A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Omg, I have friends like this who are like "I don't want to make decisions, I just want the algorithm to decide for me"

I look at them like I just bumped into an alien in those moments. Have a brief "Maybe I shouldn't be friends with you" but then reel myself in and think "they can't be serious "

You just reminded me employees in my company who are mostly like that.

It would be different if the algorithm was doing anything other than trying to sell you things
