Instagram says it will now detect bullying in photos

This is representative of the fundamentally primitive nature of humanity. We are pathetic creatures that aim to bring others down, like crabs in a bucket. We harass and hurt each other insidiously with varying degrees of subtlety.

That we need to rely on technology for such behavioral control is indicative of a broader fundamental issue with the human condition. Take away safe spaces, consequences and so on, and a sufficiently nontrivial subset of humans will revert back to primitive and malicious behaviors.

I’ve found myself to be utterly disgusted by human existence. That such a thing even needs to be built reminds me of why I am glad to have never procreated, for the risks of misery are significant and random. Life is a craps shoot even when the odds are in your favor.

For all of the progress we’ve made as a species, these domestication tactics have ended up making our species more weak.

I do not support these initiatives, but then again I don’t support Instagram fundamentally. Humans will evolve with technology, but I’m afraid we will build in ways to ensure that the weak survive.

While this is probably a good move, the claim that they can detect the generall class of "bullying" is laughable. Bullying is a much more complex issue than just name calling. Name calling is probably one of the easier forms of bullying to deal with as it's obvious and visible.

Not sure how it will detect bullying but it's nice to hear that
