Algorithms predict you using only your repeating parts and call the rest noise
YogeshMalik · x · 2026-09-18
A philosophical reflection on algorithmic prediction: being predicted doesn't mean being controlled — it means you were already yourself in some measurable way before you noticed. The real tragedy, the author argues, is that algorithms predict you only from the parts of you that repeat, discarding the rest as noise, without engaging your sense of free will.
