"Anything engineered—cars, bridges, buildings—can cause harm to people, and yet we have built a civilization on engineering. ...If we treat our inventions as occult objects, we can hardly be good engineers.

Tech guru Jaron Lanier: ‘The danger isn’t that AI destroys us. It’s that it drives us insane’

The godfather of virtual reality has worked beside the web’s visionaries and power-brokers – but likes nothing more than to show the flaws of technology. He discusses how we can make AI work for us, how the internet takes away choice – and why he would ban TikTok

The Guardian

#DataDignity is the idea that if a bot relies on your reporting, you should keep track of where the sources came from. This would create a shared sense of responsibility and liability where everything works better. A very different world could unfold where if an AI bot relied on your reporting, you get payment for it.

What does data dignity mean to you? 🤔 #datadignity #userdata

Here's your regular reminder that these companies collect our data and sell it with impunity. We deserve to have ownership over our own data.
