A worthy contender for the “Who writes this crap?” award.

is a mix of sensationalist technobabble, misconceptions and plain tosh. It’s hard to believe that a “technology reporter” is actually paid to write stuff like this. Did you know shares can be sent via fibre optic cable, and that algorithms can ‘spread their influence beyond the machine’?
They look like purple seaweed, BTW.
