It features a conversation between TJ Walker and another speaker discussing the influence of social media bots, confirmation bias, and the potential for self-radicalization through algorithmic content delivery.
This is a very important discussion basically because we know that there's bots on, on social media and we know that they are pushing messages depending on their, their bot agenda or whatnot. So, so again I allude back to common sense and people being able to discern whether they are being manipulated or not. Basically, I think a truthful message.
Is that common sense. I mean, isn't the more common thing to see someone who says something you agree with the confirmation bias creeping in and to just want. And then the algorithms say oh tj. TJ loves news that says balding men with gray hair are the new sex symbol of Hollywood.
And so some of these, these concepts you're talking about, I, I believe are, that can happen which actually do happen in negative effects is self radicalization where you're, you're, you're fed this machine that keeps on bringing you down this path of more extreme, more extreme, more extreme views where you eventually become fanatic or whatnot and do something nefarious, basically. So I think already exists what you're talking about.
