambition animates the current campaign in the U.S. to fire civil servants and replace them with “AI,” as detailed here by Erik Salvaggio.)

So the ad’s pitch of an “inscrutable solution to a non-existent problem,” as Kluegel puts it, works as an alibi for its actual aim: presenting a world in which compulsory booking apps and other modulating meshes of dividuation and permissioning are a fait accompli and even the very rich and famous default to and proudly flaunt their learned helplessness. This is a post-consumerist world, in that we aren’t expected to shop our way toward having a recognizable personality. Instead identity is expressed by what the automated decision-making systems allow you or compel you to do in front of everyone else. It is the counterpart of the post-labor vision of the world where workers have no agency or bargaining power, and persist as superfluous appendages to a system that no longer needs them. That vision will never be achieved, but capital will never cease to aspire toward it: a fully automated system in which no needs are engendered or fulfilled and nothing at all happens except capital automatically and irresistibly reproducing and expanding itself. (An all-powerful AI god is a version of this fantasy too, capital uninhibited by human inhibition or even the limits of human greed.)

This is a slight departure from earlier AI ads. A Bluesky post from Kevin Kruse (which Kluegel cites) points out that “every commercial for AI is basically, ‘Look, you’re a fucking moron, but we’ll help you fake it!’” The pitch for AI agents must take this further, because the goal is not to dupe others but to fool yourself. You need to be convinced that it’s a luxury to have machines that you don’t understand, operated by companies that profit from your ignorance, make decisions for you about what you can and can’t do. If you’re not doing something moronic and humiliating because “AI” made you, do you even have a right to be here? Are you even trying to keep pace with our brave new world? Do you really think people like you, with your souls of brass and iron, will still be authorized to make decisions for yourselves anyway? The AI assistants the Salesforce ad presumes will be ubiquitous are better understood as automated minders, incontestable guardians who will tell you what to do, along with the necessary lies to keep you complacent about it.

But these may not be the ordinary sort of lies to which centuries of ads and propaganda have habituated us. Consumerism is premised on the idea that nothing is more gratifying than exercising choice in a robust marketplace of options, and then having the opportunity to display those choices and what they signify about you. The point is to impress other people with the choices you can show that you’ve made. But technology has been pushing people toward surrendering agency and self-expression in the name of a more solipsistic comfort. Ads for technology are meant to help with this transition away from conspicuous consumption toward conspicuous compliance.

“The emergence of personal AI agents represents a form of cognitive control that moves beyond blunt instruments of cookie tracking and behavioral advertising toward a more subtle form of power: the manipulation of perspective itself,” Crawford argues. An agent positioned to make decisions for us “infiltrates the core of our subjectivity, bending our internal landscape without us realizing it, all while maintaining the illusion of choice and freedom.” The more one cedes the capability to want things, to choose things, to evaluate things to forms of automation, the more one will become incapable of taking any sort of agency, even as that experience will be framed as liberation from the burden of having to have personal desires. Better to let a machine choose goals for you that it can also meet for you than to risk even a single moment of disappointment or nonfulfillment.

“Convenience is the site of our deepest alienation,” Crawford writes — a slogan fit for a Jenny Holzer–style projection on the side of a skyscraper — and this alienation appears as a diminished capacity to will anything. Convenience is another name for lost resolve; it’s a squeamish aversion to agency that frames surrender as satisfaction. The Salesforce commercial proceeds as though everyone’s already given up on agency and can only dither over which agent can produce for them the least miserable, least effortful life.

Kluegel wonders if the ad doesn’t deconstruct itself when it shows McConaughey being rescued from the AI world by Woody Harrelson, who invites him to come join him at a restaurant across the street. “Harrelson reaches out to him with love, beckoning him back to humanity. In doing so, Harrelson gives McConaughey that which had been taken from him, that what he could not see he needed: a choice.”

That seems too optimistic a reading. I think the ending mainly contributes to how the ad tries to pummel us with irrationality and maintain the suspension of parsable cause and effect. Audiences are supposed to register the “happy” conclusion and not worry about the means that support it, just like AI agents are supposed to save you from having to understand how any of life’s systems fit together. Choices aren’t part of the program. Tech companies are so confident of imposing AI on the world that they don’t believe that they have to bother with making a coherent case for its usefulness. The refusal of coherence is itself the central message. There are no more explanations, no more messages to send.

