Had an idea and am now working on a Communication Model for Algorithm-Reinforced Feedback in Digital Social Networks.
Because what else would I be doing on a Saturday morning? 😅
My hope is to illustrate (in a write-up) how much the receiver of a message is in fact communicating with an algorithm, and how the sender of a message becomes incentivized to encourage human-to-computer communication rather than human-to-human communication.

Communication Model for Algorithm-Reinforced Feedback in Digital Social Networks • Per Axbom • Work in progress
Model with a sender composing a message through an encoder (user interface) that passes through some sort of entropy (disorder/randomness) to then be decoded (also in a user interface) and delivered to a receiver who will interpret the message. The receiver provides feedback to the sender but also to an algorithm. The algorithm is then used to instruct the machine which in turn contributes to the aforementioned entropy.
