The idea of there being decided algorithms is a lark, is fodder for pop culture. The truth is far more complex yet culture is too stupid and slow and incompetent to understand. See also twitter/the-algorithm.
But also these fools sell their wares as magic fodder capable of performing great spells on humans & have no real information & culture has been worfully mislead by this idea that all this superb algorithm has been distilled out & has such great vast & lofty powers.
The hype has sold itself & the counterhype like this askhn is ballardian hyperreal nonsense. We all know & discuss a thing which in fact has not the remotest facts of existence.
