Is it, though? Consider that many organizations both private and public have been using algorithms since the 1990s, long before anyone knew what an algorithm was. They had entire departments dedicated to running optimization algorithms. Amazon has algorithms deciding what products to show you, what prices to charge, and how to route packages. Airlines have algorithms that adjust ticket prices hundreds of times a day based on data you didn’t even know existed, and health insurance companies have actuarial models that process millions of data points to decide your rates. Seems like a rather one-sided fight, no?

It is.

Wow. Don’t even know enough to elaborate, so you just use 2-word sentences like some asshole.
Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That’s right. (How are we counting contractions? Still two words?)

Then you should be able to easily give criticisms.