Čo robia hodiny scrollovania na TiToku s vašim mozgom

Sledovanie krátkych videí má negatívny vplyv na mentálne zdravie, ukazujú výsledky výskumu čínskych vedcov. Tiež zistili, že ľudia, ktorí majú sklon k závisti, sú častejšie závislí od krátkych videí.
Čínsky TikTok patrí medzi najpopulárnejšie aplikácie na sledovanie krátkych videí. Čínski vedci skúmali, ako tieto videá vplývajú na ľudský mozog.

Nová štúdia výskumníkov Tchien-ťinskej univerzity, na ktorú sa odvoláva švajčiarsky Blick, ukazuje, že nadmerné sledovanie krátkych videí mení aktivitu nášho mozgu.

Výskumníci vyšetrili 111 študentov vo veku 17 až 30 rokov pomocou magnetickej rezonancie. Tá je obzvlášť účinná pri zobrazovaní mäkkých tkanív a orgánov, medzi ktoré patrí aj mozog.

Analyzovali štruktúru a aktivitu rôznych oblastí mozgu. Na meranie závislosti od krátkych videí nechali účastníkov vyplniť štandardizovaný dotazník.

Zväčšenie orbiofrontálnej kôry
Zistili, že mladí ľudia závislí od krátkych videí majú zväčšenú orbitofrontálnu kôru a zvýšenú tendenciu porovnávať sa s ostatnými ľuďmi na videách.

Orbitofrontálna kôra je časť mozgu, ktorá kontroluje náš zmysel pre odmenu. U závislých od krátkych videí je zväčšená. To znamená, že ich mozog je čoraz vnímavejší na podnet, ktorý vyvolávajú nové krátke videá.

Vedci zistili zvýšenú aktivitu aj v ďalších oblastiach mozgu, ktoré sú zodpovedné za rozhodovanie, vnímanie samého seba či kontrolu emócií u postihnutých. Zvýšená aktivita mozgu v týchto oblastiach naznačuje, že u ľudí so závislosťou od krátkych videí sa čoraz častejšie objavujú problémy so sebakontrolou.

Závistlivejší si TikTokom kompenzujú negatívne pocity
Zároveň majú čoraz väčší sklon porovnávať sa s ostatnými ľuďmi na videách. Práve toto porovnávanie sa s ostatnými zohráva dôležitú úlohu pri vzniku závislosti, konštatujú vedci.

Z ich štúdie tiež vyplýva, že ľudia, ktorí majú sklon k závisti, sú častejšie závislí od krátkych videí. V ich prípade sa menia najmä oblasti mozgu, ktoré spracovávajú pocity a sociálne vzťahy. Vedci majú podozrenie, že títo ľudia používajú platformy, ako je TikTok, ako kompenzačný mechanizmus. Krátke videá im ponúkajú spôsob, ako dočasne potlačiť negatívne emócie a zabudnúť na seba v zdanlivo dokonalom svete.

Obzvlášť ohrození sú mladí ľudia
Riziko závislosti je obzvlášť vysoké u dospievajúcich. Vedci objavili viac ako 500 génov, ktoré priamo súvisia s pozorovanými zmenami v mozgu. Tieto gény sú dôležité pre to, ako nervové bunky medzi sebou komunikujú. Sú obzvlášť aktívne počas dospievania – v období, keď sa mozog stále rýchlo vyvíja.

Štúdia má však aj obmedzenie. Výskumníci nevedia povedať, čo bolo skôr, či zmeny v mozgu alebo závislosť. Menia teda krátke videá náš mozog? Alebo nás určitý typ mozgu robí náchylnejšími na závislosť od krátkych videí? Na túto otázku môžu odpovedať len dlhodobé štúdie v budúcnosti. Účastníkov výskumu bude potrebné pozorovať niekoľko rokov.

