Introducing: The Interface - What goes on in TikTok's Farlands?

Hello and welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service. I'm Nicky Wolff, one of the co-hosts of The Interface, the BBC's fiercely informed, fast and funny take on how technology is changing everything. Each week we unpack the tech news stories that matter, whether they shook a government, broke the internet or quietly tipped the balance of power. Find us wherever you find your BBC podcasts.

Yleensä näiden suunnitelmien suunnitelma on vain hieman ylöspäin. Se on se, mitä se on. Se on se, mitä se tarkoittaa.

The thing that excites me as much as the phenomenon of the content itself is this has all happened before. This is an evolution of a genre that's as old as the internet itself. And this concept of creepypasta goes back to

Places like 4chan and something awful. These are like old internet forums that had a certain series of criteria that made them really fertile breeding ground for trolling and a lot of kind of horrible stuff, but also this really new and collaborative creative process that

was I found fantastic. And the aesthetic is exactly the same. Like it's very, very... Whether it's intentional or not kind of pays homage to... The old internet forums. The old internet forums. So the point is that these...

Memoja ja näitä tarinoita ja estetiikkoja ei välttämättä pysy internetissä, pysy paikoissa, joissa ne on tehty. Voitte kuunnella, että viime viikolla tuli suuri horrorimovili. Se on ollut todella, todella hyvin saavutettu. Se on nimeltään The Back Rooms. Se on perustunut memeihin, jotka aloittivat 4chanin ja muiden horrorimemeihin.

Jos olet kuullut Slendermania, niin olet varmasti kuullut sen, koska se oli todella huono yllättäminen koulussa Wisconsinissa, jossa nämä naiset, jotka uskaltavat, että tämä monsteri antoi heille tarkoituksia, yllättäminen yllättäminen koulutuksesta, todella huonoa, suurta uutta, vaikuttaa tällaiseen maailmanpanoon, että tämä monsteri oli...

Internet-trollit, olivatko he yrittäneet saada ihmisiä tappamaan ihmisiä niin, että media ei ymmärrä kulttuurin. Mutta kun tappi tapahtui, taiteilijat, jotka yhteistyössä olivat Slanderman kanssa, ajattelivat, että he olivat saaneet todellisen monsteraan. He olivat todella, todella rauhoittuneet siitä, että he olivat...

put this thing out into the world that had become bigger than the sum of its parts. That they had collaborated to create something that had taken on a life of its own and was doing things out in the world that no individual was in control of. I thought that was really, really interesting when I was back and covering that. But it was part of a new phenomenon from the internet

of this kind of evolutionary collaborative art. And that's what the Far Lands really reminded me of. So given what you were saying, Nikki, has there been impact, either negative impact or positive impact, that has come out of Far Lands? So Far Lands, while it's kind of going mainstream now, as Tom was saying, it's still kind of early...

Tällä prosessilla on joitain järjestyneitä teemoja, joita voidaan todennäköisesti nähdä yhdessä, ja joita voidaan vaikuttaa tällaiseen elämään, mutta se on semmoinen primordiaalinen järjestyne. Mutta se, mikä on erilainen, on se, että tässä on jotain, joka on myös rebelliini alkuperäisestä algoritmista.

The Documentary Podcast
Introducing: The Interface - What goes on in TikTok's Farlands?

You mean like algorithmic curation? Algorithmic curation, exactly. The fact that you have to share and be in the know of some of these kind of codes and numbers. And now that it's kind of gone mainstream and that's no longer the case, and if that rebellion is over, what happens next? What happens to the people who have gone into it as creators with this kind of sensibility and aesthetic? Where do they take their art creation experience?

I love that. Makes me actually want to go on the internet again, guys. Yeah, seriously. Maybe you should make a TikTok account there. I kind of want to... What's the name of the AI monster? Loab? Loab. Yeah, Loab. Can we call Loab into... Can we summon her? I don't know if I want to call her. She seems bad. Yeah, I mean... Loab is actually me. I'm at the end of the AI generator. It makes so much sense. At the end of the generator.

Se on todennäköisesti siksi, että se, että joku saa falsi-politiikkaa, joku, joka käyttää AI, on huonompi käsitys kuin jos jotain loppuu, joka on AI. Se on se, mitä heillä on. Se on se, mitä heillä on.

Niin. Ja se on tavallaan yksityiskohtainen rauha. Aiemmin LLM-kirjoituksissa se tuli kuitenkin tiettynä kuin TEL. He käyttivät M-kirjoituksen, joka on suurin kirjoitus. Ja se tuli melkein kuin jatkuvan jokaisen, että jos jotain on M-kirjoituksessa, niin se olisi AI-generoitu. Ja oli paljon kirjoittajia, joilla oli niin, että me käyttivät M-kirjoituksen.

position in our careers where we can demonstrate when it comes to it, we can fight back. If that's our exam results and we're all school kids, there's not really an appeals process for that.

going to start prioritizing methods like in-class debate or quizzes or conversation within the class as a better means than the essay of testing level of education. So maybe it's just simply the essay that's kind of had its time and teaching will go in other directions and

The Documentary Podcast
Introducing: The Interface - What goes on in TikTok's Farlands?

Obviously that's more difficult in education systems from lower economic backgrounds, where you tend to have bigger classes, and it's much harder to teach in that kind of way. But I think the system has to change in some way, because you can't just have these robots trying to detect these other robots, because either way the students are losing out.
