摘要:

我们提出了一个多体理论,解释和再现人口极化动态的最新观察,是由控制人体实验的支持,并解决了围绕互联网的影响的争议。它预测,人口是否以及如何两极分化取决于潜在竞争的性质,而不是个人收到的信息或他们的在线泡沫的有效性。在这个框架的基础上,我们表明,旨在将人们聚集在一起的下一代社交媒体算法可能会导致爆炸性的渗透过程,从而产生新的极端。

英文摘要:

We present a many-body theory that explains and reproduces recent observations of population polarization dynamics, is supported by controlled human experiments, and addresses the controversy surrounding the Internet's impact. It predicts that whether and how a population becomes polarized is dictated by the nature of the underlying competition, rather than the validity of the information that individuals receive or their online bubbles. Building on this framework, we show that next-generation social media algorithms aimed at pulling people together, will instead likely lead to an explosive percolation process that generates new pockets of extremes.
