everything wrote:working in some of the related areas (analytics, marketing, webdev, etc.), it's really not particularly impressive. yeah yeah the "data science" and "AI" are impressive.
at the end of the day, if I look at a pair of shoes on a site, FB/instagram start showing me endless shoe ads. for the political stuff, social media at large amplifies the stupidity of people on all things, but the Fox News stuff (coming out of the Dominion lawsuit) is far more insidious and alarming to me with the direct manipulation of idiots for financial (viewers) gain and associated harm/risk to democratic processes. iow, an "algorithm" to connect people/ads is not as scary as a billionaire lunatic. i really have a hard time worrying about the ad stuff (biased industry-related view here, albeit).
