All these robotic note takers and calendar probing assistants can fuck right off.

Every one of them.

I’ve always understood tech to be a doubled-edged thing. This wave of privacy invading snoops is pushing me to the Luddite end of the spectrum.

#tech #AI #NedLudd

"Shouldn't we be resisting this gigantic, carbon emitting version of automated #Thatcherism before it's allowed to trash our remaining #publicservices? It might be tempting to wait for a Labour victory at the election…Unfortunately they aren't likely to restrain #AI; if anything,the opposite. It looks like stopping the megamachine is going to be down to ordinary workers & communities.Where is #NedLudd when you need him?"

One of my AI fears is that these text churn bots will pretty shortly start breaking the cardinal rules:

* Don't get high on your own supply.
* Don't shit where you eat.

Producing a feedback loop of increasing nonsense by constantly dumping garbage information into the data sets they're drawing from.

Sabotage, after all, is not incompatible with social distancing.

Today's history fact: #JohnMastodon studied social network theory with #NedLudd

Of course, as well as the irruptions of the divine in the Fediverse strata, #JohnMastodon represents a return of the multi-user persona, in the tradition of #NedLudd, #JerryCornelius, #LutherBlissett and others.

Significantly, the bird site has increasingly become fixated by the authority of the Blue Tick to indicate fixity of identity. The alternative is fluidity, which was a key aspect of the game of masques that was the 20th Century iteration of teh interwebs.
