I believe one of the challenges facing modern societies is being influenced by these kinds of rando bloggers. (I totally ripped Cunt Yarvin to shreds with AI before, pretty sure there's the screenshot somewhere.. Later.) Those who aren't easily brainwashed don't even bother reading such shallow armchair sociology/philosophy books. They read more fundamental works instead. For Silicon Valley to regain the INNOVATION it had in the past, I mean, before the PayPal Mafia took over, it needs to break free from this unpleasant circle of humanities cosplay fake (self-proclaimed) "intellectuals". As someone from a STEM background who performed significantly better in the field of humanities, I want to say this: don't need to be swayed by the salesman-like eloquence of humanities/liberal arts majors. WORDS ARE EASY and they cannot normally accomplish anything practical in the STEM field. I hope the real nerds, the ones who major in STEM and are genuinely happy pulling all-nighters for research in labs, reclaim their rightful position. Not these *influencers* who leech off their connections with tech billionaires. I'm not just talking about this author, but about that entire circle full of fraudsters. If we expand further, it all traces back to Peter Gay, the root cause of this misguided roadmap for the tech world. I’m fortunate that I already developed personal perspectives in my childhood, shaped by self-learning across all kinds of fields, to the point where I am not influenced by these kinds of superficial book sellers. Meanwhile, I am deeply ashamed to have been born into an era where this bunch of obvious bullshit is sold as books rather than casually discussed with friends at the pub and this is what is called humanities or sociology.
It seems true that Google is voluntarily censoring itself regarding Trump..🤔 Look at this. First of all, it took me quite a while just to google this infamous *fuck* photo. (Isn't it almost like his signature photo?😧) Even after using Google Lens to find a higher quality version, look at the poor results.😂 Since I don't tailor my searches to my native language, it's funny that one of the few search results is from KoreaTimes.🤣 Not a single major newspaper familiar to Americans appears. Perhaps the media have already been self-censoring before Google. I’m not sure if this is really Big Tech and the media bowing to the Trump administration or, as I wrote the other day, an effort to block AI learning. Checked if it was influenced by legal restrictions like CA's AI regulation bill last year, but it seems unrelated to the law that public news article photos of celebrities aren't searchable. If that's the case, flattering photos of Trump shouldn't be searchable either.🤭 "Results for people are limited"? Since when?🥴 What a cowardly excuse bullshit. Well, it might just be a coincidence, and the results could vary depending on the region or situation, but anyway, the biggest change I’ve noticed in my googling experience compared to before is with image searches. If I missed any news or if there's a new regulation I don't know about, someone please reply. But it's unlikely that this note will be read by Nostr users.😑 image
The case of accessing via the Primal web: Who determines Trending 24h? There shouldn't be anyone manually manipulating the algorithm here, so it's likely that notes from users with many followers or connections to named users get more reactions and rank higher. (In the case of bots, even with many followers, interactions with actual human users are rare, so they wouldn't rank as high.) However, there's an effect where only the notes of the same users get amplified continuously, meaning you see the same things all day long. It gets tedious, so when I switch to the Latest tab, it doesn’t work. It just stays in infinite loading mode. But today, I happened to notice on a browser where I wasn’t logged in that there was no problem seeing new notes from random users in real time! I usually use the nos2x Chrome extension for auto-login. Could this be the problem?? I want to see more various notes from various users! 😫
