↪ Replying to @Grinblo
@Grinblo Thank you for retweets Evgenia. Any brilliance I happen to reflect is only borne out of the many people I interact with who help me see new perspectives. Of which you are one. Will always remember how you saved @beantin and me in the most fumbling intro in @uxpodcast history 😄
I just read a comment on here that I thought was a well-reasoned reflection. And it was only afterwards I looked at who wrote it and my reaction was, ”huh... but I usually don’t like how this person expresses themselves”.
Challenging my prejudices, it’s a daily obstacle course.
In Obama’s reading list for 2019, the very top one: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by @shoshanazuboff, of course criticizes the mass surveillance enabled by Obama himself - quite harshly. Did he stop to consider the power he handed over to Trump?

Of course, to those outside looking in, it looks like vampirism. But this is one of those stories where you have to fight with your own prejudices.

@round 💯 I’m reading The Intelligence Trap by David Robson and it’s just gnawing on me in every decision.
I'm just fascinated by how much I love paced.email by @rikkipitt.
The usability and usefulness of just providing a unique, paced alias for all online services - by just typing the address how I want(!) - is almost too good to be true.
paced.email
I mean, once you have chosen a username you just type new e-mail addresses that are logical, unique and forward to your primary e-mail at the pace you want.
I'm actually not sure I can explain. You have to try it to understand the brilliance.
Also, thanks to @arnklint for telling me about the service.
↪ Replying to @timo3000
@timo3000 In some sense yes. Many orgs are fighting for this. My worry is that the potential for deception is already extremely high and affecting large populations before we reach AI. Hence the danger of cheapfake. And ever faster news cycles don't support debunking of cheapfakes.
Deepfake.
Media where a person is replaced with the likeness of a another. Uses ML/AI to manipulate/generate visual/audio content with high potential to deceive.
Cheapfake.
Altering media with inexpensive tools to create illusions of a behavior that did not happen.
Both matter.

@WolfgangBremer Radical compassion by design.
I miss being bored. Truly being bored. Today I might make an effort to be bored, but that isn't how it's supposed to work is it...
People sometimes get the wrong idea, and some friends were asking what happened, so I put down in a blog post - with reference links - why I deleted my Facebook account.

@Emil_Mauritzson It's a social network simulator where I am the only human and have a million bots who are obsessed with me. 😂

I joined Botnet and you won’t believe what happened next.
My post: ”The act of harming people has never been more efficient than today thanks to automation. Yay...”
Bots: [ironic responses galore... on many levels]
