Lucy Liu was a data scientist and working on algorithms. She thought, there is just a ton of things in my life that do seem sub-optimal. So she decided to create an algorithm that optimizes To help her make decisions. The algorithm would tell her whether to do one thing or another But also it would randomly toss in just a decision that she might not take otherwise. It had like a random function so that she might take decisions that she would never normally take.
David and Tamler deliver a PODCAST episode, one of many that comes from the INTERNET, that you’ll probably listen to through Air Pods or some other kind of WIRELESS HEADPHONES as you go about your day.
(Incidentally, the topic of the episode is Marshall McLuhan on how new forms of media profoundly shape our experience and identity, but in a way that makes us focus on the content of the specific medium and not the medium itself.)
Plus, can algorithms help to optimize our well-being, and Steven Pinker transforms his ideas into a new asset class of NFTs.
