Tech companies are destroying social structures, preventing young people from building romances and steady relations. Connor Leahy explains spot on how tech companies are acting in a 'wild west' fashion. Getting very rich without taking societal responsibility while leaving a great mess behind. (I was sent a link to this video on a wild-west platform, hope they're OK with me sharing it here. Find the full video here: https://nexus-instituut.nl/en/person/connor-leahy )

    @joepbc@mastodon.social @paninid@mastodon.world So grateful to have dated and flirted and danced badly in the pre-ai times. The simple freedom to be stupid and unrecorded. I can’t imagine the whole body cringe of knowing you might constantly be on someone’s recording device.

    @joepbc@mastodon.social sounds like a he problem... I personally don't know if what he says is true, but I guess his views are limited to his own experience (i.e., eviden came from his own ass) and not something that can be extrapolated

  • @joepbc@mastodon.social I thought tiktok was nominally, in the beginning, the app for young people to communicate in dance videos

  • @joepbc@mastodon.social Who is recording kids in clubs? Other kids in the clubs, that's who. Same kids who are afraid to undress in changing rooms because they and their friends are filming in there too.

  • @joepbc@mastodon.social This rhymes with Snowden's "Permanent Record" book. It's been a while since I read it so the recollection is muddy, but it was something like, we've built a permanent record of everything you do, so the old idle warning from school "this will go on your permanent record" is now not toothless and not constrained to school either. It's also harder and harder to opt out
