citing concerns about national security and the temporary ecosystems within tide pools, Senator Dick Penis stated to the press, "It came out of the ocean onto land. You know what's across the ocean? China. Yeah. That China. Uh huh."

Asked for comment, the extinct fish/amphibian hybrid stated, "Bloop."

the incentive structure of tiktok is simply an accelerated version of that on youtube and instagram, just an absolute firehose of algorithmically optimized nonsense to part attention from everything else in the world. a difference in degree, not in kind

this is the kind of no-win situation that the government is in, these algorithms are an infohazard and at the same time their dopamine input into the users brains are going to make any attempts to ban them unpopular, so the political opposition will find it advocate for the removal of those bans



of course, turning it into a new front of the new cold war with china is a hilariously stupid angle and just demonstrates that the biden administration are cowards trying to outflank the gop on their hawkish attitude towards china. just what we all need. a new cold war as the world burns and seawater rise and hundred-year storms destroy swathes of land

The devil yankee government loves this firehose of poo poo, they just want to control it. It is an amazing propagand tool. Tiktok probably doesn't censor and promote stuff as easily as the American competition.

Anyway, this thread is about the Tiktaalik. I for one sympathise with these magnificent beasts and that is why I support the crusade to keep them submerged, where they don't have to deal with this poo poo. Their wifi is probably so bad they can't even scroll TikTok if they tried.

The chinese government also (rightfully) regulates the owners to tweak the tiktok algorithm to be less addictive, and so the Biden administrations attempts to do so come from the same place.

If the Biden administration wanted to regulate it, they could simply do so. But this kind of regulation is the kind of anti-business ideology that cannot be allowed in the advanced neoliberal hellscape that is the United States. But no, it has to be used as a new front of the cold war, this is in the jurisdiction of the foreign policy blob. In the same way the DoE is fabricating and confabulating and miscontruing evidence that covid came from a lab.

And besides, they don't really need TikTok for american propaganda. The DoD psyops departments are already setting up approvals for using the fancy new neural network tools to algorithmically generate propaganda. Say hello to thousands of accounts with stable diffusion avatars and chatgpt written posts purporting to be from Iran, or Cuba, or China or Mexico, begging the US to militarily intervene.

First the USA government hates algorithms then it loves them. You have the consistency of a semi amphibious walking fish creature. I think you need to get back in the sea too.

my guess is that tiktok tells the US government to gently caress off when it asks for the same kind of user data it gets from every other western-based social media company. every sufficiently-large website is either an intelligence asset or is assigned an agent for contacting the C-suite types

so this is all because it's Chinese owned and they're making all the money, right? if TikTok had even one American investor making huge bank off of it, this wouldn't even be an option.

yeah none of these social media companies “make” anything useful. even the secret scarce advertising is of dubious value. the primary value is soft power/intelligence and the only client for that is superpower spooks
