The actual future will involve algorithms coercing you into relationships that are great for targeted ads.

Does anyone know anything about Youtube's playlist algorithm? I find that the first time I listen to a song it creates a playlist with lots of other songs by the same artist, as I go back to the same music video again and again the playlist starts to direct me in different directions until none of the songs in the playlist are by the musician from the original video. I normally only subconsciously notice this because I have youtube minimised and I'm doing something else. But for some reason the playlist always seems to end up at King Krule. I keep on having moments where I'm like 'wait, what am I listening to? I don't want to listen to this', I go back to youtube and it's always king krule.

in the actual future, poorly made self driving cars run over pedestrians their sensors should have caught while their safety drivers are on their phones instead of watching the road
