Opinion: Algorithm ‘gatekeepers’ undermine democracy and health | Montreal Gazette

How enlightening…

Let me list the ways…

When pictographics shifted to clay stone tablets(ONG NO WIFI)…

Then to papyrus and some form of ink other than shed blood for VICTORIA’S twisted versions of history….

Then voila out of the dark ages around 1500’s the printing press was invented to resounding success…

Lo and behold… reference books became mass mantras recited at Sunday Masses everywhere… okay so on Fridays and Saturdays too…

So finally, I’ll skip all the fine print details…

Someone thought(dare I say Benjamin Franklin as one of the first few) got the idea that local town councils given free rein should have a moral/ethical character test by publishing local town news… far cry from the heady days of the town crier proclaiming the King of the day’s state of mind…

So it strikes me as odd in 2020 now that the internet and social media platforms firmly established that crying wolf from bleeding red ink so late in the game… news media itself once the dominant social platforms of the day… finding itself in the unfortunate position of question AI social EVERYTHING…

Like MAIN STREET crying wolf after everything in sight has been devoured leaving ghost towns along these decayed strips of land…

So without further ado…

Let me quote only one MAN who’s sharp tongue held steadfast when things where changing at warp speed in the glory days of the wild west…

May you find the ideal quote to soothe your souls while you finally start asking yourselves all the right questions…

All be it a bit late, but what the hell… better late than never huh…

BTW – NOW IS THE TIME TO TRIM FAT… FIND NEW AVENUES AND TURN THINGS AROUND… CAUSE THE NET HAS NO SOUL(HINT HINT)… otherwise it those kesters goodbye…

…”It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”…

Start here and work your way backwards to find where the hell you got it wrong…

My suggestion thereafter…

Pump iron and WORK WORK WORK those THERMODYNAMIC CONSCIENCES ON EVERYTHING…

You find yourselves as a compliment to heartless, soulless AI MACHINES

Good Luck

Livenrgy out

ROFL
