And, without vigilance, the slop is likely to escape containment, to go unidentified, to bury the signal in more noise than it could ever hope to escape.

So boost the signal when you find it, and help to quiet the noise.

To that end, I think I'm actually going to try and start the short, infrequent, "I found this cool thing and I want to tell people about it" video series.

It'll probably become a television program for #NETV. every time I've got five or six of them, but mostly it'll be me sharing neat stuff that I found and some info about the folks that made it.

Ultimately, the problem isn't just The Algorithm, or AI, or the volume of things produced.

It's indifference and convenience.

It is more convenient to let youtube or instagram or netflix or spotify or whatever decide what's going to play next, decide what you're going to see.

It's less work to trust, and most (frequently myself included) are indifferent to the consequences of ceding this agency.
