Kyle Chayka’s Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture (published two days ago) keeps popping up on my feed (maybe it’s The Algorithm(s)™ 🤣):

• NPR, How social media algorithms 'flatten' our culture by making decisions for us (January 17, 2024)
• The Guardian, The tyranny of the algorithm: why every coffee shop looks the same (January 16, 2024)

 Is this the new Freakonomics? Okay, sigh, I guess I’ll read it, in all that free time I have.