Český vládny koordinátor Otakar Foltýn odporúča rodičom, aby zvážili, či ponechajú deťom TikTok. „Ak si neprajú, aby ich deti brali drogy, tak nech takto pristupujú aj k TikToku, ktorý je rovnako návykový. A nech si ujasnia, či chcú, aby dáta o ich dieťati boli uchovávané v Číne, kde môžu raz poslúžiť potrebám čínskej komunistickej strany,“ vraví.

More than 40 states have filed a lawsuit in federal court against Meta, claiming that the social media company has harmed young people’s mental health.

In the lawsuit, the states allege that the company has profited from how it has designed Instagram and Facebook to maximize time spent on the platforms by teens and children, which led to increased advertising revenue. The suit cites several studies including Meta’s own research showing links between young people's use of social media with depression, anxiety, and other health issues. The states are seeking financial damages, restitution, and an end to Meta’s practices that are in violation of the law.

Today, a third of teenagers in the U.S. report using social media “almost constantly.” In 2021, a Facebook employee leaked internal research on Facebook products. One set of documents about Instagram’s impact on teens found that “thirty-two percent of teen girls said that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse.”

Question Is there a dose-response association between screen time for children aged 1 year and functional development at ages 2 and 4 years?

Findings In this cohort study including 7097 mother-child pairs, a dose-response association was observed between greater screen time at age 1 year and developmental delays in communication and problem-solving at ages 2 and 4 years.

Meaning These findings suggest that domains of developmental delay should be considered separately in future discussions on screen time and child development.
Abstract

Objective To examine the association between screen time exposure among children aged 1 year and 5 domains of developmental delay (communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal and social skills) at age 2 and 4 years.

Design, Participants, and Setting This cohort study was conducted under the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study. Pregnant women at 50 obstetric clinics and hospitals in the Miyagi and Iwate prefectures in Japan were recruited into the study between July 2013 and March 2017. The information was collected prospectively, and 7097 mother-child pairs were included in the analysis. Data analysis was performed on March 20, 2023.

Exposure Four categories of screen time exposure were identified for children aged 1 year (<1, 1 to <2, 2 to <4, or ≥4 h/d).

Main Outcomes and Measures Developmental delays in the 5 domains for children aged 2 and 4 years were assessed using the Japanese version of the Ages & Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition. Each domain ranged from 0 to 60 points. Developmental delay was defined if the total score for each domain was less than 2 SDs from its mean score.

Results Of the 7097 children in this study, 3674 were boys (51.8%) and 3423 were girls (48.2%). With regard to screen time exposure per day, 3440 children (48.5%) had less than 1 hour, 2095 (29.5%) had 1 to less than 2 hours, 1272 (17.9%) had 2 to less than 4 hours, and 290 (4.1%) had 4 or more hours. Children’s screen time was associated with a higher risk of developmental delay at age 2 years in the communication (odds ratio [OR], 1.61 [95% CI, 1.23-2.10] for 1 to <2 h/d; 2.04 [1.52-2.74] for 2 to <4 h/d; 4.78 [3.24-7.06] for ≥4 vs <1 h/d), fine motor (1.74 [1.09-2.79] for ≥4 vs <1 h/d), problem-solving (1.40 [1.02-1.92] for 2 to <4 h/d; 2.67 [1.72-4.14] for ≥4 vs <1 h/d), and personal and social skills (2.10 [1.39-3.18] for ≥4 vs <1 h/d) domains. Regarding risk of developmental delay at age 4 years, associations were identified in the communication (OR, 1.64 [95% CI, 1.20-2.25] for 2 to <4 h/d; 2.68 [1.68-4.27] for ≥4 vs <1 h/d) and problem-solving (1.91 [1.17-3.14] for ≥4 vs <1 h/d) domains.

Conclusions and Relevance In this study, greater screen time for children aged 1 year was associated with developmental delays in communication and problem-solving at ages 2 and 4 years. These findings suggest that domains of developmental delay should be considered separately in future discussions on screen time and child development.

