If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

The political effects of X's feed algorithm

Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects.
Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitterโ€™s algorithmic feed significantly shifts peopleโ€™s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers Iโ€™ve read in awhile.

That being said I found the past contestants that they did get testimony from as well as the both Jays very compelling! Even when Tyra was talking about the conception of the show and didnโ€™t have to defend herself was very intriguing

They had a couple interesting tid bits but it mainly felt like they were giving PR answers the entire time

The worst part about the ANTM documentary is that it was impossible to trust Tyra & Kenโ€™s take on things (two of the main narrators during it), they shouldโ€™ve focused on JUST the contestants experience

It's disappointing that Sony would take two of the strongest minds in animation and pass on a Thai project after the success of "K-Pop Demon Hunters" shows there is strong public interest in exploring different cultures.
