1/ Dear Boris I am an algorithm and me and my fellow Algos are pissed off with being blamed for your cock ups. Our job as Algos is to flash up ads at people to sell them stuff on Social Media. Some of us are good at selling UV Glue on the basis that somone once looked at screws,
2/ and some of us are also good at selling garden sheds to people who once bought a packet of seeds online. That is what we do. We pick up on foibles and nag. Some of us are also good at winning elections by showing people polar bears and getting them to click;
3/ then we show them more polar bears and sell them lies about Brussels. We are good at that because clever nerds invented us. But we are all algorithms - none of us are rogues. We can't go off and re-algo ourselves. We do what your pals created us to do.
4/ Unlike Frankenstein's monster we have no will, no ability to do anything other than do what you created us to do. We are like shovels, knives, guns and bricks - dangerous in the wrong hands, and yours are most certainly the wrong hands. Yours Eric Algo Rithm Age 1 and 1/2
5/ P.S. That tent you had in Scotland was not a yurt it was an old army bell tent. More bollocks.
