The march of the algorithm (Weekend cartoon)

Math is perfect but language is not!
This is why the Universe must speak the language of mathematics.
There is no other way.

Here is the difference:

In this particular example, the question should be:
"What is the value of X in this triangle?"

Likewise, a complex society must speak the language of algorithm.
There is no other way.

It is the same joke as in mathematics where here the student just replicates the pattern as a "copy" instead of creating it as a program.

This answers the question in a narrow sense which is of course not what the question was.

This is why, slowly algorithm are taking over. Sector by sector, function by function, they are slowly inserting their invisible presence and ruthless efficiency in our everyday world until one day our smart cars will move in a smart city with no humans left in sight.

There will be no room left for jokes, everything will be "efficient".

Perfect answers to perfect questions!

But is this the world we want to live in?

A world run by AI runs smoothly but it has no room for us.
