same here. It used to be on the right side of the screen only, but now some of them appear on people's timeline as well. If you like someone's recent posts you will start seeing more of what they comment on other random posts. It makes me reluctant to comment anywhere as well because of this.
I would really like an option of hiding "things my friends liked". I constantly click on "Hide this post" to see if the algorithm can learn from that, but it doesn't happen.
Hide the source. "Mary liked this" hide all from HuffPo, "Steve liked this" hide all from Energy Crystals Whatever, "Joe liked this" hide all from Sue McWhoever (you've never met her anyway).
My feed is much more manageable since I started hiding just about all the pages, leaving it pretty much solely picture and text posts of people I know.
I'd do that, but it would be a battle fought daily, one at a time, against individual friends of friends you never met... A "Hide all posts from friends of friends" option would be great but not that interesting for Facebook.
It actually is pretty effective. I went through an unfollowing frenzy a couple weeks ago and my feed became far less cluttered since. I'm glad Facebook is making some adjustments, because absent aggressive unfollowing the news feed became even more of a waste of time than it already was.
By simply posting about learning and building AI related projects, he will do more for the progress of AI than his actual work will. It will inspire students to switch focus/specializations and bring more people into the field.
