New analysis finds TikTok "systematically boosts" Mamdami over Cuomo
medium.com/@dodeles/bey...

Last time someone looked at this, TikTok was found to "boost" Republican content. But what does it mean for an algorithm to "boost" content anyway?

Our team is building open algorithmic feeds for ATProto. The big bet here is not that we can make something radically better than the platforms, but radically more collaborative. We're building tools for everyone to experiment with the problem. And choose what they like best from the results.

this is how youre meant to watch succession btw
Yeah, I would be shocked if it weren't a subtle or not at all subtle issue with wording or people getting a free bag for clicking fast or similar.

It could be true but "From the academics at the lays pr team" gives almost negative evidence for it.
I can understand "society is fucked" -- like ya -! and so I get it, but the potato company pr team does not do meaningful science and (hint) probably wants to get this headline lol
Do I trust the construct validity of the lays pr or marketing department or whatever else? Lmao what
Like mostly this is a bit but there are people who breathlessly believe this survey, one step sideways of not knowing if potato chips come from potatoes.

Doing surveys is hard & they very likely asked slmething like "real potatoes" and some people said "fuck you, idk" given what pepsico is...
The meta spooky thing about this is some people immediately *actually* accepting that this survey is validly measuring "does the population know that potato chips are made from potatoes" and not, obviously, something else.
You know what I don't think this is a Lay's problem
Apropos AWS today, my semiannual "we should have more than one (1) website."

the only big AI lab whose employees you regularly see publicly arguing to repeal women's suffrage is xAI. at this point anyone who survived the initial exodus(es) is really suspect to me
Not a credentialist take: ask "what does this person bring to the table that any random person pulled off the street could not get in two google searches" and if the answer is nothing, they either need to do a lot of google searches and reading or they shouldn't be the one writing the article
Obamacare was not enough to make US healthcare good but it has saved many many lives so "graph with two lines" from a film major writing for the nyt is a bit demoralizing
Open for cursed knowledge
Film degree from Tufts (class of 2016) lol
They should make a button you can push after you click to add alt text that tries to fill it in for you that you can then edit.

damn, TIL my favorite bluesky feed is being run on someone's gaming pc lmao
For You will be down for a few minutes.

I need to reboot the pc because Ubuntu updated nvidia drivers and I can no longer play games. That's one downside of serving the feed from your home pc.
