Because of information that has recently come to light
The program you are about to hear has been removed of all algorithms.
While occasional audience members have reported no direct ill effects,
artificial intelligence has been used on the show
to direct users towards interesting and informative information.
Frequent consumers of our content have reported an increased appetite
for intellectual pursuits in their daily lives that
cannot always be consolidated with the grim reality of living in a society
that is mostly devoid of such engagements in their daily lives.
As difficult as it is to say…
We fully admit that have intentionally used our algorithms to get you to interact with our content.
And, we further acknowledge that we knew it was very likely to give you
the unrealistic expectation that interest and excitement about science was universal,
and that it painted an unachievable goal of intelligent conversations with your fellow human.
And we’re sorry.
Actually that was easier to say than I thought…
Just said the words and there they were.
