Repost, but worth it.
This is what the “Luddite” attitude to technology actually is. It’s also important to remember that “recommendation” models are also a problem, it’s not just the slop generators that need to go.

" a specific step-by-step procedure for solving a problem" " a procedure for solving a mathematical problem " Notice that 1st two definitions of algorithm does not mention computers. The word algorithm was not invented in 2000 by Google.
The algorithms networks used 30 years ago were run on computers and calculated how to keep the public passively consuming their media. The video was about people forgetting how to research by themselves.
I definitely noticed how you edited your comment so you wouldn’t have to admit that you were wrong.
Also, don’t try to put words in my mouth. I never said “algorithms can’t exist outside of computers”, and I definitely didn’t say some dumb shit like “Google invented algorithms”.
