O TYM ODCINKU
A UC Berkeley study conducted with Meta researchers during the 2020 election reduced users' exposure to untrustworthy content on Facebook and Instagram by 70% — and measured almost no change in beliefs across 20 primary outcomes. The researchers' conclusion is the uncomfortable one: social media companies can change what you see, but beliefs are shaped by something deeper. Also: a new BMC Psychology study of 664 adults finds compulsive dating app use is linked to a weaker belief that romantic love is meaningful and a more transactional view of relationships — people fall in love faster but less discriminately and see love as less worth taking seriously. And a San Francisco billboard is advertising "ChatTJB," described as "the leading chatbot powered by AI" — where AI stands for "average individual," the chatbot is Tucker Bryant, a former Google staffer, and he answers every message by hand to make a point about cognitive surrender. Plus a bush-disguised cop, a prehistoric three-way chomping, the koi fish murder, and a Little Debbie delivery scheme.
