“COSMO: There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
MOTHER After reading this, I’ve added accounts for all of you to #Mastodon. You just can’t trust those #TechWeenies.
CARL Don’t forget to add alt-text so WHISTLER can read the pics.
BISHOP It’s 1992, why are you worried about this open stuff? Everyone’s going to run their own servers and talk peer to peer anyway.
I see the SaturdayPaper editors are having fun with #Techweenies and shock jocks. 
“Currently, #Internet companies collect #data about where we go #online and use this data to present us with #ads (#advertisements) or other #content we may be interested in. Dr. #YaqubChaudhary and Dr #JonniePenn, working out of #Cambridge’s Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence #LCFI, have identified startling new ways #AI is seeking to control our #DecisionMaking at the earliest possible steps.”
Neat and tidy. Finally a use for AI as a power guzzling bullshit machine for advertising. Don’t get, “grabbed by your Norbots”

“(Craig) Wright had claimed intellectual property rights associated with bitcoin, but that was demolished when the high court found he lied about his role, deploying often clumsy #forgeries “on a grand scale” and #technobabble. The real #Nakamoto is likely to be a billionaire because they are thought to own 1 million bitcoins.
Wright was then ordered to stop taking legal actions against bitcoin developers, but defied that court order in October when he brought suits against #cryptocurrency #developers amounting to more than £900bn in respect of his claimed intellectual property rights related to #bitcoin.”

“Aria Babu quit her job at a think tank to dedicate herself to something most people have never heard of. Having worked in public policy for several years, the 26-year-old Londoner had come to an alarming realisation about the future of the UK, the world – and the human species…
The new focus of Babu’s career is a philosophy known as pronatalism, literally meaning pro-birth. Its core tenet is deceptively simple: our future depends on having enough children, and yet life in developed countries has become hostile to this *basic biological imperative*. Linked to the subcultures of rationalism and ‘effective altruism’ (EA), and bolstered by declining birth rates, it has been gaining currency in #SiliconValley and the wider #tech industry – especially its more conservative corners.”
