An interesting article on the problems that come with letting humorless algorithms govern our information.

This reminds me of a time when I wrote a paper on The Epic of Gilgamesh, which I very proudly titled “Anything You Can Do, Enkidu Better.” My categorically unsmiling professor handed it back with the title re-written in red pen: “Anything Gilgamesh Can Do, Enkidu Can Do Better.” D’oh!

Sigh. Keeping trying, my boy! Somewhere in this world there is room for terrible puns.
