What happens when trust in human institutions collapses, and who benefits from the vacuum? I wrote an article covering the Dutch benefits scandal, Robodebt, the Epstein files, the war on Iran, and why the pitch for algorithmic governance gets louder every time something awful comes to light.

It ends with things you can actually do.

@sophiekaz great article. A good friend of mine warned about the consequences of heavy data colletion from all of us almost 10 years ago. All the people said, I have nothing to hide. But if your life, for example your (shopping) behaviour, your acivities in social media, is analyzed and correlated, any automated decocion can affect you.
You already have showed real eamples, not to think what happens if ll the secrets people have told a GPT model are analyed and brought into decission making.

@evischreck thank you. Your friend was ahead of the curve. "Nothing to hide" was always the wrong question. It was never about hiding. It was about what happens when that data gets fed into systems that score you. And you've touched on something I wish I'd covered - what people have poured into ChatGPT: health worries, finances, legal questions. All training data now. If that gets cross-referenced with the kind of risk-scoring I wrote about, the Dutch scandal will look like a rehearsal.
