I fear for the future of reading comprehension. Before the portion Analog quotes, the article gives people multiple paragraphs of context to understand addiction as what is being talked about. I don't expect the word to be wedged into every sentence about the same topic. Meta's Adam Mosseri was clearly doing everything in his playbook to not use the word "addiction" in a sentence.
And Adam Mosseri knew better. We know he's been confronted with evidence of addiction but doesn't want to listen.
But I do find it much more concerning that Analog appointed himself judge of bad articles, then either accidentally or intentionally omitted the preceding paragraphs that I had to quote for him.
Hopefully Analog returns to Lemmy in far less than 12 days, and heavily edits their comments to reflect their error
He just didn't even mention the word at all.
Did we read the same article? You can literally search for where he uses the word.
If this Instagram guy was as dodgy about defining pedophilia as he was about defining addiction, everybody here would have no trouble identifying him as a pedophile protector
The title is accurate.
He was asked if it was an addiction, and he repeatedly used technicalities and weaseley language to refuse to admit it.
"It's important to differentiate between clinical addiction and problematic use," [Instagram head Adam Mosseri] added.
"I'm sure I've said that I've been addicted to a Netflix show when I binged it really late one night, but I don't think it's the same thing as clinical addiction."
Yet, Mosseri repeatedly said he was not an expert in addiction in response to Lanier's questioning.
Thank you, AI companies. Not only have you monopolized the stock market, you have stifled technological innovation.
People have already been trained to carry surveillance devices in their pockets, all they need to do is add one more sensor. I'm sure grocery stores will find them extra helpful.
The sum doesn't mean anything to Amazon (whether they lose it or gain it), but it probably means a ton to the people they sued.
Borges alleges that a little-known federal tech team called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, copied the government’s master Social Security database into a cloud system that lacked normal oversight.
I don't know if I'd call them a little-known team (they're infamous for basically fraud), but point taken.
In life, grandpa was a racist. In death, grandpa won't stop telling me about Volkswagen and Black Rifle Coffee.
