I don't really have a strong opinion on the "best" settling point for a lot of these cultural norms, but the idea that whoever manages the Insta algo should be the one to figure that out seems... really, really bad?
If you want a society that feels at least a little guilty hitting "like" on a 19-year-old in a schoolgirl costume, you're going to have to manage that on the culture layer. Demanding the tech layer fix it for you is begging for dystopia
For the sake of not spending all day in the replies: if you think men didn't want to see lots and lots of partially-unclothed women in rapid succession until an algorithm offered it, I think you're silly
You might think it's bad that there's a product that offers that, and that's fine. What I'm asking you to do is to be honest about the nature of your complaint.
The direction I see all this headed in, potentially, is that the sort of people who got their rocks off railing at religious institutions for "controlling women" will demand behind the scenes that certain female behavior be dampened on the algorithmic level "for their own good."
What I'd like is for us to drag these conversations into daylight and actually talk about what we want and what we don't want, without insisting that every mixed outcome of our preferred ideals is somebody else's fault.
you could just tie the voltage of the electrical shock to the age difference of the viewer.
Only when people can compare results of different algos would they become aware of how distorting/manipulative they can be. Truly are in a hegemon dark age.
There's clearly a distinction between solving the entire culture vs trying to manage harm exacerbated by your product. If you incentivise and streamline smoking crack - you're not innocent just because you didn't create crack.
Parenting doesn't really make a difference. It's a personal choice. Government layer is already dystopian.
I think the problem is that the culture and tech layers are increasingly intertwined and tech / "algos" are driving culture. Don't know what the solution is because I don't love the idea of engineers/PMs at tech cos determining culture but feels like we are already there
In American society, we lack a cohesive set of values, so we often punt to legislation or technology to fill in the gaps. And Americans naturally seek out loopholes, so unfortunately we need to set a legal “floor” for what is acceptable. It boggles my mind.
