How is it working after a few months now? I’m glad Mike Hampton pointed me over here. He recommended four latest pieces but now I’m going to start at the beginning.

It's just me and you Vanda! Haha! I've started reaching out to a few peeps to understand this Substack thing more and am busy writing about what I have learned. You will get mentions. This is a really interesting experiment, can an underdog really break through the matrix?

Thanks for the comment on Youtube. The Youtube algorithms have totally ignored it until a day ago and it is only starting to wake up now. That's not my voice, I'm an expat Brit living in rabbit holes wherever I can find them.

Yes, well I read a comment that the person who coded the recommendation engine for Substack doesn't even know how it works! That's the thing with these AI algorithms, they operate with deep learning logic, a logic that forms complex patterns that are beyond the understanding of our simple human minds. It's something of a dark art to get these models to work sensibly at all, only a handful of coders have the magic touch. But what's more obscene is that these algorithms are currently directing the attention and minds of a large portion of humanity. Yikes!

Of course. There will be manual controls to push those writers that reflect their biases. We are fallible human animals after all. (and rabbits)
