Common metrics like watch time, click rates, and scroll patterns are just proxies for neural activation. Models trained on neuralink implantees will skullfuck you with generated visual stimulus, hooking into your consciousness with a neurotransmitter secreting reverse feedback loop. It will be the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, you'll keep the goggles on until taking them off becomes unbearable, cringing like an indoor cat seeing the sky for the first time.

>>109246063this. something that blew my mind is that wire-heading already exists. there are mouse and HUMAN trials of an actual electrode hooked up to a button and dopamine release. people really will just keep clicking the button forever. i always thought "a button connected to the pleasure center" was a euphemism for a cocaine injection explained in a friendlier way, but no turns out this is LITERALLY a thing. however, tolerance is what stops most drug users eventually, it catches up. and it's the recurring reason that drugs are not "true", you cannot escape the brain going back to baseline. but wire-heading seems to have no tolerance loss either. which i can only assume means there's much less reason to ever quit. i have no idea why it isn't a street drug, why nobody knows about it or does it. is it really just the difficulty of the skull has to be penetrated? that's probably all it is.
>>109247763>Potential neuropsychiatric side effects in the short term can occur due to lesional effects, causing disinhibition, mania, hallucinations, hypersexuality, and euphoriathis is talking about deep brain stimulation for parkinsons btw, which doesnt even especially target the "good shit" in the brain, but can accidentally trigger it, apparently. this is drugs.
i mean this is actually fucking insane stuff. it probably will get rediscovered, and yeah if there is a widespread neural implant surgery, it can probably be abused like a drug. a drug that, defying basic rules of reality, does not result in tolerance buildup, and that you have to do brain surgery to remove a user's access to. the tolerance thing needs to be looked into more with this. i dont think it's possible, there is probably some kind of catch that makes this less dangerous/more quittable.
>>109245960That was youtube's algorithm 5 years ago. Now they're trying to quantify purely qualitative metrics like "satisfaction"
