Thus, today we have different ways of influencing society: not only do we have codes of interpersonal behavior, but also codes of conduct for the algorithms that guide interpersonal relationships.

It has always been difficult to influence interpersonal codes of conduct, it takes a lot of time and a lot of work. In the analogue world, however, the codes of interpersonal conduct are known, we can perceive what you do not like and, in general, we have the ability to do some action in this regard.

In the case of algorithms, though, I don't see myself able to influence. I don't see these algorithms published because they have a competitive advantage for owners and they're protected by industrial property laws. But even if you publish it, I don't have the knowledge to influence it.

In this sense, I found the thinking of the architect I just met, Anna Heringer, very interesting. It proposes building the buildings that we inhabit with nearby materials and in the community, as in the past. I believe that behind this idea lies the concept of precarious technologies. It does not mean that the result obtained is not good, but that the road will be comprehensible and influential for all, transparent. Many hacktibists work with this idea, developing alternatives to put the meaning of digital relations back in our hands. Anna Heringer talks about contagious architectures that weaken our lives and communities. Maybe, along the same lines, we can talk about some contagious algorithms.
