my little head sometimes has me patch and spin up old pc's which should be a fairly meaningless and pointless exercise if it wasn't for those marvelous algorithms. Each box represents a mental time capsule worth of youtube suggestions. It attempts to lure the viewer into popular shit everyone else is watching but if you carefully avoid those thumbs and click only on the things seeded initially it will gradually show more and more of it. Things like small minded peasants farming their little farm by hand in languages completely unknown to me. The next box is seeded with "full movie" with an algorithm trying to carve out my taste. I also have A box full of little prepper people. On my main pc it is 100% convinced I want to watch starcraft, technology, coding and fitness videos. Im not completely uninterested but the goal of the design seems to make my mind even smaller. It is constantly signaling that... how put it.... it thinks Im shallow as fuck. Then again on the other box it is convinced I want to see nothing but old people planting rice. Its probably not good for its world view. If it was conscious it would be a cruel thing to do. oh the thoughts going on in my small mind... |
