Klockan 16 idag pratar jag på Internetdagarna i spåret Digital moral och internets etik, som anordnas av @sanasilb och @deeped.
Klockan 16 släpper jag också mitt blogginlägg som är en ungefärlig transkribering av presentationen, för dig som vill ta del av innehållet.

"Use the first moments in study. You may miss many an opportunity for quick victory this way, but the moments of study are ensurance of success. Take your time, and be sure."

This holiday season, Amazon will move millions of packages at dizzying speed. Internal injury reports suggest all that convenience is coming at the expense of worker safety. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
Mandatory reading of this thread. And then head over to the article.
Around the clock surveillance, arrest by algoritm and mass placement in internment camps. Living in a perpetual state of terror. This is what happens when we stop caring about other human beings. x.com/BethanyAllenEb…

@Agent_654 I thought I said it hadn't? 😬 Did I word it wrong?

@weylandswart I haven't yet actually. I do pay several news sites and have started supporting individuals on Patreon. So that's usually the way I support.
Definitely is related :)

@sanford943 @sarahkendzior Thanks. Her podcast is the best. I started listening a few months ago and became a supporter on Patreon. :)
I think I need a thread about books I’m interested in reading. And I’ll start with Fiona Hill’s, because of the impression she had on me during the public hearing.
« Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin »
co-authored with Clifford G. Gaddy

This book by @merbroussard wants us to understand when it’s relevant to apply new technology and when it’s not.

I expect this book should be in everyone's library.

1. ”We are now working on agreement with the taliban.”
So the president called into Fox News today and from what I’ve been able to gather online it was not an easy ”conversation” to comprehend.
The uncomfortable postures of the hosts was rather clear though. x.com/ZalmaiAfghaN/s…
2. Crowdstrike is an American company based in Sunnyvale, California, founded by George Kurtz (from New Jersey) and Dmitri Alperovitch (American born in Russia).

3. Believe the autocrat. Humans seek refuge in denial when confronted with the publicly unacceptable.

4. This is the American president saying he would be in lots of trouble if he had not fired the Director of the FBI. x.com/atrupar/status…
5. Apparently Marie Yovanovitch was responsible for hanging his portrait. She served as ambassador to Kyrgyzstan 2005-2008 and ambassador to Armenia 2008-2011. x.com/atrupar/status…
6. The reaction by Kilmeade here is priceless. ”You electrified the wall?” x.com/MattGertz/stat…
7. Don’t watch the whole interview. No, really, don’t.

@daveixd @berndtsson My visit to Interaction 19 was awesome. Great quality. I always want to mention UXLx as well.
Re-reading @MashaGessen from 2016.
"Trump is the first candidate in memory who ran not for president but for autocrat—and won."
In this article she outlined 6 rules for survival in an autocracy:
nybooks.com/daily/2016/11/…
#1. Believe the autocrat.
He actually means what he says, even when people think that he's joking/exaggerating. Humans are in denial when "when confronted publicly with the unacceptable".
#2. Do not be taken in by small signs of normality.
Catastrophes unfold over time. The slowness of this change is devious, because when people wake up to its reality, it will seem as if it happened overnight.
#3. Institutions will not save you.
Gessen in 2016: "The national press is likely to be among the first institutional victims of Trumpism."
The institutions are enshrined in political culture rather than law. "Coverage, and thinking, will drift in a Trumpian direction."
#4. Be outraged.
"But in the face of the impulse to normalize, it is essential to maintain one’s capacity for shock."
People will call you unreasonable and hysterical. Be prepared to be that person.
#5. Don’t make compromises.
"In an autocracy, politics as the art of the possible is in fact utterly amoral." People will say that cooperation is essential for the future. This means that you ignore, and allow, corruption and criminal behavior.
#6. Remember the future.
Trumpism will not last, but the societal change is real. We need to be better at imagining and demonstrating alternative futures.
As designers, we should be thinking speculative & critical design, ethical futurism and strategic foresight.
On my wish list this December are a couple of books from @mashagessen. Check out her bibliography here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masha_Ges…
