It is a bead tumbling through a series of logic gates, noting each time what is marked as “success” using the reaction-emojis and what isn’t. It does not empathize with the woman in Des Moines or with the elephants or with the people who will read the comment. It is a procedure. Medlar and Anvil and Fantail have been curating and promoting comments based on this procedure for two decades now. The only difference is that this algorithm isn’t trying to sell anything and has been told not to make people angry.
