From a non-binary feminist perspective, Bastos critiques the social and emotional toll of 'techno-capital-feudalism,' where engagement algorithms foster oppression by inducing exhaustion and fear, resulting in reactive 'algorithmic behaviors' that perpetuate biased social conditioning. These behaviours contribute to violence and societal decay, manifesting in the rise of the far right, overconsumption, resource over-extraction, and climate collapse, all for the profit of a select few. The piece underscores the exacerbation of mental health crises and labour inequalities, advocating for conscious digital engagement, protective legislation, decentralized social media platforms, and fair compensation for unpaid and emotionally coerced "social media labour," particularly in the involuntary training of large language models. 1 reply
