1074 DANCING FOR THE MACHINES
Manage episode 471125391 series 2498424
In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis dives into how we’re all stuck “dancing for the machines” in today’s digital world. He revisits the idea of social media’s new class system—yep, those hierarchies we thought we’d ditched are back, thanks to platforms like Google and Facebook. Chris explains how the internet started as a free-for-all where anyone could connect, but now, big tech intermediaries call the shots on who gets seen, turning it into an attention economy. To climb the ranks, you’ve gotta grab eyeballs with wild, outrageous content—quality be damned—because algorithms don’t care about merit, just views. He ties in examples like Teleperformance tweaking call center voices for attention, but here’s the twist: Chris sees AI as our way out. By letting AI dig deeper beyond the popular fluff, we might escape the dance and rediscover the good stuff that’s been buried. It’s a call to rethink how we navigate this machine-driven mess!---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com
