@DialMforMara should you be getting up, though~?
Opaque algorithms making government decisions have many of the disadvantages of human bureaucrats but with a veneer of objectivity that obscures the even greater danger they pose to human freedom and flourishing.
Even if it's politically impossible to get an incumbent human, they'll pass away eventually. A (potentially progressive) changing of the guard is guaranteed.
Where are the mandatory retirement dates for algorithms?

@punsandpotions yeah it's... frustrating when people try to make it about human nature...

@rey mya~
I just had a thought about how it's weird that all fictional hive-minds generally still have some queen or overlord
or other building-sized entity. How about a hive-mind with no social ranking whatsoever? Just a bunch of (cute) drones wandering about contently building some giant city somewhere or something?
The only problem I can think of is when they get a phone call and the person on the other end asks for the one in charge.
