I'm teaching an algorithms, big data and ethics class this Fall. I am so not writing the syllabus till August. Stuff comes out every week.
BTW I *do* wish there were a better term than algorithm to mean "complex and opaque computation of consequence". Language does what it does.
@zeynep I’ve been on G+ since week 1 and last year they altered the feed to be controlled. Not even close the the original experience.
@zeynep that's a really good joke :p
@zeynep clearly contextualized to web search. But yeah, aspirational much?
@zeynep This is a complete fiction. The choice done by others is never yours. It's what they want you to want.
@zeynep Many problems: how do their algos know what I want? How do I, with no real choice? How do I change if I am given only what I want?
