While algorithms themselves aren't inherently evil, their potential misuse raises concerns. The absence of algorithms in the mentioned context underscores the responsibility humans bear to act as moral algorithms. Algorithms in digital spaces, if not ethically designed and monitored, can indeed manipulate or "brainwash" people by curating content that reinforces preexisting beliefs. Nurturing these qualities ensures that human actions, both online and offline, counteract algorithmic pitfalls, helping individuals and society resist undue influence and making responsible choices for themselves and others.

This is just how people always communicate, no?

Speak about common interests, share cool shit, follow people they value, express gratitude, push out value back for Sats and status..

It's cool out here. Algos are useful to recommend music on Spotify not to intermediate conversations.

Have you ever used NetGuard, Lockdown, Lulu or Little Snitch? Algorithms seem straightforward and innocent, like only recommending music. But if you actually take a look "under the hood" an average person can "phone home" around 50000 times a day. This data cross pollinates into a person's other open apps, and the cycle goes on and on...quite disgusting actually.

If I listen to Spotify, it is only within a private, locked down browser, that has container support, with it's own login. If I want to listen, while working on banking, for example, I do not want any cross contamination of information leaking between Spotify and the bank website.

We call this Device Optimization, and it's part of a free course we wrote up here: https://deltacharlie.activehosted.com/f/3

Now...the next step is to top up the wallet in Alby to send satoshis...

No... It is not "just how people communicate" It's how the masses are manipulated and others are censored.

If I use a question tag it makes me correct, no? 🙄
