Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Neurotech Age - new book outlines some alarming scenarios and raises significant bioethical and individual privacy issues. Looks like a ‘must read’ to me. #neurotechnology #neurotech #neurology #neuroscience #surveillance #control #brain #thinking #freethinking https://www.amazon.com/Battle-Your-Brain-Defending-Neurotechnology-ebook/dp/B09Y45MY2V

At what point while dreaming up utopic futures where robots perform all the menial hard labor for no money leaving humanity to pursue meaningful lives of leisure writing music and making art did my parents generation fuck up and instead create the opposite

@HistoPol @nycCatHerder @LadyDragonfly I’m not sure if they will spiral out of human control per se.

It’s just that the control will be so damned networked and ”everywhere all at once”, that enacting it will either require even more fine-grained control of human society, or just be impossible.

To prove a point, I think it already is like that. Facebook, Twitter and Youtube are not in #control of their #networks. OpenAI won’t be either. They’ll just keep pretending they are.

"#Facebook*, #Twitter + #YouTube are not in #control of their #networks. #OpenAI won’t be either."

i/:I could've rested my case...:/i
except...

"They’ll just keep pretending they are."

IMO, they've been admitting, they are not.
They are calling 4 legislation 2 limit their liability:
#IdentityTheft, #CopyrightViolations, #Scamming, etc.
Each one has, maybe, the potential 2..

“How AI enhances corporate power

AI boosters love to talk about all the supposed benefits we’ll get from widespread adoption of chatbots and other generative AI tools… But all those benefits are theoretical, and if we know anything about Silicon Valley, it’s that they have a bad record of following through on the positive aspects of their visions, while underestimating — or distracting us from — the many drawbacks”

Neat, #Control has an Alan Wake DLC. I haven't played Alan Wake though...

Doing research around the Return to Office (why shorten that to RTO btw?)

Hypothesis: This is just another battle in the war between leadership and talent. An unnecessary internal power struggle that is wasting energy. Leaders/Mgrs want observability and talent wants autonomy, to be trusted.

Agree/Disagree? Why?

Yes and yes.

However, for "some" petty managers, this is (also) about (feeling in) #control and not about performance.

A good starting point would be a representative study asking current and retired managers and other leaders their top 3 reasons why they wanted to become a manager/leader.

Watching Control for a second (third?) time and the foreshadowing of how Ian will take his own life is absolutely heartbreaking.
