If I manage to demonstrate this phenomenon even in a simple simulated setup, that's already enough reason to be alarmed and to look for better solutions for Reinforcement Learning based Recommender Systems.

It sounds like you're criticizing the simulation research method in general, are you?

2/2

First of all, the focus here isn't on human behavior but on RS behavior. I don't need perfect human modelling (would prefer tho) to show that some RSs (RL-based) tend to manipulate users. They have a clear incentive to do so, and I want to show that they can unnaturally shift user preferences. 1/2

In my thesis I'm demonstrating how certain types of recommender systems have a tendency to change user preferences, to manipulate them. It would be highly unethical to use real humans to show that indeed their preferences can be unnaturally shifted. Simulation-based approach is the next best thing.

Would be interesting to know if LLM would model human decision making better than the Markov Decision Problem -method (or some version of it). Guess I have to find out! Thanks for sharing that literal review 😊

That's very interesting! What led you to this topic? I'm writing my master thesis about manipulative recommender systems and for it I need to make some simulation where I demonstrate the RecSys-human interaction. Haven't yet figured out how to simulate a human user but this could be one way to do it

I'm thinking about switching to Nextcloud, but after 20 years of using Google services it's easier said than done! It's going to be a long process to move all my data...

Although this piece of news made me hopeful:

Maybe if we look at this as an information warfare issue the EU would be motivated to build its own platform?

That is sad, I hope for our sake that you're wrong 😞

Sure, but right now we’re handing all the money and power to Big Tech. Even if funding such a platform didn’t make profits, it would still strip power from those US-based companies and give more room for European ones to thrive. Not to mention how this would prevent them manipulating our discourse.

That’s a fair concern. Maybe the goal shouldn’t be for the EU to run such a platform, but just fund and enable it instead. In order for this to work it must keep enough distance to avoid turning the platform into a tool for surveillance and corruption.

That’s a fair concern. Maybe the goal shouldn’t be for the EU to run such a platform, but to fund and enable open-source public service networks instead.

EU must take a strong stand against surveillance! Until it does, we should stay cautious about handing over that power.

Jep... Yritin selittää miun pennulle, ettei sillä voi olla noin korkeat standardit nappuloiden suhteen, kun se juuri lenkillä oli syönyt kaiken maailman sontaa 🙈 Mut sen mielestä nappuloiden mukana pitää olla jotain extraa että ne kelpaa mut välipalaksi voi syödä vaikka likaisen kengänpohjallisen!

Onko tää sit ehkä jotenki enemmän sukupuoliasia? Meillä kummassakin uusioperheessä katsottiin penkkiurheilua mutta se oikeastaan sai miulle vain aikaiseksi syvän inhon sitä kohtaan. Oli vain yksi televisio ja urheilu meni aina kaukosäätimen valtiaalla kaiken muun mielenkiintoisemman ohitse 😐

Miunkaa korvat ei kestä paljon mitään, mut kirurginterästä ne yleensä sietää. Tosi allergikoille toimii titaani & niobiumi. Netistä voi tilata korviskoukkuja näistä materiaaleista nii voi itse väkertää kauniisiin korviksiin koukut, joita korvat kestää. Mut en oo vielä saanut aikaiseksi...

Nera kohta 7kk onnittelee kotiutumisesta 😊 Jos voisin palata ajassa taaksepäin niin emme olisi ikinä säilyttäneet likapyykkejä tuossa peilikaapissa, koska niiden ansiosta tää mahdoton vintiö oppi availemaan noita liukuovia ja varastelemaan sieltä milloin mitäkin 🙈

Paljon onnea! 🌹

Saving this, thanks! 📌
