my notes ( ? )
Far from disappearing, human curation and sensibilities have a new value in the age of algorithms...
Facebook is mired in a series of controversies about the curation of its news feed... recently tried to smooth the process out by firing its human editors … only to find the news feed degenerated into a mass of fake and controversial news stories... Samsung’s news app divides into what you want to know and need to know; the former chosen by algorithm, the latter by editors.
amid today’s saturation ... knowledge and subjective judgment are more valuable than ever... software can’t eat human curation. Contrary to myth, traditional gatekeeping roles are here to stay. What we will see are hybrids: rich blends of human and machine curation
