WTF is wrong with people?
Between Bitcoin, more invasive social media, Twitter - all of it just needs to go.
And this CEO is shady at best, an average can be skewed by just a handful of data points.
Furthermore, the issue isn't the consent aspect of the platform - it is the fact is used by the Chinese government to harvest data on American users and utilize that data to manipulate their minds, the same way Russia did with Cambridge Analytica.
Delete the app, go and breathe some fresh air, and live your life.

This is also why the app needs to suck up so much data about you. Who you are what you do where you go how you interact with the device.

nope, they are unequivocally nondeterministic.
simple proof? submit the exact same prompt twice. you don't get the same output. You would if the system was merely chaotic, because the input is exactly the same.
Therefore there must be an element of randomness in there

The dreaded granma/granpa takeover. Soon the kids will move on to the next platform, and TikTok will be homebaked cookies only.

Doesn't help if information is contextual. E.g. if I say, sun rises from east. That's a statement with context "on earth, as far as humans notice from earth". Sun doesn't rise at all if context is changed to "in space".
We can solve "trustworthy sources" issue. We can't solve contextual errors. That's why legalese is so long winded. At least, for now, context will always be an issue for these AI programs. Maybe some day we will figure out how to code context, but it is definitely not happening right now.

Well, being in beta doesn't mean it can't spread misinformation. If I say something deliberately wrong, I will also be spreading misinformation.

I know a couple of 50+ YOs that got completely absorbed by TikTok. Like, leave their jobs and "work" on TikTok fame full time. They're now estranged from all their friends and, for all I know, family.
And these numbers ain't precisely going up either.

Its because it has an amazing algo that does this for you. Its so stupid when people post that its teenagers dancing. I haven't seen that in years. All you do is swipe past one of those videos fast or click and say dont show content and it never does again. They know what you want.

Very mature comment. Do you have any evidence for your claims, then?
