Training Social Media Algorithms Part 1

One of my recent obsessions has been to manipulate my own social media algorithm to produce a desired output. I’ve run the test many times across multiple platforms with multiple accounts. Sometimes the test accounts are sandboxed, sometimes they are not. What is really interesting is the information that leaks around the edges. Could be something tracked, but more likely it’s an echo of the subconsciousness.

Truly mind-bending stuff, which harkens back to Berkley. If you’re old enough you remember the joke, and if you’re not… oh well. Not going to hold your hand.

“And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.” - Nietzsche

I asked the question

How would a TikTok clone built on the AT protocol work?
