Facebook helped advertisers target teens who feel “worthless”

arstechnica.com/business/2017/

“Facebook's algorithms can determine, and allow advertisers to pinpoint, ‘moments when young people need a confidence boost.’”

Can estimate when teens feel “worthless,” “insecure,” “defeated,” “anxious,” “silly,” “useless,” “stupid,” “overwhelmed,” “stressed,” and “a failure.”

OK, so there's a startup that developed a Slack bot to "smoothen flirting at work". R U FUCKIN KIDDIN ME.

Thus, welcome to all sorts of shitty sexting, inappropriate invitations and remarks. And since management has authorised its integration to the internal communications tool (Slack), then sexual harassment is bound to grow and thrive.

Hey technosolutionist kiddies, why don't you fucking get a life.

also how it tries to introduce the character to the scene in that is pretty good

the interesting part is that it almost sorta keeps a scene, even if you didn't notice
here's two parts, both highlighting all occurrences of a character's name it finds

i like how neural networks make stuff where like it looks normal if you don't look close enough, but once you do it's just kinda nonsensical

...you know, like when you're dreaming

i actually trained one of those generic torch-rnn networks on my little pony fanfiction just for giggles and uh

it's pretty amazing to read

@ummjackson@mastodon.social @Gargron frankly i think that the admin of a large instance being awful needs a little more careful maneuvering than "just block it"

@Gargron @ummjackson@mastodon.social the flagship instance doesn't really get to shake things up just because people take it as the example and if "the example" does something they dislike for whatever reason, mastodon comes out hurt in the end.

@ummjackson@mastodon.social @Gargron [untagged jec because they just got caught in the middle of this]
the issue is that this isn't how it works
nobody wants to be in the eye of a dogpile tornado where every single user of an instance is upset and yelling
sure, it'd cause Some Noise and Disrupt Those Jerk Admins but like
it's just going to hurt gargron and mastodon in the long run, correct action or not

@ummjackson@mastodon.social @Gargron @jec yeah no i'm not denying that Holy fuck that's terrible and the admin doing that is signs of them probably allowing things that'll go too far, i'm saying the issue is they'll end up nuking a ton of civilians if they just full-out blocks the instance
