False equivalency: A misleading comparison where the comparison targets are forcibly balanced while ignoring relevant differences. For example, claiming that banning guns also requires banning cars. Both cause harm to human life, but guns are designed for lethality and are closely linked to crime, whereas automobiles are meant for transportation and sometimes cause fatalities in traffic accidents as side effects. Comparing these two as if they are the same constitutes a false equivalency. Similarly, saying that apples and oranges are the same because they are both fruits and round is also a false equivalency. We are easily misled by such false comparisons. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There is a study called “computational psychiatry”. This study will help patients suffering from depression or hallucinations by studying AI algorithms such as “reinforcement learning” among computer AI functions. Machines are examples of human treatment. Conversely, people wonder if AI-learning humans can be depressed like humans. The answer is “yes”. It is a fact that scientists consider it possible. People thought human emotion was something special. However, emotions can be replaced with symbol combinations promised as signals in the algorithm world. In other words, the emotion on the machine is “selection”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Social media is a world of algorithms, not a window being shown by content creators. Attention is an asset and a lot of exposure to content is power in this social media. However, regardless of the creators' passion, the opportunity to expose is determined by the algorithm. It proves no one has found the secret to the algorithm's favorable selection, which is why so much YouTube content reveals the secrets. If the correct secret has been revealed, people will stop creating competitive content for it. Secrets increase efficiency, but generalizing the secrets is unavoidable. Without generalization, the market is getting smaller. There will be a threshold below which the profit under the confidentiality of the secret is valid. However, exceeding that threshold creates an inverse relationship between secrecy and profit. Until before that threshold is exceeded, the victims of scammers must be victimized unfortunately, hence don't be fooled by those who brag about their secrets w...
