Mark Zuckerberg just described the death of human connection on the internet and no one flinched.
One sentence. Fifteen years of erosion in twelve words.
Mark Zuckerberg: “Social media started out as people primarily interacting with their friends. And now… at least half of the content is basically people interacting with creators.”
You used to open your phone to see what your friends were doing.
Now you open it to watch strangers.
You did not choose this. The algorithm chose it for you.
It tested your friends against optimized strangers.
Your friends lost. Every time.
A stranger with better lighting, better timing, and a better hook held your attention three seconds longer than someone who loves you.
So the algorithm buried your best friend’s wedding photos under a cooking video from someone in Dubai you have never met.
And you watched the cooking video.
That was the first replacement. Friends for strangers. You barely noticed.
The second one is already underway.
If the algorithm already proved strangers outperform your real relationships, and AI can now build a stranger more engaging than any human alive, the math finishes itself.
The AI does not have a bad week. It does not post something careless and lose the algorithm’s favor. It does not burn out.
Every word calibrated.
Every frame tuned.
Every pause placed at the exact interval that keeps your thumb from moving.
A human creator competing against that is carving stone tablets in a world that just built the printing press.
The economics are not even close.
A person needs rent, sleep, and motivation.
The machine needs electricity.
When the cost of generating perfect content hits zero, the feed fills with faces that do not exist.
Voices that feel familiar.
Opinions that mirror yours just enough to feel like trust.
Personalities built from scratch to feel like someone you have known for years.
You will not know when the switch happens.
That is the point.
The feed does not care whether the thing holding your attention has a pulse. It cares whether you stay.
And a machine that knows your patterns better than you know yourself will always keep you longer than a person ever could.
This is not a warning. Half of it already happened.
You lost your friends to strangers and did not notice.
You will lose the strangers to machines and call them friends.
Somewhere in a different app, in a different tab, in a room you are sitting in right now, someone who actually knows you is living a moment you will never see.
Not because they stopped sharing it.
Because you stopped being where it was.
Los que crecimos amando a #GoPro nunca imaginamos verla en este punto. Un lanzamiento mal planificado y peor comunicado puede hundir incluso a las marcas más icónicas. Ojalá recuperen el rumbo: la comunidad sigue ahí, esperando volver a ilusionarse.
Menos enlaces, más respuestas. La IA reescribe el descubrimiento: decide antes del clic. Lo llamo “fidelidad algorítmica”: que tu marca sea la respuesta/recomendación cuando alguien pregunta. Claves aquí: https://t.co/1DvvoAXhch #branding#IA#insights
Quizás me hago mayor. Pero me avergüenza la comunicación cruzada de insultos y burlas de colegio entre PP y PSOE en redes sociales. La crítica fácil y la escenificación han dejado a un lado la educación y la buena gestión.

Me ha gustado hoy el rey: templado y valiente, aguantando y dando la cara mientras Sánchez se largaba y a Mazón, como es bajito, no se le veía. Lo que no comprendo es cómo se ha presentado allí acompañado de esa gentuza.
Cuando creamos @somosglowe, lo hicimos con la convicción de que existe una nueva forma de entender el #branding. Desde nuestros inicios, hemos hablado en términos de marca como la diferencia entre existir y significar. Hoy te lo explico con un ejemplo.

⏩ Alsina, sobre la crisis personal de Sánchez:
"No se me apropien de la democracia que es de todos. No es la democracia lo que está en crisis, es Sánchez"
"Tan democrático seguirá siendo este país si el lunes Sánchez se queda como si se marcha"
