In a Daily Wire op-ed, novelist Gregg Hurwitz argues that social media algorithms are accelerating real‑world radicalization and outlines five fixes aimed at preserving free speech while reducing harm. He cites recent high‑profile attacks — including the killings of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson, and activist Charlie Kirk — to illustrate the stakes.
Lizzo has criticized algorithms, calling them racist and fatphobic. She claims they are destroying the music industry and hindering her album promotion.

A new study reveals that children as young as four years old naturally employ sorting algorithms when solving problems, suggesting these skills may be hardwired. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego observed this behavior in experiments with young kids. The findings challenge traditional views on how cognitive abilities develop.
