the migration to rednote in particular might be the biggest own-goal, propaganda wise, that I've ever seen in my life. Just endless threads of american users talking to chinese users and cofirming that not only is the standard of living in china _way_ higher, but the cost of living is lower (even accounting for lower chinese wages)
We should be looking into social media regulation, particularly short form content. Short form content alone has been proven to just annihilate attention spans and negatively impact aspects of brain development and psychology involving the ability to parse information and delaying gratification
One of the best guests they could've gotten imo. He also got to talk shit about Silicon Valley (and Sam Altman in particular) on NPR for almost an hour, Zitron stays winning.
The "oldies" who may not know how a social app works they absolutely know how it threatens their control on the narrative; narrative control that's keeping the rabble from going full Luigi on them.
8:23 Oh Jesus Christ! My parents are exactly like this; a complete lack of curiosity about how any of this works. Now to be fair I'm not interested in Tiktok either but that's because I'm just not interested in what Tiktok does, as opposed to its importance to the culture. My parents literally wouldn't understand what you're talking about. If you say Tiktok, they literally think... a clock.
if you are searching for signal from Ed here, just know that it's mostly noise. his role is not to understand the situation with tech/ silicon valley, but it is to explain tech/ silicon valley through the prism of his followers. he's a doctor that, instead of telling you your actual pulse, tells you it's a perfectly normal number so as to not upset you, the patient. i haven't watched the entire episode, but i assure you we'll all look back at how wrong he ended up being. his heuristics essentially prohibit him from relaying what's actually happening on the ground.
If you know what's wrong with Ed's analysis regarding enshittification of western digital tech and the "rot economy" driving this process I would like to hear what you believe is actually going on.
@@discountchocolate4577 whether his analysis of those processes are true or not is secondary to my point. his erroneous belief that contaminates the rest of his thought is this: tech companies are lying/ being disingenuous when they 'hype' up AI. he's a denialist of any progress, of any potential future use cases. he can't accurately model those guiding these advancements, so his analysis falls flat. his conceptualization of the entire sphere is tainted with incorrect presuppositions.

The US isn't a serious country.
We have like 3000 nuclear missiles, calling America unserious is mildly amusing but also 1000% cope
We can be unserious and still end the world, turns out we were the Joker all along.
@@berdyderg900 1 million covid deaths because wearing masks is gay or something. Totally serious country.
@@berdyderg900 3000 nuclear missiles, which will bring a disproportionate response if we use them?
That isn't a serious suggestion.

If Facebook drives you insane then why does my grandma think Mark Zuckerberg is so cool?
Easy question: your grandma is insane
Your grandma is gay
Also im gay
think real harrrrd. something will come to you.
@@lolwuttup420hell yeah dude
Grandma is into robots.
Matt Lieb just posted a screenshot of that "tiktok is back, thank you trump" notification and wrote: "Masterful gambit, Democrats."
All this talk about who owns what but has anyone ever asked Mr. Tok what he wants?
This is not an attempt to ban TikTok. This is an attempt to make TikTok better. Tic Tac Toe. A winner. A winner.
Finally an app that tells the truth about terror babies.

these final four years of America are going to be fun.
I genuinely cannot wait to see what two candidates both parties put forward in 2028
America still has a long way too limp....
4 years is, depending on your perspective, either extremely optimistic or extremely pessimistic.
Holy shit an Ed Zitron crossover
