I like watching it in action. I don't know what the hell is going on, but it gives me a strange kind of peace, and if you stare at it long enough, you trick yourself into thinking that it makes some kind of sense.

Maybe they were unable to iterate past smartphones due to a six second —

Well; he's right.

Buy good enough hardware and play some old music and it sounds old.

On plateau tier stuff, you just hear whatever it is. Including if the mastering was crap.

The ultimate prank

I think there's a tangible difference between entertaining and addicting, with a detriment to the consumer.

If you think about something like slot machines, and gambling addiction, many people are addicted, losing money, and can't stop:

Arguably, addiction is bad and should be regulated (see: cigarettes).

The detriment instead of money (in this particular case) was teens' mental health, and from what I can recall, the algorithm was explicitly predatory and would serve them up advertisements for things when it detected low or turbulent emotional states, encouraging them to keep using the application and feeling shitty about themselves.

Meta was given a slap on the wrist, it's a fine of $300M ($0.3B) on a company sitting on $217.24 billion.

I doubt they'll change their behavior but legal outcomes are about setting precedents.

I'm surprised to see this truth known on the Internet, I guess Lemmy actually is smarter than most other social media out there :o

Oh my god the artifact actually works, I've gotta inform the high command
