Chris Hayes: 我撰写《塞壬的呼唤》一书，是因为我亲身经历了注意力经济的运作方式，以及它对个人和社会的影响。在有线新闻节目中，我们运用各种技巧来吸引和保持观众的注意力，例如节目的开头设计、屏幕上的视觉刺激以及叙事技巧。然而，由算法驱动的平台与传统媒体不同，它们的唯一目标是最大化注意力，这导致了注意力被过度利用和剥削。此外，互联网将名声的体验民主化并扩展化，导致更多人体验到来自陌生人的社交关注带来的困扰。这不仅影响了个人，也影响了政治和公众话语，例如特朗普和马斯克就利用了这种机制来获得政治权力。尽管如此，我们仍然拥有自主选择权，可以选择减少对社交媒体的依赖，并寻找更健康、更充实的注意力模式。 Tomer Cohen: 我与Chris Hayes的讨论中，我们探讨了注意力经济对媒体和个人产生的影响。我分享了我作为播客主持人的经验，以及如何根据观众的反馈调整内容。我们还讨论了算法对用户参与度的影响，以及社交媒体平台如何利用算法来最大化注意力。此外，我们还探讨了名声的民主化，以及它如何改变了社会等级和地位的追求。最后，我们还讨论了广告技术的问题，以及它如何影响人们的注意力。

He joins Big Technology Podcast to discuss his No. 1 bestselling book, digging into why he wrote it, how news differs from social platforms (and to what degree), and why We also cover the strange psychology of fame, how figures like Trump and Musk weild attention for political power, and why most social platforms are seeing declining user engagement despite their algorithmic optimization. Hit play for a conversation that reveals why our relationship with technology resembles our relationship with food — a biological necessity transformed into an unhealthy craving that reflects deeper voids in modern life.