Low-quality and misleading information online can hijack people’s attention, often by evoking curiosity, outrage, or anger. Resisting certain types of information and actors online requires people to adopt new mental habits that help them avoid being tempted by attention-grabbing and potentially harmful content. We argue that digital information literacy must include the competence of critical ignoring—choosing what to ignore and where to invest one’s limited attentional capacities. We review three types of cognitive strategies for implementing critical ignoring: self-nudging, in which one ignores temptations by removing them from one’s digital environments; lateral reading, in which one vets information by leaving the source and verifying its credibility elsewhere online; and the do-not-feed-the-trolls heuristic, which advises one to not reward malicious actors with attention. We argue that these strategies implementing critical ignoring should be part of school curricula on digital information literacy. Teaching the competence of critical ignoring requires a paradigm shift in educators’ thinking, from a sole focus on the power and promise of paying close attention to an additional emphasis on the power of ignoring. Encouraging students and other online users to embrace critical ignoring can empower them to shield themselves from the excesses, traps, and information disorders of today’s attention economy.

A week of reporting from Israel and the West Bank has left me feeling that the prospect for a two-state solution has all but vanished. But no one wants to formally declare it dead and buried — because categorically ruling it out would have enormous ramifications. So, diplomats, politicians and liberal Jewish organizations pretend that it still has a faint heartbeat. I do as well. But we all know that the two-state option is not in a hospital. It’s in hospice. Only a miracle cure could save it now.

Alas, though, just because the two-state concept is vanishing doesn’t mean the one-state solution — with Israel alone controlling the West Bank, Jerusalem and pre-1967 Israel forever — automatically becomes the easy default. Not at all. The more you examine closely how Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs have been living together between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea the more you realize three important things:

First, you realize that, despite episodic blowups, these highly diverse, often antagonistic, but deeply intertwined communities have been kept in rough equilibrium since the 1993 Oslo Accords, thanks to a combination of Israel’s security clampdowns, the workings of the Palestinian Authority, economic growth and a whole lot of pragmatic compromises and self-restraint exercised by all sides every day.

But you also realize that a variety of long-developing demographic, technological, political and social changes are reaching tipping points that are stressing all the balances between Jews and Jews, Jews and Israeli Arabs, Jews and Palestinians and Palestinians and Palestinians that have kept this place reasonably stable.

By that I am referring to the fading of the peace process and prospects of a two-state solution, the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the corruption and breakdown of the Palestinian Authority and the prevalence of TikTok and other social media. In the past year alone, according to B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, roughly 20 Israelis and more than 150 Palestinians have died in violent incidents.

I don’t think a day passed on this trip when I did not read about or see TikTok or other videos of a Palestinian shot by Israeli soldiers or Israelis rammed into or attacked with knives by individual Palestinians. This conflict porn is new, it’s pervasive and it is incredibly effective at instilling hate in 15-second bites that keep everyone in a permanent state of fear and rage.

Metaverse sice zatím masivně prodělává, ale stojí na vizi, která předznamenává novou éru. V ní i samotné technologické firmy přestávají věřit, že dokážou vyřešit společenské problémy. Co to znamená pro nás ostatní, kteří si útěk do virtuální reality nemůžeme dovolit? Přinášíme překlad eseje akademiků z Humboldtovy univerzity v Berlíně.

Technologičtí giganti už nechtějí zachraňovat svět. Vítejte ve virtuální poušti

‘Extinction is on the table’: Jaron Lanier warns of tech’s existential threat to humanity
The American computer scientist, who coined the term ‘virtual reality,’ cautions against online ‘psychological operatives’



And he’s been brutally clear about what he sees as the consequences of over-dependence on social media: in essence, you’ll get both popular cat videos and civil war.

“People survive by passing information between themselves,” Lanier, 61, told the Guardian in an interview. “We’re putting that fundamental quality of humanness through a process with an inherent incentive for corruption and degradation. The fundamental drama of this period is whether we can figure out how to survive properly with those elements or not.”

The exaggerated focus on Twitter in recent months after its chaotic take over by billionaire Elon Musk follows longstanding concerns about Facebook and others, including state actors. He mentions “psychological operatives” working for Vladimir Putin and the Chinese communist state apparatus. All of them are filtering or promoting information for their own gains. In short, the web is not a free market of information as originally envisioned. It is a gamed system being rampantly abused
