a lot of people before llms were already subcontracting their thinking to fb, instagram. with boomers mostly exposed to an echo chamber that reinforced their beliefs on fb, then younger people on insta.

to some people - if they didn't see It on insta / fb then it didn't happen.

with meta now pushing 'a.i' content on both platforms the damage from misinformation, fake products etc is incalculable.

that's without taking the effect on children & young adults - mental health.
