A critique of a large UK social media study that suggested measures like social media bans are unlikely to have an effect on teens' long term mental health (Casey Newton/Platformer)

What a big study of teens says about social media — and what it can’t
The “moral panic” framing misses how platforms actually harm kids. PLUS: Newsom investigates TikTok over Trump, and the Clawdbot frenzy

Executives don’t want to just sell juice. They want to empower you with an agentic, customizable, and seamless juice experience.
But no one has stopped to think about what any of that actually means. Before designing a "solution," you need a good, *shared* problem definition. If the beautiful clarity within the design team shatters on contact with any handoff, you didn't finish the job.

Your problem framing is sabotaging your strategy
Skipping to designing the solution before you have adequately designed the problem is not speeding you up, but slowing you down.

"When every student in a class processes information through the same language model, they are learning to reason through the same system. This introduces a new threat vector on the developing mind.
The model's statistical biases become the student's default framing. The model's reasoning structure becomes the student's reasoning structure. LLMs homogenize not just language but also perspective and reasoning strategies. "

Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them.
Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.

I’m a bit concerned that the OP’s framing takes scenario 1 as a given (or at least is likely to be understood that way). The history of the current AI bubble is full of warnings about AI that are secretly •advertisements• for AI, and I want to be careful not to fall into that trap.
(I doubt that’s the OP’s intent! But regardless of intent, it’s a danger, something to watch out for.)

Enjoying the framing of Le Carré's Agent Running in the Field, where it's clear from the beginning that the main character has already confessed his sins to 'the Office'.
I did pause reading once I saw how it might all end in calamity, but I'm glad I picked it back up #Bookstodon #LeCarré #AmReading

"Politische, öffentlich ausgetragene, ausgewogene Diskussionen in sozialen Medien sind heute weitgehend unmöglich. Es besteht jederzeit die Gefahr, dass solche Debatten von gut organisierten Aktivisten gekapert und durch massenhaftes, systematisches Framing thematisch beherrscht werden. Als einzelner dagegen anzudiskutieren ist sinn- und wirkungslos."

Encouragement boosts people’s likelihood to take climate action
Framing climate action as “doing more good” instead of “doing less bad” makes people more willing to act and feel better about it, a study finds.

Another Western influencer has once again taken up the tired habit of recycling bourgeois narratives about Otto Warmbier and the DPRK. These discussions rarely move beyond ideological framing, serving more to reaffirm Western imperialist talking points than to uncover truth.
When Otto Warmbier was returned to the United States in a coma, his parents refused to permit an autopsy, effectively blocking a conclusive medical investigation into the cause of his condition. Even without verifi…

Hierarchy and Egality in South Asian Traditions
What roles do ‘hierarchy’ and ‘egality’, as values and practices, play in the everyday lives of South Asian traditions? Hierarchy as a value in the social life of Hinduism has been much discussed. Scholarship has tended to contrast a transhistorical Hindu hierarchy with egalitarian elements of Muslim, Christian, Buddhist and Sikh thought in South Asia, framing ubiquitous caste-like social forms among the latter traditions as anomalous. Yet careful studies of everyday life in the religio…

A useful tidbit that stood out to me in this article:
“Noem [by lying] is training and testing the MAGA base”
Huh − “training and testing”
There’s a dance here: the regime is training its supports in how to think about and talk about current circumstances — but also testing the waters, seeing what sticks, what they’re willing to believe. Recognizing this as a bidirectional dance seems useful. Framing it as “training” instead of “telling” seems useful. Recognizing it as “testing” seems useful.

If you're in #tech and struggling to figure out what your career look like now — this piece is my answer. You've heard "it's here to stay" or "it's better than nothing."

See what is happening, not what is supposed to happen
The stories we are telling around user research and LLMs have locked us into a doomed framing. Reject the very notion that it is "better than nothing."

Gestern eine Doku über die 70er gesehen und mich an die Angst der Zivilbevölkerung erinnert. Seitdem verstehe ich wieder noch weniger, warum #linksextreme Gewalt so verharmlost wird.
Aber ich ahne, warum gerade junge Menschen, die dank unserer "sendungsbewussten" Journalisten und der vielen Schulausfällen wieder vermehrt auf dieses Framing hereinfallen.

Selbst wenn so eine Frage rhetorisch gemeint sein sollte - was sie hier nicht ist - beinhaltet dieses Framing "vielleicht hat Trump ja doch an einigen Punkten Recht. Das nehmen wir für uns zum Anlass zur eigenen Recherche." eine massive Normalisierung des Absurden und Gefährlichen, die hier ohne Not vollzogen wird.
Jemanden, der permanent lügt und offensichtliche Fakten zu seinem eigenen Vorteil frech wegleugnet, kann man nicht mit "Hat er recht?" zum Aufhänger eine…
