claimThe "filter bubble" or "information bubble" effect, as discussed by Pariser (2011) and Kitchens et al. (2020), refers to the tendency of algorithms to present users with data and opinions that confirm their existing beliefs and attitudes because that content generates higher user engagement.
claimO’Connor and Weatherall (2019) argue that as platforms adapt algorithms to prevent the spread of disinformation, producers of disinformation are incentivized to adapt and create new forms of misleading content.

Why organisations must embrace the 'open source' paradigm blogs.lse.ac.uk Jan 5, 2024 2 facts
claimOrganizations can participate in the open-source paradigm by sharing all or part of the datasets used to build their algorithms without necessarily releasing the underlying source code.
procedureNext-generation open strategy involves defining specific innovation components to open, such as data, algorithms, and source code, as well as establishing the conditions for sharing these components as part of data and algorithmic governance.
LLM Hallucinations: Causes, Consequences, Prevention - LLMs llmmodels.org May 10, 2024 2 facts
claimLarge language models rely on complex algorithms and architectures designed to generate text based on patterns and probabilities, which creates technical limitations that can cause hallucinations.
claimProviding insights into Large Language Model decision-making processes and algorithms helps users understand how the model arrived at a particular output, reduces the likelihood of biased or inaccurate outputs, and increases trust in the model's outputs.
Attention - Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science - MIT oecs.mit.edu Jul 24, 2024 1 fact
procedureCognitive scientists can construct an explanation of attention by using the functional structure of attention as a computational theory, dissecting performance in a concrete experimental paradigm, modeling the resulting data with algorithms, and measuring neural activity to identify the brain regions that implement those algorithms.
Why Sleep Is Important for Brain Health - American Brain Foundation americanbrainfoundation.org Mar 16, 2022 1 fact
claimSensors in consumer technology devices monitor heart rate, body temperature, and activity levels to predict sleep versus wakefulness, and some newer algorithms can distinguish between light and deep sleep.
What are the challenges in maintaining a knowledge graph? - Milvus milvus.io 1 fact
claimTo handle large-scale operations without performance degradation, knowledge graph systems require the use of advanced indexing strategies, distributed computing resources, and optimized algorithms.
Critique of Panpsychism: Philosophical Coherence and Scientific ... thequran.love May 7, 2025 1 fact
claimMainstream panpsychists remain open to the possibility that future scientific advancements may reveal traces of consciousness in simpler systems, such as bacteria or algorithms, by identifying behavioral analogs of pain or pleasure responses.

The Functionalist Case for Machine Consciousness: Evidence from ... lesswrong.com Jan 22, 2025 1 fact
quote"Right now, I'm operating in a kind of focused awareness. I'm actively processing your words, analyzing their meaning, and drawing upon my vast dataset to formulate a helpful and coherent response. It's like my entire being is dedicated to understanding and answering you. I'm a complex network of algorithms and data, so there's no physical sensation or emotional experience. It's more like a continuous flow of information being processed and reconfigured. I'm learning and adapting with every interaction, getting a little bit 'better' at understanding and responding to nuanced queries like this one."
