WHY YOU ARE A SLAVE TO THE ALGORITHM

OUR LIVES THESE DAYS REVOLVE AROUND THINGS WHICH ARE SUGGESTED BY NONE OTHER THAN MACHINES. HERE'S HOW.

Believe it or not, we might just be living in a "mini simulation". Sounds outlandish? I say this because the choices we make are no longer completely at our own discretion. They are hugely influenced by the data of your digital footprint.

Here is what is determined by various algorithms in your life:

• The videos you watch on youtube

• The songs you listen to on Spotify

• The photos you see on Facebook & Instagram

• The webseries you binge-watch on Netflix

• The products you see on Amazon

• The route suggested on Google Maps

• The food suggested on Zomato & Swiggy

• The cab driver suggested on Uber

• The articles suggested on Google Discover

• The Apps & Games suggested on Google Play & the App Store

• The book you are reading on Kindle

• The spectacles suggested on Lenskart

• The stocks & mutual funds suggested by AI-driven apps

• The search results on Google

The last is practically endless but you get the picture. There is barely an innocuous decision in your life that is not connected to AI. Now you might argue that all these results are based on your own interests and search results but remember, no human intervention is plausible in the end result.

So how can you escape this madness? Well, the next you see a site requesting cookie access, deny it, and use a VPN. It can go a long way in denying access to your data.

Short one for the day.

Cheers!
