    Incredible example of data fetishism.. 🙄 The problem is that people actually believe in this stuff..

    “Microsoft patent filings describe a system for deriving and predicting ‘overall quality scores’ for meetings using data such as body language, facial expressions, room temperature, time of day, and number of people in the meeting.” 😵

    Data monopolies, having grown gargantuan from gorging themselves on personal data, now paternalistically cast themselves as the people’s guarantors of privacy.

    Nah, arguing for robot rights is more like arguing for rights for your refrigerator or your toaster... wven worse, arguing for more rights for big tech to surveil, monitor and control the most vulnerable.

    Replying to @BGilroy @atg_abhishek and 4 others
    Robot rights are a lot like space travel: we should study and understand extraterrestrial reality, but the moon landing was a big-swinging-dick project that consumed resources that could have been spent on education, food, and housing

    How to evaluate a cybersecurity vendor's ML claims even if you don't know much about ML (thread). 1) Ask them why they didn't solely rely on rules/signatures in their system -- why is ML necessary? If they don't have a clear explanation, deduct a point.

    So far the most comprehensive report on how all kinds of mobile apps share or sell location data with data brokers, who in turn sell it to US military and defense contractors, all without the users' knowledge. The mobile app ecosystem is totally broken.

    Ik heb een spelletje gemaakt! Het idee is simpel, het spel nog best lastig: plaats de Nederlandse gemeentes of woonplaatsen op de kaart. Hoe dichterbij, hoe meer punten!
