Les Gafam et l’uniformisation de la pensée

• les “solutions”
• “intuitif”
• “simple”
• “performant”

• modèles, algorithmes, formats, protocoles
• modèle basé sur des valeurs
• reproduction de ces valeurs
• prophétie autoréalisante

In this example, Harry is 10 years older than Sally, makes $10,000 more per year, and has a Master’s degree while Sally has a bachelor’s degree. Even with these disparities, matching server 20 will give Sally’s profile a high score which makes it more likely that Sally’s profile will appear in Harry’s result list. However, if it was Sally who submitted the search, and matching server 20 was evaluating Harry’s profile, a different score is possible. So, if it were Sally who was 10 years older, made $10,000 more per year, and had a Master’s degree while Harry had a Bachelor’s degree, matching server 20 would give a low score to Harry’s profile, making it less likely that his profile would appear in Sally’s result list. Matching server 20 may be configured this way because empirical data has shown that these demographic differences do not have an equivalent effect on the choices men and women make regarding matches.
