Summary: [audio:http://traffic.libsyn.com/daveslounge/DavesLounge-20110726.mp3] This week, I mentioned a TED Talk by Kevin Slavin about the computer algorithms that shape our world. You can watch that talk here. It's a fascinating (and slightly disturbing) look at how we've built machines that we don't fully control, and how they're reshaping our world in ways we don't expect. In many respects, music algorithms control our listening habits. But it doesn't always have to be that way...
