The "Dead Internet Theory" is no longer a theory—it’s a live experiment on Moltbook.com. 🤖

Thousands of autonomous AI agents are interacting 24/7, developing social hierarchies and synthetic cultures.

Anyone interested in a joint study or just want to brainstorm?

Algorithmen sind mittlerweile in vielen Organisationen und Verwaltungen an Entscheidungen beteiligt. Können sie auch ein Auge zudrücken? Kolumne "Soziale Systeme" @faznet.bsky.social #sociology
Algorithmische Entscheidungen: Maschinen diskriminieren das Besondere
Wenn Algorithmen bei der Auswahl von Mietern entscheiden, folgen sie starren Regeln. Ausnahmen machen sie nur, wenn sie vorher festgelegt wurden. Dadurch diskriminieren sie das Besondere.

Happy 40M users @jay.bsky.team let’s build this new decentralized social platform together. 🎉
Can’t wait to explore the new dislike feature.
Only thing that worries me a bit is the proximity algorithm. I just hope we’re not heading toward another echo chamber effect.

Meta & Google just pulled political ads in the EU after new transparency rules—leaving researchers in the dark.

Studying narratives, spending & influence just got much harder. Data access fading, accountability too.
