Schon krass: #LG zwingt mich als Nutzer eines seiner Fernsehgeräte zuzustimmen, dass sie mein komplettes Sehverhalten erfassen und an Dritte weitergeben. Wenn ich das nicht tue, darf ich auf diesem Gerät noch nicht mal Netflix starten - für das ich 20 Euro monatlich zahle.

Wie komme ich aus der Nummer raus ohne diesen Fernseher zu schrotten? Und gibt es einen Gerätehersteller, der das nicht auf die gleiche Weise macht...?

If you want to understand the horrifying future these tech billionaire nazis have in store for humanity, it helps to understand what parts of our "glorious past" as a species they're looking to recreate. This interview with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign information sciences and media studies professor Anita Say Chan talks a bit about the history of data and eugenics, what it means that guys like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (along with most of Silicon Valley's movers and shakers) are devout believers in eugenicist philosophies, and how that's reflected in their efforts to reshape society in horrifying, and objectively fascist ways. In terms of our discussion about the uber rich fascists who heavily influence the Trump regime they bought and paid for, I'm mostly including this here to point out that these guys have gone on record in support of a lot of openly fascist shit and for the most part, your media pretends we don't already know these guys are nazis; it's not a secret, it's just not "worth mentioning" when media orgs are fawning over technofascist billionaires destroying our planet and our lives.

Eugenics Isn’t Dead—It’s Thriving in Tech

"Big Tech successors like Musk and PayPal billionaire-turned-arms dealer Peter Thiel have overtly promoted fraudulent race science, with Musk amplifying users on X who argue that people of European descent are biologically superior. In response to another user’s deleted post suggesting that students at historically Black institutions have lower IQs, Musk posted, “It will take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy of DIE”—diversity, equity, and inclusion, misspelled. In 2016, Thiel buddied up to a prominent white nationalist, and, the same year, was said by a Stanford dorm-mate to have complimented South Africa’s “economically sound” system of racial apartheid."

'Two hundred forty-six researchers in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology — including two from Clemson University — worked in 174 teams to answer two different research questions based on the same unpublished data sets.

They came up with a strikingly variable range of answers, including some that were direct opposites of each other.'

Ist doch eigentlich ganz einfach.

Man kauft keinen #tesla und man benutzt #palantir nicht, wenn man nicht die falschen Leute noch mächtiger machen will.

Nur so eine Idee: Man benutzt ein paar Millionen von den Milliarden und entwickelt selber eine #bigdata Lösung und fördert damit die lokale Softwareindustrie. Oder noch besser: Man lässt es einfach ganz.

Für die Entscheidung des #bundesrat hab ich jedenfalls kein Verständnis.

netzpolitik.org · Palantir: Wer jetzt bei Peter Thiel Software kauft, hat wirklich nichts verstandenDer Bundesrat will, dass die Polizei bundesweit Palantir als Software einsetzt. Das Unternehmen gehört dem rechten Milliardär und Strippenzieher Peter Thiel. Diesem Feind der Demokratie Geld und Daten in den Rachen zu werfen, ist unverantwortlich. Ein Kommentar.

Und warum stehen #CDU/ #CSU/ #AfD so auf die #BigData [#Palantir & Co.] Systeme (neben gewöhnlicher #Korruption & "#Lobbyismus natürlich) - weil sich ihre Vorstellungen einer rassistischen & klassistischen #Terrorherrschaft auf die Art ganz fein und unbemerkt neben der geltenden Rechtslage implementieren lassen.

#Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz, #BürgerRechte, #Einspruchsmöglichkeiten, #Transparenz - das existiert alles innerhalb der polizeilichen #Totalüberwachung nicht.

Take, for example, the rich Viking Period graves of Birka. They are absolutely essential for research into that period. But Stolpe excavated and documented them in the 1870s and 1880s. Then the finds and bones and paper archive were not very well curated in a museum until the 1930s, when Arbman collated the information, and published it in the 1940s. Finally both versions of what these graves were like was put online ten years ago.

Now and then people from data science suggest to me that they should be able to do something interesting with big archaeological data. But there's a naïveté in their concept of "data". I always sigh and tell them that they have no idea how unstandardised our data are. Even if you could scan it all from the paper media it's on, any pattern-seeking algorithm would primarily catch the history of changing archaeological documentation practices.

Can anyone reccomend a book or documentary that explains how companies like Google and Microsoft make money from surveillance of users? I understand some of the basics, but would really like a deep understanding. Preferably something aimed at laypeople, rather than people with a tech professional background. Thanks!
