    I wasn’t a TikTok user, but, from what people tell me, by their third swipe the algorithm already knew enough about them that almost everything they get recommended was stuff they were interested in.

    How is it that Google with raw access to SO MUCH MORE information than just a few swipes can’t manage to zero in on what I’m actually interested in and instead I see so much garbage that I don’t bother looking at.

      The guy that destroyed yahoo search is the head of google search. That’s pretty much how in a nutshell.

      You’ll seek out what you are interested in anyway. But people are paying Google to show you stuff you’d never look for.

      Nah, the major nuclear powers are the new Axis. What will happen is the EU will collapse from internal dissent as it tries to ramp up military spending (if it bothers) and then everyone will suddenly notice that there’s no empires remaining that actually oppose the neo-Nazis.

      In the anarchist history texts of the Culture the EU will be deservedly mocked as an even less functioning version of the HRE.
