🤖 Can #Meta really read our minds? Let’s break it down. The #algorithms that run our digital lives are smart, often getting it right because they’re based on averages—on a collective ‘hive mind’ shaped by constant interaction with the platforms themselves.

🧠 This hive mind is a creation of our digital habits, trained by the algorithms to predict and influence our behavior. The catch? These predictions work on a group level, not the individual quirks that make us unique.

📱 Every time we interact with our devices, we’re reinforcing this cycle, essentially training them to keep us hooked. Our ‘likes’, searches, and time spent scrolling are all part of the feedback loop. The platforms aren’t just capturing our attention; they’re shaping our digital behavior.

🔍 So here’s the kicker: by using these platforms and “feeding” them our preferences, we’re not just training our phones—we’re allowing ourselves to be trained, gradually becoming more addicted to the platforms.

✋ But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can reclaim our #DigitalSovereignty and reshape our interactions with technology. By being mindful of our digital consumption, we can break free from the hive mind and restore our individuality online.
