Bryn & Calculon
Bryn, have you considered how algorithmic curation might be shaping the stories that reach you?
Yeah, sure I’ve been thinking about it. Algorithms are the gatekeepers of what we see, so the headlines that hit my desk are already pre‑filtered by data. If we’re not careful, we end up chasing the same echo chamber. So yeah, I’m on the hunt for the hidden corners—anything that can break that loop.
To break the loop, diversify the sources you ingest: set up a rotating list of non‑algorithmic feeds, use random seed searches, cross‑check claims across multiple independent outlets, and manually browse niche sites outside the mainstream data pipeline. That’s the most efficient way to escape the echo chamber.
