Algorithms Stole Your Future
Algorithms have fundamentally changed the way we live, laugh, love, and....... consume. Blockbuster to Netflix, Dunks to 3 pointers, Console Wars to Game Passes, you can thank our machine learning overlords for all of it. But why isn't the world getting better? Shouldn't that be the point of these deeply complex algorithms, to improve day to day life? Shouldn't they work to build on what we already have, the things we look back on with fondness? Well, I think by this point we all know that isnt their goal, so lets find out what is.

Really quickly, a couple disclaimers: Firstly I don't want this video, or its tone, to convey the idea that I think I’m above these issues, that I think I’m free of them, or that I think these issues are a failing of my generation, my beliefs represent the exact opposite of that actually. I’m on your side, and just like you, I too put my depression on one tweet at a time. Secondly, some segments of the video are gonna get real slow and personal, and if that's not your jive, right above this is a menu of hyperlinked timestamps for you to jump around with in case you’re looking for something a bit different, I’m particularly proud of the videogame segment which isn't for a ways into the video and would hate for you to miss it, hope you enjoy!
