People keep posting links of goofy "AI" mistakes and using that as evidence that the computers will never take over and I'm like what if that means they *do* take over and are just REALLY LAME AT RULING?

(This thought brought to you by Google News, which is absolutely, unshakably convinced that I need to hear *all* the news about the Duggar family every time I visit, purely because it offered me an article once and I clicked because I couldn't remember who those people were.)

@gamehawk But... Computers already rule vast chunks of human activity. Its called YouTube. And their recommendation engines push people to increasingly extreme versions of whatever they started with. YouTube may even be a stronger engine of radicalization than Fox.

@alienghic I assume that it's more-or-less the same Google recommendation engine under the hood, yep. "Oh, you watched one thing? HERE IS ALL THOSE THINGS! ๐Ÿคฎ WATCH THEM ALL!"
