Scrolling in the Dark: From echo chambers to informed views

*** Postponed to a TBD future date
Hosted by Arianna Echanique

You probably have heard knowledge is at our fingertips. 24/7, figuratively and literally. You only need a reliable (spotty could work too) connection to the Internet. And, with the widespread adoption of LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini, we don’t even need to go through a quick Google search. Forget looking for more or contrasting views. Then, there are the social media platforms we turn to for answers, for education. The FYP* we build by engaging with content online. The reinforcing nature of the social media algorithms.

But, how do you decide to trust who you trust? To take their views as your own? What does it even mean to build “FYP”? Is knowledge truly power? How do you distinguish fact from fiction?Scrolling in the Dark: From echo chambers to informed views.How do you consume media?

*fyp stands for “for you page” which is where you access personalized content based on your past interactions with similar online content.
