I honestly just think it’s that before there was so little to do at home that you were just bored as hell if you didn’t go out. Now there’s just infinite entertainment of all kinds


We just have to be very careful with this line of thinking. One could misunderstand that you are blaming information access for these problems.


That would not be a misunderstanding, it is so


Then I have to wholeheartedly disagree, because that's elitist. The 10% of the population will never have problems with information access. Only the poor is affected if you go after information access.


O.k., misled information access...now let me do this for you...

My kinese television-set says: "People are digitally often misled by disinformation."

Have you ever "searchengined" a look for a "lesbian sunset"? The search-engine i used had more than 29,000 search-hits for "lesbian sunset", and i clicked on nearly all of them...but there was none "lesbian sunset" no one, no a single one, none. It showed (for example)...

There is no lesbian sunset for me!

But typed in a search line... over 29,000 hits for "lesbian sunset" (counts)

They don't exist!

You don't even remotely know, even one

not even a single lesbian sunset...

At this point you may ask: "What he/she/it/div was thinking about?" (using an 'AI' to translate and for some 'chars' i forgot the asci-code for - too often...)

A battle-painting is probably the most accurate, i was thinking about 12 x 4 meters, where you've been able to zoom in, if you are at a computerscreen...

I even looked for fresco painters, nothing...!

Not a single lesbian sunset... not one...

(feeling rude about...)

That is what i call a Myth...

...talked too dumb, free! (explanation: How to set a one topic record for been too relevant OT but still related hahaha?)^^


Finally I find this argument. Agreed, and I'm baffled that people think that AI is what's going to "solve loneliness." Loneliness has already been solved by YouTube/Twitch. The brain is easily tricked into thinking that it is "being social" when it is subject to the effects of the parasocial relationships that are formed by these platforms. People's afternoons are rapidly becoming consumed by hours of YouTube where they come out of it with a brain telling them: "boy, that's enough social interaction for today!" Introversion has become an epidemic as a result.


It's not just streamers - fictional characters are also increasingly engineered to be this way. Besides the loot box aspect, many East Asian gacha games are built with parasocial relationships with the characters in mind, for one.

(See community controversies surrounding Girls' Frontline 2 and Snowbreak for examples.)


Yep, this is it exactly. When I was young TV, including HBO, would go off the air at night. You could not have hours of fun playing an Atari. Having fun at home was cards and board games. Late night fun . . . well that will probably never change.
