MSNBC's Chris Hayes Told Me AI Will Radically Change Social Media. Here's How
Woman in her 20s getting ready in the morning, laptop half open, reading text message As social media continues to evolve in how it captures our attention, using an algorithm to make sure we're clicking and scrolling, there is a whole new frontier facing us. In the coming years, one expert told me social media will start to expand beyond doomscrolling to make sure we all stay riveted to content for longer periods of time—even rivaling popular streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu. Chris Hayes knows a lot about capturing attention. He is a former print journalist who now hosts a primetime news program on MSNBC. He has an engaging style on his show and an equally impressive writing style. His book The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource is about battling distractions in life. Hayes offered insights about how social media will continue to evolve—mostly by keeping us hooked to our feeds—that suggest we're in for a wild ride. Early in the book, Hayes writes about how distraction is nothing new. At one time, reading a novel was considered a distraction from real life. Hayes also mentions the advent of radio and television as a serious cause for concern. (I guess we lost that battle. We now watch almost three hours of television per day on average.) With social media, the next phase of distraction—according to Hayes—will not center on capturing attention but on holding and sustaining our attention. We currently spend a little over two hours on social media apps per day, according to recent reports. Hayes says the advent of artificial intelligence might keep us hooked far longer. 'TikTok is probably the most sophisticated in this regard,' he says. 'The model, as I say in the book, is the iterative grabbing of attention for little bursts over and over like the slot machine. One thing I do wonder about is whether AI will get good enough that companies can start to use the experimental method that runs the algorithms to actually make longer form stories.' Hayes described an example where you might be grabbed by a news story or some other piece of content, and then the AI will monitor how users click, scroll, and react. Over time, the AI would then adjust the story, graphics, and even the entire narrative to maximize sustainability. That means social media will not only hook us on content but keep us hooked far longer, perhaps as long as television. Hayes did tell me we're in an interesting phase where there is plenty of AI slop out there and some of that content is not exactly holding or sustaining our attention. We seem to know what AI-generated content looks like when we see an image on Instagram or watch a video on Facebook. Some studies suggest we can identify AI content about 70% of the time. That study is from 2025, however. Recently, new studies are starting to reveal that humans misidentify AI content a little more often and it is going to get worse. Eventually, we don't know the difference. Hayes says this phase of knowing when something is created by an AI might be short-lived as the technology (and the algorithms) improve. 'One obvious way [to sustain our attention] is populating our online universe with 'people' that aren't really people but rather increasingly sophisticated Turing-test-passing bots that are trying to sell us stuff or push some political project,' he explained. When an AI can create content, capture our attention, and then adjust the content based on user reaction, we might all be at the mercy of the bots. As AI improves and social media seeks to steal us away from apps like Netflix, Hayes says the trick is to train ourselves to recognize when we're being sucked into the void. He suggests spending at least 20 minutes per day without any technology—alone with our own thoughts. He also says it's important to avoid isolation. We tend to scroll more (and for longer periods of time) when we are alone and bored, he says. 'Spend time with people you like and love,' he suggests. That might be the ultimate cure. After all, the best way to avoid the allure of AI and social media is to do something so cool in life that you don't even need distractions anymore.

Our 'Most Famous Delawarean' poll is back. Submit your nominations ... now
When Delaware Online/The News Journal launched its first "Most Famous Delawareans" poll in 2018, it made a national splash, landing on "Saturday Night Live," "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," "Conan" and the pages of People magazine. Now it's time for our readers to do it again. Nominations are officially open below with the first round of voting set to begin June 28 with several rounds following before a winner is announced in late July. Even before Aubrey Plaza landed her role on "The White Lotus," the First State's downright lovable actress ran away with our "Most Famous Delawarean" poll, winning 42% of the votes. And the comedian made sure to milk her title for laughs in the years following. On "The Late Show," two years after the poll, the 2002 Ursuline Academy graduate jokingly threatened to sue Delaware Online/The News Journal as she riffed on language used by President Donald Trump after he lost to President Joe Biden. With Biden as the then-president-elect, arguably making him the most famous person in the world, Plaza was not about to give up her title. "I will not concede," the Wilmington native told Colbert. "In fact, I have many lawsuits coming after The News Journal, the Delaware News Journal. So they better watch out and they better count all their clicks. It was an online poll and I want those clicks counted." Three years later, when the former "Saturday Night Live" page got her first opportunity to host the venerable NBC late-night sketch show, her monologue featured the poll. "I was actually voted the most famous person from Delaware. I beat Joe Biden and he was pissed. He was livid," she joked. Plaza then queued up a video clip from Biden himself, and the president did not cast shade on her claims of the crown: "Aubrey, you're the most famous person in Delaware; there's no question about that. We're just glad you made it out of 'White Lotus' alive!'' Even before her nationally televised plugs for the poll, People magazine wrote about the results in 2018, headlined "Aubrey Plaza Trolled Joe Biden on Twitter After Being Named Delaware's Most Famous Person." 'I honestly don't know how I did that! He didn't even make it in the Top 3. And I was trolling him on Twitter!' she was quoted as saying to talk show host Conan O'Brien. 'I was like, 'How did this happen? You were vice president!'" Her Biden troll came when she reposted the results and tagged the then-former vice president, who grew up in Claymont: "What's up @JoeBiden?" While Plaza won the crown, it might come as a surprise that Biden didn't come in second. In fact, he didn't come in third, fourth or fifth either. The future president came in sixth place. Late jazz phenom Clifford Brown (Wilmington) came in second, late former Philadelphia Phillies player and manager Dallas Green (Newport) was third, former WNBA star Elena Delle Donne (Wilmington) landed in fourth place and political commentator Bill Press (Delaware City) rounded out the top five. STRUTTIN' Aubrey Plaza is back on red carpet at Cannes promoting 'Honey, Don't' summer film LETTERS Residents offer support for President Joe Biden after cancer diagnosis The top 10 also included rocker George Thorogood (Brandywine Hundred) in seventh place, political operative and podcaster Dan Pfeiffer (Wilmington) in eighth, actress Elisabeth Shue (Wilmington) in ninth and Heimlich maneuver namesake Henry Heimlich (Wilmington) in 10th place. Who will be in the top 10 this year? It's up to you. Nominations close June 19. Have a story idea? Contact Ryan Cormier of Delaware Online/The News Journal at rcormier@ or (302) 324-2863. Follow him on Facebook (@ryancormier) and X (@ryancormier). This article originally appeared on Delaware News Journal: Can Aubrey Plaza defend her title against Joe Biden in their rematch?
