The algorithm still don't know me

We're all getting bombarded with the thrilling predictions and warnings of AI, but the daft pricks who are most evangelical about it - and assuring us that it's not a con and really will change our lives - are the same sorts of people who were telling me 10 years that algorithms will change the world

I don't about that, because I've had a tiny presence on Facebook for 15 years and it stil ldon't fucking know me, and is still delivering me unreadable shit that I have no time for.

I am not the market for cheap car parts and bitcoin, and I don't know why it keeps showing me posts from random strangers getting into car accidents, or weird pop culture accounts full of dull Star Wars memes. I just wanted to know what my dearest friends and family were up to. That's all I wanted, and the algorithm can't even figure that out, so I'm not holding my breath for the AI singularity anytime soon. 

That said, I was deeply, deeply freaked out by watching this fucking AI thing the other day, and it has been giving me the shits on a cosmic scale ever since, and I still can't stop watching it. That is how the world ends.
