Which one? When I googled it only the rifle one was listed, but a better search for what it stood for got me this list of 62 different NRA's: https://www.acronymfinder.com/NRA.html
It used to be that I thought the Internet would improve our knowledge and access to information. Not so now. Now Google assumes what you're looking for, based on your past and what other people like you were looking for. And my phone even changes words I spelled correctly, based on the sentence it thinks I'm trying write. It's incredibly frustrating.
Here in LA county LACBA is either for beekeepers like me, or for the Bar Association of lawyers. Those pesky lawyers even use an orange hexagon logo like a beeswax with est 1878 in it as if they are trying to say they were called LACBA first. (FYI: LA County Beekeepers Assoc was established 1873, though beekeeping was only made legal in LA County in 2015, after being banned in 1879 - the year after the LA Bar Assoc was formed.)
I think the Dunning-Kruger effect is even stronger now that the tech companies try to keep us in echo chambers for their profit.
The other NRA that I was thinking of is the National Restaurant Association, but yes, you're spot on about algorithms assuming things. Unfortunately, we're also at the mercy of LLMs (Large Language Models, artificial intelligence) also making these assumptions.
Maybe the search engines and LLMs should include "Powered by the Dunning-Kruger Effect."
PS: Please keep up the great work supporting our bees. We need them far more than computers.
