Friends of @TACMayApply, director @CullenHoback has a new doc, @LiesUpstream, currently at 100 percent on @RottenTomatoes and is available on @iTunes! It’s about another issue that affects us all — water — so please rent and support it however you can! https://t.co/mxf0jCwmjl
If you are into Bitcoin, check out this documentary on HBO Max!
It was super interesting as it looks into the origins of Bitcoin and what Bitcoin is about
Lots of cool insights from some of the original people and users of Bitcoin!
If you thought the filter bubble of the Internet was bad, just wait until the filter bubble of life. Allowing ai into employment or policing will inevitably create a nightmarish feedback loop. There is no ethical application. https://t.co/uPolUTFaVT
Let’s define covert surveillance:
Use of stingray to ping protestor phones and build targeted lists. Contact tracing to determine networks of dissidents. Analysis of comms, search, purchase and location history. Standard infiltration.
Not sure what got into me, but I just spent most of the weekend remastering my old documentary Monster Camp. Maybe I’ll make some Blu-rays if enough people show interest.
A note from the future: While you were in #Quarantine, Big Brother fought #COVID19 using facial recognition, drone policing, artificial intelligence profiling and unprecedented data collection. When the virus passed, these new threats remained.
You know what artificial intelligence content moderation is good for? Letting Facebook, Google and friends wipe their hands of responsibility for bias.
Robots don’t get #coronavirus or pee or sleep. Bet Amazon’s Bezos is jockeying for some sweet federal aid to replace warehouse workers when #COVID20 hits
Google will inevitably say that tracking your every move, while scary, can help map pandemics. Maybe even predict their spread. It’s an opportunity for them to justify 24/7 surveillance. Will you buy the hype?
Love this term: FAANG. Tech titans Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google. Must annoy them that they have to pay for actual lobbyists, instead of just targeting DC through the information channels they control. https://t.co/lmmTBZf8Nf
3 letter agencies were granted access to NSA intel by Obama. It was one of his last actions in office. Now the FBI legally and routinely spies on American citizens private communications. https://t.co/yEQbORmPno
