  • Yeah that is the further complication with “the algorithm”, it means different obfuscations in different contexts. Also further is that nearly every type of machine learning or automated process invariably references “the algorithm” or several such manufactured deities which we somehow cannot control or improve meaningfully once deployed.


  • Techfash use of algorithm is absolutely as a condensation of the concept of an unknowable invisible hand that the thought police uses to determine what is fit for you to consume - i.e. they made it, then demonize it because rightwing content is deprioritized because nobody wants to hear that shit all the time. It is at once a method of controlling information, but also a convenient scapegoat for the right to blame their limited reach on and claim as a liberal censorship tool.

    It was not on my bingo card today to witness someone attempt to ascribe legitimacy to intelligent design through application of computer programming concepts but here we are.
