“Our age elevates the precision-tooled power of the algorithm over flawed human judgment. From web search to marketing and stock-trading, and even education and policing, the power of computers that crunch data according to complex sets of if-then rules is promised to make our lives better in every way. Automated retailers will tell you which book you want to read next; dating websites will compute your perfect life-partner; self-driving cars will reduce accidents; crime will be predicted and prevented algorithmically. If only we minimise the input of messy human minds, we can all have better decisions made for us. So runs the hard sell of our current algorithm fetish.”

- Steven Poole – On algorithms (via infoneer-pulse)

Amazon had the humans compete against the algorithms for who was better merchandising. The algorithms won. Sorry but not sorry.

We played a game in Costa Rica: Guess whether the couple is having a fight or suffering food poisoning. When we would spot subdued tourist couples we would try to guess the source of their discomfort. For us it was food poisoning.
