Miscellaneous Talk-My Ignorance and Fear of Algorithms

When we feel that something is wrong, but we don't have the courage to raise it, because we only rely on intuition and feel that there is a problem, but because of the lack of so-called quantifiable data, we keep silent, thinking that we can wait and see, but it is very difficult. Maybe things got out of hand.

In recent years, I think the online world is addictive and hidden, and it is not difficult to see bowheads wherever you go. It's become the norm to never leave the phone, and work and meetings are all about Whtsapp zoom and smartphones. Social Media is more like a shadow, a mark like a seen, and it is pressing people to socialize to respond all the time. It is unprecedented to conduct social activities so frequently every minute and every second, but the content is extremely poor, and sometimes the amount of information It even made me wonder how I applied for a mailbox, and then the mailbox kept receiving letters, and then I kept opening and replying. This new world dominated by algorithms seems to bring people closer, but at the same time it is socially fatigued. What's more, the information seems to be circulating, but it is not really so, and then unknowingly intensifies the division, opposition and duality of the society, and the most anxiety and fear is that I begin to doubt whether the truth does not exist and what is the truth. Woolen cloth? What is fake?

In order to return to the real world, I started to stay away from Facebook, reduce my browsing time, and delete a lot of unfamiliar friends. In addition to using less Facebook, I even used a traditional phone to see my life after disconnecting from the online world. how would it be.

One of the reasons why I deliberately stay away from social media is that I don’t want to hide behind the screen to be a human being, and I don’t want to feel the same warmth because of your one-half like. social media, to see other people's social activity updates and life, in fact, we don't need to record even a meal, it is such an empty life that we need to get the attention of others in the virtual world all the time. Real interpersonal relationships should not be like this. The relationship between people should not be established in such a profound way and platform. We acquiesce to this kind of mistakes and will eventually lead to harm, and this harm is The trust between people is getting lower and lower, and there is no trust at all.

Living in the online world for more than ten years, how many people have ever experienced no one like a post and wondered if what they said was disapproved? Is your judgment incorrect or even non-mainstream? Or maybe it's going through right now.

Aside from that, here's one thing that bothered me recently, I got fed Facebook Sotheby's auctions, and I figured it was because I stopped in front of the Chanel jewelry store three days ago, and at the time I opened a location to do some things. , I wish I was overthinking it, but I do notice that every time something is mentioned or even viewed, it shows up on Facebook suggest every few days. Many people say that artificial intelligence is the future. I want to say that it has already arrived, but we do not have the ability to control this technology, because most people don't even know what it is, and they just keep using it happily. Just think about the beginning of our connection to the Internet every day, which webpage we have been to, which page we have stayed in, which picture we have seen, how long it has been, and so on. What gave me, and then these data created a huge network array, constantly recommending more related information for me, trapped me, and this network array was large enough that I could believe it.

Let me use a simple example to talk about the fear I feel. In the past, when we went shopping for clothes, the clerk would have to open the chat box with you after entering the store, and then explore the color and style of the clothes you intend to find. . We use observation and conversation to find out whether the person in front of us is credible and reliable. We will combine our past experience to establish a relationship with the clerk to see if we can continue to communicate, but this is no longer the case at all. Computers, but we can be called not even communicating with computers, we are just receiving blood transfusions in one direction.

In the past, when we bought a piece of clothing, the store clerk might also lobby to recommend some styles to you that you never thought about in the past, but not now, a bunch of data will fully disclose your preferences and habits, and then the algorithm will take the initiative Selling what you like, what you like, what you are interested in, we will never see anything else without knowing it. The most horrible thing is that we think it is the result of our own active search.

I am very skeptical that the online world and the real world are starting to overlap more and more, because most people are unaware of the seriousness of these harms. As simple as YouTube, when there are some sensitive topics, pictures, and content in traditional TV, it is necessary to type P guidelines, and at the same time, it is regulated by the Broadcasting Authority. It is zero regulation and zero supervision. At the same time as technology develops, relevant laws have not kept pace with the times.

The generation of artificial intelligence has arrived, and it has long been in our lives. Every industry needs to understand and understand. If we only stay in traditional application thinking, it is unprecedented to ignore the speed and breadth of information transmitted by the Internet. The ability to digest information simply cannot catch up. One day, we will be completely controlled by technology and will kill ourselves.
