Stop using algorithm feeds, and obfuscate your online presence. Most people don’t care enough to bother, though. The convenience makes it worth the loss of privacy.
No. Most recent thing I searched for: How did they decide which way is “north” on the planet Mars? Good luck to any AI behaviour-tracking analysis engines trying to figure out why it was that.
Did they pick the direction closest to north on earth?
There are two standards to choose from: Either you go by the direction it’s rotating, or you use the pole that’s on the same side of the ecliptic as earth’s north. In the case of Mars they both agree.
Oh well that’s convenient for choosing North
just experienced this firsthand.
watched a single clip of some South American heritage dances because culture, fuck yeah. my whole feed is filled with 90% Spanish speaking content now. my searches are 100% Spanish speaking content.
I don’t speak Spanish.
no. plenty being injected that does not come from you.
My mom is always so sure about the political landscape because of what the algorithm feeds her, she believes that everyone sees what she is seeing and knows what she knows. It’s hard to make her understand people are living in completely different worlds now, receiving completely different feeds.
More circular than recursive.
Nah, it has elements of a control system, but that isn’t the same as recursion.
Possibly even as far as feedback, but yeah not really recursion.
Which is why online privacy is a big deal even if you don’t have “something to hide.” Use any of the plethora of other search options available besides Google. Use tracker blockers and link scrubbers whenever possible. Block any unnecessary cookies. And use fingerprint protection whenever possible. VPNs can be helpful in many cases too. No reason not to and it’s pretty quick and easy to do.
So why am I now thinking about Tates dick?
Because you searched for tater tots and roosters and the search engines deducted information from there.
No, I was actually searching for pics of Tates dick!
You maniac! Now you’ll be bombarded with detective ads from Tate galleries!
Also, art is a product of its time, and it influences what people think during that time. For example, The Boys frequently references the Trump administration.
