>>242994Is it uncritical attitude or just a nativity? How can a senseless host close the app which controls him? Why would someone stop making money if making money is all the point
The bookstore… has algorithm. It doesnt have all the books in it. There is a limited space and because our brains are not able to deal with chaos efficiently, there must be order
No problem has been solved. How can you solve a problem like this? Problem of identity. Book store has identity, lets say, cat book store. Not only dat it has cat inside but also book is all about cat. It is much more like a human, has history, has limited intelligence (there are people inside who are intelligent but the structure isnt intelligent on the whole), has personality, has rights
And this bookstore has right and spirit in a way to express itself in or unto the world, just like the literal building apprehends the space to make it useful. Humans are like dat too, they project their own unto the environment to have influence
Wat does it all have to do to algorithm? Everything. If we are just like a cat store, then we are being changed by everything around us. We as a building project our meaning by apprehending space, but dat space is only useful and only has meaning if anyone bothers to go there and know dat it exist. People only have value in expression if dat has an influence
But dat sounds to be not true. Isnt it the other way, that we are the true shapers, able to chose and have agency. So, there is no concrete prerequisite for influence, more like influence is just a consequence of our action. So. If you are stuck, if you are at the slots and all you can do is to pull the lever until youve lost everything you have, isnt it is just how the algorithm works? The slot machine provides usefulness, it is able to create identity, a sad identity but identity none the less
But then if we are the true shapers and always can stop, does this mean that guy which can only pull the lever on slots somehow desires to lose all money and acquire identity of a loser? That sounds too wrong… After all, there is all evidence that such algorithms were destined to exploit and have the highest engagement it couldve been. So, we are not fully in control of our own bodies. Nothing can be done about it. If dat is so, then perhaps it is not so laughable if so
