It’s too early for the Butlerian Jihad to start.

Good to know. As my posting history on Lemmy will show I definitely watch bread recipes videos. In fact I became a mod for c/cooking today.

You watch one ContraPoints video about Jordan B Peterson and the next thing you know … Still not any JBP video recommendations. So I guess there is an upside to the failure of big data.

Each day I go to the YouTube app on Roku to my subscriptions tab and watch whatever is new. Then I go to Recommend and it’s 90% or more previous videos from those same subscriptions and very little new creators it hasn’t showed me.

After almost a year of this it figured out last week I might like AronRa, a person I’m very familiar with. And after countless videos on anthropology, evolution and paleontology he should have come up so much sooner. So much for big data.

But what is completely lacking is a “show me completely random stuff, old, new, not in my algorithm, short, long, completely against my algorithm, etc.” it lacks almost any way to discover new stuff that isn’t 100% related to content you already have.

YouTube gets more uploads than any one person can possibly watch and yet it’s almost incapable of showing me something unless I explicitly tell it to find it for me.

Nothing I do need to account for relativistic speeds or quantum mechanics so I could get by on Newtonian mechanics just fine. Most people could get by on Archimedes.

There’s not much that can make their web experience worse, but this is definitely one of those things.

You didn’t understand the assignment. Before asking questions do the required reading. You may find your questions have already been answered.

Look into the history of libertarians trying to set up paradises of like minded people to find out why this will fail. They start into the 19th century and just keep failing.

Smoking causes spontaneous human combustion. Which means it is not spontaneous.

Artificial grass. The headline says sunlight but the contents are all about artificial light. So it would need to be fake grass to be consistent

Scientific American offering up one data point as a miracle cure for a whole range of conditions. But it’s not even selling sunlight as the cure, which is implied by the title, but artificial light paid for by your insurance.

This is trash.

Call centers: that there is time between calls. That people have time off the phone to form friendships with coworkers.

Handyman: we have sex with clients.

IT: that we can just code anything we want regardless of standards, policies and best practices.

Jokes on them. I don’t have phone conversations
