Core Insights - The article discusses the transformation of mainstream media in the context of a restructured digital media ecosystem, emphasizing the need for cultural interface construction to regain visibility and power against dominant internet platforms [1][3][10]. Group 1: Digital Media Ecosystem Changes - The last two decades have seen a dramatic shift in information dissemination due to the rise of mobile internet, new media platforms, and AI technologies, fundamentally altering the communication landscape and public discourse [2][3]. - Digital media has become a new infrastructure for daily life and societal operations, leading to a decentralized cultural order where traditional media's central role in visibility production has been undermined by algorithm-driven platforms [2][4]. Group 2: Visibility Crisis of Mainstream Media - Mainstream media faces a visibility crisis as it competes with powerful internet platforms that dominate attention organization and visibility production through sophisticated algorithms [5][6]. - The visibility of mainstream media is being systematically compressed due to the concentrated power of internet interfaces, which dictate the flow of information and user engagement [8][9]. Group 3: Interface Power and Cultural Competition - The article highlights the concept of "interface power," where a few organizations control the algorithms and data that shape public attention, leading to a crisis of visibility for mainstream media [5][6][10]. - The emergence of AI agents and social media platforms has created a new form of "digital colonialism," where the control of information and cultural narratives is increasingly centralized [8][9]. Group 4: Strategies for Regaining Cultural Interface Power - Mainstream media must develop new cultural interfaces that emphasize emotional resonance, curation, and public value to reclaim visibility and influence [10][11][12]. - The concept of "singularity" suggests that mainstream media can differentiate itself by producing unique cultural experiences that resonate emotionally with the audience, thus enhancing its visibility [11][14]. Group 5: Evaluation of Systemic Transformation - The effectiveness of mainstream media's transformation can be evaluated through two key dimensions: robustness and connectivity, which reflect its ability to create a stable cultural interface and connect across various platforms [18][22]. - Robustness involves the internalization of cultural interfaces into a sustainable system, while connectivity emphasizes the ability to weave meaningful narratives across diverse platforms and contexts [22][26].

Group 1 - The core concept of digital life represents a new life form created by the digital technology complex, leading to significant changes in the basic forms, existence modes, practices, and value standards of human natural life [3][4][5] - The most essential feature of digital life is the ability to transcend the physical understanding of life, with accounts becoming the basic form of digital existence, reshaping human perceptions of social relationships and the meaning of life [3][5][6] - Digital life embodies a dual expansion of life forms and concepts, emphasizing emotional value and uniqueness as the standards of value pursuit [3][4][8] Group 2 - The emergence and evolution of digital life are crucially influenced by the dominant technologies of the digital age, such as the internet, mobile communication, and artificial intelligence, which have significantly impacted individual life content and experiences [4][5][6] - Digital life signifies a transformation from "carbon-based" to "silicon-based" existence, allowing social practices to unfold in a larger digital space, liberating the understanding of life [5][6][7] - The concept of "digital person" is closely related to digital life, representing a complete imitation of life by digital technology, distinguishing it from the discussion of digital life based on natural life [7][8] Group 3 - Digital life leads to a profound change in the perception of relationships, providing a historically rich domain of connections due to the intervention of digital technology [8][9] - The understanding of life processes and meanings is being redefined, with discussions around digital immortality and the impact of intelligent technology on perceptions of death [8][9][10] - Digital life emphasizes the pursuit of uniqueness and emotional experience, with the digital environment facilitating the realization of these values [9][10][11] Group 4 - Digital life values uniqueness and emotional experience, with the pursuit of "peak experiences" becoming a significant aspect of its value system [15][16][17] - The realization of digital life values occurs through self-narration and curated lifestyles, where individuals construct their social images and identities in the digital space [17][18][19] - The aesthetic of new life emerges as digital life transcends physical limitations, allowing for a richer construction of identity and experience [23][24][25] Group 5 - Digital life represents a form of "super life," detaching from physical identity and consciousness, leading to a liberation of life concepts [25][26] - The cultural implications of digital life create a "super culture," where the boundaries between culture and non-culture dissolve, enriching the cultural resources available in the digital space [26][27]
