    Is this how Twitter works now? Someone writes something useful in a decent place, then the first shill summarises, and the second shrill summarises the summary without even making it shorter? It’s like going to YouTube to see a reaction video of a reaction video 🤯🤯🤯 but at least there I know it’s actual people because AI can’t properly fake videos.

      I think this is how Twitter currently works. Users share informative information, than an influencer encapsulates it, while another influencer comes along and encapsulates it again but without reducing the length of the prior encapsulation. It’s roughly analogous to video-sharing platforms and reaction videos, however unlike those we can’t rule out the text isn’t an LLM.

        This is huge. A commenter on Lemmy just discovered this simple hack that has been plaguing social media since the 90s. Read to the end to understand how. So this Lemmy commenter replied to another comment–this is so unchained, this is why I love social media–that was itself a reply to an image of some other replies originally spotted Garfield on reddit. They found that you can get people already primed for scrolling to read pretty much anything as long as you provide an engaging emotional framing for the pointless content.

      Something like half of the US can’t read at a 6th grade level. They cannot read and understand the complex writing at the bottom.

      For short clips, I think that this kind of “this guy said this” content is very achievable for AI - example (tbf this one is still ‘person-based’ as it’s motion capture controlled)
