Do you every have a thought-itch? It is there at the back of your mind. You can scratch it, but it does not go away. You cannot express it. I have found that when I have these thought itches, I just have to wait and eventually Izabella Kaminska will write a piece that just “gets it” and makes the itch go away.
Yesterday’s post on artificial intelligence, loss of privacy, discrimination, fascism, conformity and more is one such piece. Read it in full:
Algorithmic Discrimination at FT Alphaville
Bonus: contains a link to a Wikipedia article on Alphaville (the film).
