Well worth a watch. The algorithmic overlords are curating our news. In comparison to the editors with built in ethics. Hmm some people would question that. Largest selling newspaper in the UK isn't what I would call challenging. He has a point though in this TED vide and is right. So much of todays news isn't really challenging. So much entertainment isn't thought provoking. It numbs the mind for a while. Now we let algorithms 'Manufacture our consent'. Where does this all end.
