- colordrops 5y agoYes but the servers that software that use these algorithms are perfectly capable of including business logic for warning and communicating.
- remram 5y agoAlgorithms do whatever humans program them to do, which can be delete, warn, email, slack, or call phones.

I think it's worth noting that algorithms like these are deployed specifically to take employees out of the loop, and adding a communications step would almost certainly pull them back in.

- colordrops 5y agoCommunicating which rule the video broke could be done without an employee in the loop.

Potentially, though another consideration the algorithm implementers have is to make it difficult to "game" them. If it provides feedback, you make it easier for someone to figure out what will slip through and subvert the it.
- xyzzy21 5y agoThis is why algorithm creators are as guilty as any executive that comes up is with stupidity like this. What happens to executives should happen to algorithm writers!

- floatingatoll 5y agoThe labor costs of that would destroy Google and Facebook. What a beautiful thing it would be to see, though.
