Very interesting. We might make real progress as a species if we can leverage this more generally as a society.
Also, I expect the "machines" to disrupt the film industry in a very similar way.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoHow will showing people short video clips to create a drug like drip of enjoyable chemical reactions in the brain progress the species? > (and yes, one feed that contained the thirst trap photos of attractive Indian girls in rather suggestive outfits standing under things like waterfalls; some parts of culture are universal).

Possibly (pure speculation here): if you carefully observe, at massive scale, how a system [1] behaves, it may provide some insights into how it is implemented. And based on those learnings, iteratively improve how the platform feeds tests and analyzes responses to gain deeper understanding of the system over time. [1] In this case, "the system" consists of individual human minds, as well as the overall network of minds.
