But David has a higher social media profile than his wife. Does it make you wonder if that's now being considered in "the algorithm"?

- Bud 7y agoNo, since unsupported conspiracy theories don't tend to convince me.
- joezydeco 7y agoI don’t equate hypothesizing the contents of a black box algorithm as conspiracy theory mongery. We’re looking at all possible inputs. To add some anecdata, my relative in the financial software business has been telling me for years that they’ve been looking at mining public social media data to enhance risk management. I wouldn’t put it past Goldman (and their recent push into public banking) to consider this. And the Chinese have just come right out and done it.
- Bud 7y agoOccam's Razor says otherwise. If Goldman is doing this, they would have been caught by now with real data, not some entitled asshole whining about how his wife isn't getting the same exact credit limit as he is. Someone would be citing apples-to-apples comparisons by now. Yet nobody has. Hmm. Gee. I wonder why?
