It's hard for outsiders to quantify the horrific or fraudulent social media content.

Well:

Meta shows an "estimated 15 billion 'higher risk' scam" ads with signs of fraud daily.

"Meta earns about $7 billion in annualized revenue" from this scam ad category www.reuters.com/investigatio...

😭 just dumb things that I haven’t even touched in real life, I don’t even know if they are real!

will update in a month if this was the biggest mistake of my life. For now… feeling the shame of the very obvious dumb thing that I did.

It started off at really low numbers, 1-10$ max.

And suddenly I’m bold enough to go for $300? $500? More??!

I don’t even spend that kind of money on the regular. What was I thinking?

And I wasn’t. Just my lizard brain wanting to win.

& I won, at what cost?

The worst part?! I feel like I should know better. Gambling, bidding, etc and designing a tool that feeds into addiction and adrenaline?

I should know better

I am writing this from the floor. I am so so so dumb.

When you fuck around you truly find out. 🥲

I even bid on an item I didn’t want?? Accidentally??? How did I even do that? I’m still winning and I feel eternal shame. Shame purchases.

Bidding is so not for me. Got into a bidding war cause I was certain I was destined to lose, and won instead. I got a genuine thrill for the chase! Then buyers regret immediately.

I don’t know how people do it.

Think l’ll be abstaining forever. Lol. I don’t have what it takes and that’s ok.

I’m struggling to celebrate, just holding my breath

You will never be able to make "data driven" decisions until you realize just how much your decisions are driven by emotions: fear of missing out, defensiveness of your favorite idea, apprehension over something unusual.

That's because there's no such thing as "the data" - only interpretations.

AI is not your therapist. Speaking to your AI tools in confidence does not mean that it will keep your words in confidence. It has no obligation to protect your privacy because it is an unregulated tool. Everything you say is being monitored. Your data then becomes everyone’s business.

can I do that if I’m not a software developer or do I need a title first?

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

As soon as I spot AI writing my brain shuts off 😭 I can’t do it anymore

Back to LinkedIn, I wonder how many jobs advertised are fake? How many people have been scammed ?

All our social media sites have been infiltrated by bots, most comments we see are becoming bots trying to rage bait or push for engagement… I wonder how long it will take for all of us to just leave social media to bots entirely, just a bunch of rage bot farms fighting each other while we live

I wonder how many accounts on LinkedIn are bots…

Agreeeeee 😭

The fact that we are about to design for AI and robots instead of people in the current / near future is freaking me out a lil

Happy to help ☺️

on another note, I wish to be by the sea. It’s criminal to live this far from the sea during the summer.

The only thing that lowers my heart rate in an open office (where some decide to have loud remote meetings without headphones) is this playlist lol

I can’t… every time I hear that phrase I die a little inside

I think the mental gymnastics of fitting data and cherry picking to support your order is straight up propaganda lol. If you decide to run organizations in this authoritarian matter, just be aware of the trickle down effects of this type of system. Jaded employees, politics, no trust…

Fear based decision making tends to create a culture of intense risk aversion, dim on creativity, and overall fatigue. We all suffer when data, experts and advise are not taken into account in decision making, and are made to fit into the order top down.

"Be kind to yourself and hard on the system."

All we can do is alarm: AI will not save us. AI has limitations. AI cannot replace us.
