Drowning in expectations

Do you expect me to write this today. Have you been waiting for my next outpouring of thoughts. I hope not, as I’ve had no expectation of writing today to quench your insatiable appetite for textual consumption.

Alas, Facebook’s incessant algorithms, some say Artificial Intelligence, have been whirring away in Silicone Valley; a land which never sleeps. The output from their number crunching injected panic into my transition from night time slumber to a restful day, one we choose to call Sunday.

Oh no, have I left 87 people floundering in a social media wilderness?

Have I failed to meet their demanding expectations thus depriving them of their next digital dopamine fix?

But wait, let’s check the Artificial Intelligence output.
Today = Sunday
Last post on my Digital Alchemist’s page was Thursday 11:11am
Digital wilderness time span = 1.5 working days
Number of requests for more content from my 87 strong fan club = unknown.

My Human Intelligence determines there’s a bug in Facebook’s algorithm.

HI = 1
AI = 0

So panic over, I’m floating along in my own sea without a notion of your expectations.
