- With infinite content you must have an algorithm to sift through it all.
- An algorithm is a lens made by others.
- They made it to align with their incentives, not yours.
- "What will cause the viewer to be more engaged?"
- The infinite content algorithm problem has been destabilizing for society and led to a hellscape.
- A common refrain today: "We live in the worst timeline."
- Imagine it for our entire digital lives.
- If everyone uses LLMs to cothink, the guardrails they have will shape all of society.
- This analysis shows the power of a centralized algorithm that everyone views the world through.
