        Now watch me TikTok it further by pasting half of my blurred, blotchy head in the image so that I can point repeatedly in the general direction of the video I want you to see. Maybe even point at my ear once or twice to say, “Lishhun too, bruh…”

        I hate that platform so much. I swear most people are operating on half-spent watch batteries nowadays and have just come to accept this crap as passable content.

          Stundents and professionals are outsourcing their critical thinking to ai and it is having a measurable negative impact on their productivity and understanding. Internet brainrot has been around since the first websites. I doubt tiktok is much worse for the kids than aim rooms, myspace, instagram etc. Social media is toxic but i think the brain drain is more likely because our education system in the us is focused on funding over educations and the thechnocrats are pushing ai for everything wikipedia and giving a shit could solve

            I remember at school we weren’t allowed to use Wikipedia, and further “it hurt your ability to actually research issues”.

            Or the internet in general not having to find answers in books.

            The next thing is always the boogyman huh

              Yeah, the issue was that people would just site wikipedia and not bother to learn where the info came from. But if you follow the sources at the bottom of the wiki it can be a very valuable research tool. Localized llms in a library could be used in the same fashion. But when people rely solely on the computer, bad stuff happens

              I remember being told “anyone can edit wikipedia” as the reason it wasn’t allowed. It wasnt a verifiable source. But at least for the most part, they try to remain factual.

              Tiktok is pushing a specific agenda with their algorithm and trying to drive engagement and addiction. They don’t care if what gets put on their platform is true at all.
