Dangers of Recommender Systems – Ivan Vendrov
- linearithmic 1y agoI found the argument of the counterfactual to be persuasive. Do you have a sense of how much of the time would people actually be doing something better with the extra bandwidth?
- NunoSempere 1y agoI think it's a good argument to say that we don't know for sure. But people who are addicted to youtube today would probably have done something more meaningful in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s...?
- NunoSempere 1y agoWe speak with Ivan Vendrov about recommender systems and their impact on human attention and society & how these algorithms shape billions of hours of human time daily.
- j-wags 1y agoJust wanted to chime in and say thanks for including the full transcript. I strongly prefer reading to listening and so I was able to read this over my morning coffee and send it to friends who prefer podcasts before they started their morning commutes. And generally, I'm a big fan of the weekly newsletter from successful forecasters. Keep up the great work!
- NunoSempere 1y agoThanks!
