Oddbean new post about login | logout > "the algorithm presented him to us like any other" what do you mean by that? maybe algorithm just did nothing
That’s the thing. All of our normal real-life interactions have algorithms. But in the centralized virtual world, we have little or no programmability for who we allow near us. No heuristics.
a while back, I was using a dating site. and after some time I understand that that every person I meet in real life is filtered. literally. I'm a programmer, my circle is programmers and people around them. I can't meet a bank clerk ) My wife for example is IT manager. But person from dating site it is just random and that experience was so weird.
