The Rip CurrentBig Tech Knew It Was Harming Kids — Newly Unsealed Documents Prove ItThis is a massive week for anyone who’s been watching Big Tech’s impact on kids. Internal documents from Meta, Google, YouTube, Snapchat, and TikTok are being made public as part of major lawsuits, and what they reveal is damning.Two themes emerge. First: the business value of kids. A 2020 Google presentation literally says “solving kids is a massive opportunity.” An internal Facebook email from 2016 identifies the company’s top priority as “total teen time spent.” These companies clearly saw children as a pipeline of new users to be captured.Thanks for reading The Rip Curren...

And why do social media and AI seem to make all of this worse?In this episode of The Rip Current, I sit down with Yale psychologist Yarrow Dunham to unpack his many years of research into how humans form groups, enforce fairness, and turn tiny assumptions into lifelong beliefs.

The Rip CurrentAI Isn’t Just a Money Risk Anymore — It’s Bigger than ThatFor most of modern history, regulation in Western democracies has focused on two kinds of harm: people dying and people losing money. But with AI, that’s beginning to change.This week, the headlines point toward a new understanding that more is at stake than our physical health and our wallets: governments are starting to treat our psychological relationship with technology as a real risk. Not a side effect, not a moral panic, not a punchline to jokes about frivolous lawyers. Increasingly, I’m seeing lawmakers understand that it’s a core threat.The Rip Cu...

As a result, Jacob suggests this creates feedback loops of increasingly limited and increasingly short-sighted behavior.
