they live glasses but for tech industry comment pieces 😎

John Nada taking off and putting back on his sunglasses in the movie "They Live" (the glasses allow to see the true nature of the world, the ways you are being manipulated and the beings manipulating you). With them off the article he's looking at says "Why we should stop fetishizing privact, Big tech companies create jobs, encourage innovation and provide valuable services free. Why would we want to break them up?"; with the glasses on this changes to "My revenue streams rely on your data, I'm engaged in a business model which requires you to be spied on all the time; that's why this piece exists"

@Mojeek “encourage innovation”
ChatGPT, write me an essay detailing how everyone and their VC firm’s aunt pivoting to AI while tossing their employees away constitutes “encouraging innovation”.

@Mojeek@mastodon.social
This is just one of those think tanks that will also have articles promoting lowering wages below the poverty line because it stimulates workers to perform better.

@Mojeek Look like standard-issue "They live"-glasses to me!

@Mojeek "We'll use the word 'fetishizing' to make it seem wrong to want privacy!"

They're not the least but discreet about it 🤡

@Mojeek Doublespeak makes the business world go 'round.

@Mojeek who are the advertisers puppets who wrote that?

Surprised how well this advert is working till this day.

@Mojeek its gotten out of hand. I've had dozens of cases in recent months where I'm shown ads online which I cant help but conclude are based on spying on my private life in some way. I've had to wrack my brains to theorize how they do it at times. serious abuse of telemetry and passive surveillance and de-anonymizing algos is going on

@Mojeek "The companies also provide income to millions of non-employees, including Airbnb hosts, Instagram influencers, eBay sellers, and Uber and Lyft drivers. If we constrict their fuel — data — we may hurt not only the quality, cost and speed of their services, but also the drivers of growth for the world’s economy. "

Dear god 😂

Maybe I could also make more money with my product if there weren't these regulations about no poison in its material. Or with new foods.
All this testing for it inhibits progress!

@Mojeek It's no surprise that the author's entrepreneurial ventures were related to affiliate marketing and analytics. 🤡

@Mojeek Spot on. And in case else is wondering, the author of that opinion is indeed an entrepreneur and investor in the "digital marketing" space: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidi_Me

Johanna Janiszewski

@Mojeek ok, I suggest the author goes first and publishes their search history and medical data online

@Mojeek a fantastic film, more relevant today than ever before

Why We Should Stop Fetishizing Workplace Safety

Big mining companies create jobs, encourage innovation, and provide valuable resources. Why would we want to break them up by restricting child labor in coal mines?

Rue Mohr

@Mojeek which is why we should start AIs shoveling fake data at them. in 3 months it will all be worthless forever.

George Liquor :verified:

@Mojeek We need to be naming and shaming the authors of propaganda. In this case it's Heidi Messer, a marketing CEO whose business model very much does depend on us giving up our privacy.

Once again, shame on the NYT for platfoming such trash, but that's kind of what they exist for in this moment
