Focused on private groups of friends and family, Yope has raised $12.3 million in seed funding from investors betting that the future of social networking lies in small, private communities powered by messaging, photo sharing, and, blergh, AI features designed to strengthen real-world relationships. It sounds kinda like old-school Facebook meets the fediverse, but with AI.

A website without algorithms is like food without chemicals. It cant exist.

    Cool. And how does the font get drawn? Magic? Telekinesis? How does it know where to position the text? Or what text to make a hyperlink?

    An algorythm is simply a repeatable set of instructions to achive an outcome. They can be as simple or complex as you want them to be. Facebook uses an algorythm to decided what it is going to serve, this dosent mean its the only algorythm on the site though.
