Is the intention of social media platforms to addict people or just hook them in the episode 533: Tristan Harris | Reclaiming Our Future with Humane Technology, and in the clip Influencer Society from The State of the World — with Ian Bremmer, as well as in the clip TikTok and Interdependence?
Why would Jordan Harbinger publish an episode of his podcast on the topic of data collection that discusses the negative practices of social media platforms in 862: Targeted Ads | Skeptical Sunday, but then explain that his AI bot literally collects data and provides him analytics and summaries of what people ask it in the episode 1135: Sandra Matz | How Algorithms Read and Reveal the Real You and the clip AI and Intimacy? Does this not strike Jordan as contradictory?
