Hoping they shut down and open source their algorithm. They already released part of it on github, apparently, but I haven’t had a chance to look at it. Would like it if I could somehow use it for a personal Loops server in the future.

Self-hosting your own recommendations would be amazing. I’m on the Testflight waitlist for Loops, hope I can get access soon.

You know what, my friends who are still on it say that their FYP has been getting worse over the past 6 months or so. I wonder if you’re right.

None of them have the algorithm that makes Tiktok’s “For You Page” so attractive to most people. By far the best personalization algorithm of any social media I used during the pandemic. I basically never had to search for content or creators, the algo served me up a platter of people to follow that seemed directly tailored to me. That’s why it’s so addictive.

And that’s probably why American social media giants are salivating at acquiring it. Reels/Twitter/YT Shorts algo doesn’t even come close tbh.

I’m on iOS 18, hmm. Maybe it’s region specific? Or just hasn’t been rolled out to me yet, for whatever reason.

I saw a photo of a father crying over the body of his baby that died of hypothermia. That child didn’t even make it to double digit months lived on this Earth. It was born and died in war.

How the fuck are people allowing this to go on anymore…

Seems like this is on phones that are Apple Intelligence capable?

I’m on a 12 Pro, and I don’t have this option. Guess I’m safe, for now…

think theProud Black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller bit explains perfectly why they released the bots onto the wild.

This was my first thought too. It’s a peek behind the curtain to how “sophisticated” disinformation bots have actually become, and it’s super interesting that there’s backlash to it as most FB users love AI slop.

Maybe Meta’s actually taking it down because they don’t want people to start realizing how much of the social media they interact with is actually AI/LLM/chatbots.

It really is a class war, not a culture war.
