lol like maybe some technocrat will be president and his vice president is a machine and he resigns so the algorithm can control the country and it just immediately nukes everything or makes crime extra illegal and lock everybody up or some shit. i'm sure some sci-fi book has played with this idea or something, just seems like an actual thing that could happen only because it's so insanely stupid it would make sense it's what would happen.
lol yeah, i do think algorithms will play a bigger role in day to day things. Like for example i'm sure they're used already in some things like insurance industry or medical stuff maybe? with human supervision but i can see an algorithm deciding when or who they approve insurance claims for based on some criteria. it would save the company so much money cutting staff. Barbaric to think about though tbh
