[nonostantement #353] - love & addiction / recommendation culture / ethical ai

Now with MORE followers on substack! 🤨

Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with loyal, unsecured, and serious stuff found all over the Internet.

Hi, my name is Joele and this is an intro nobody read. I live on the Internet, partly because of my job. Online I find interesting things that I send every week in this newsletter. For free.

No music this week.

  Online services that promise to find people romantic matches have been likened to gambling products designed to keep customers hooked.

  A recent surge of human-curated guidance is both a reaction against and an extension of the tyranny of algorithmic recommendations.
