Too bad step one was to replace human curation with algorithms
- drewcoo 2y agoThe thing is . . . human curation is an algorithm. And businesses tend to seek more profits, in part by cutting costs. So what's the obvious way to cut the cost of an algorithm that involves a bunch of slow, unreliable meat?
- xpe 2y ago> human curation is an algorithm This phrase seems too muddled to be useful to me. An algorithm that aggregates preferences of people isn't "just" a "a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions". If we run amok with the usage above (which I don't care for), what _isn't_ an algorithm? When everything is an algorithm, the word has no meaning.
