@nalaginrut responds tothree years “:

Today’s public opinion is wrong to blame everything on the algorithm. It does not believe in probability. These so-called algorithms are based on probability statistics and tell you what your real needs are. With the help of some media, it seems that the algorithm is understood as some kind of mysterious power that changes you in reverse. In fact, the algorithm is just a mirror, showing the self that you don’t want to admit

Understanding “self” and “true needs” as inherently immutable traits independent of any external factors is itself a factual error, but just as important is that we don’t need someone to speak for the design and maintainer of the algorithm. They control the contemporary cultural life, and they also have generous rewards, so they should be strictly monitored by public opinion.
