i know it is bit off topic and on 1am, but i did wonder a lot about "antisocial media" "game" . Idea is, our use of internet stagnated. while it is sure not an end to possiblities. So we already know social media do not work as expected, and let's ignore why for sake of keeping it short. So why not trying a platform which isolates users instead of connecting them ? Implementation could be as follows: Users interact only with a kind of machine learning construct, which emulates conversations and avatars , yet by design it is not "real" there is no way to send messages to anyone "outside" with direct result. Yet, the model accumulates and organizes knowledge, a bit like a mind map, but without arbitrary rules. Now such models could share knowledge with bigger models and p2p , but again, not by simply dumping the knowledge out, but by using methods like f.e. socialist millionaire protocol. this seemingly isolating method, no matter how hard we try, will inevitably lead to exchange of data, yet it is not possible to fish for data in bulk that way, and also to inject the data with predictable outcome. Point of why it is worth trying is - why not. if it will fail, it might fail in interesting way, inspiring, bringing knowledge and inspiration from sources we least expect, breaking cognitive dissonances and increasing intimacy (there is no point in building fake self profiles as models are never "published", only mismatching, novel data can be "dreamed" back into nourished model ) Also destructive personalities will have little use of such a system as the main thing one interacts with is a mirror, either with positive or negative transference, but it's quality and consistency depends on user's nourishing skills . In other words it is only themselves they can destroy in the process . Hope it makes sense Greetings!
