I am sick of being controlled by algorithms.
@killyourfm have you tried being controlled by fate ?
@killyourfm But isn't DNA an algorithm?
@xpil @killyourfm Only to the same extent that the Universe is the Earth. (Our knowledge of DNA is about as finished as our knowledge of our ancient history.)
Even scarier - the algorithms in our brains we've yet to reverse engineer.
@killyourfm you're not controlled. But what you are exposed to is a majority not of what you wish.
@killyourfm I'd just like to interject for a moment.. 
What you're referring to as "algorithms" are really machine learning agents, or as I've recently taken to call them "Big Tech's glorified AIs".
No one *programmed* them, they have been *trained* to cater to your deepest and worst instincts. Just like you train your dog to sit.
That difference doesn't make you less vulnerable, but I think it's an important one to make. Especially since dogs do not always behave.
@killyourfm Why do the algorithms control us? Shouldn't we control the algorithms?
