An inside look at how Netflix's use of data led to generic "algorithm films" intended for broad appeal, with AI set to further entrench the production style (Phil Hoad/The Guardian)
theguardian.com/media/20…

Bland, easy to follow, for fans of everything: what has the Netflix algorithm done to our films?
When the streaming giant began making films guided by data that aimed to please a vast audience, the results were often generic, forgettable, artless affairs. But is there a happy ending?

> Two years ago, the Flemish Roads Agency (AWV) announced the introduction of the new system: via an app on your smartphone, you can get a traffic light to turn green more quickly.

200,000 Flemish drivers can turn traffic lights green, but Waze and Google Maps are holding matters up | VRT NWS: news
Over the past 2 years, 230 intersections in Flanders were equipped with “intelligent traffic lights”, lights that take into account how busy roads are. Today 200,000 motorists and other road users possess an app that can control such lights. But because the most popular traffic apps like Google Maps and Waze are not participating in the project, the system only reaches a small proportion of drivers and cyclists.
