Basically, machine learning algos curate more than adds. They try and pick out news stories we are interested in as well as taylor search results using these data. It’s gotten to the point where most of our news feeds are dominated by media and info that meets our confirmation bias. The psychological ramifications are problematic for people that don't realize that social media and personalization services will create an echo chamber


That was my biggest takeaway. This is what is destroying and dividing first world countries everywhere.

People in some countries think Facebook is the “internet”. Similar to the early stages of AOL. Where people still weren’t sure how to use the browser. Kinda why what Google was doing was so groundbreaking. The amount of data stored on the millions of computers in Silicon Valley is mind blowing. They way they speak of these algorithms abd essentially we are looking at the dawn of AI.

Elon Musk has a company called Neuralink. Which is soon starting human trials shortly. Their goal is to insert microscopic fibers into the brain to interface with computer software. The ramifications of this is borderline unethical. Hundreds of years from now the world will look very different. Just look at how far computers have come in out lifetime.
