@pepicrft @mattburgess yes, I was surprised to see Spain being so vocal about this. More and more countries joining in on this :-( I can’t figure out whether these politicians just need to be educated, or whether they actually know *exactly* what they’re doing. But it’s bad either way. 5 comments
@pepicrft @mattburgess I don’t know how exactly we stop these kinds of big tech sellouts. I guess us choosing to be here and learning and sharing news about it is a start. But with so many crises competing for attention it’s tough to get friends and family and colleagues to take notice of what’s happening. And these companies know that too. @stefanf28 @mattburgess right? I wonder the same thing. When I talk to friends I notice a techno optimism that blinds them. - Oh look what I can do with ChatGPT So I try to present them with a different perspective, at least to get them to think. @pepicrft @mattburgess well done for doing that. The speed at which people are willing to hand over some deeply personal insights to an unaccountable, still relatively unknown corporate entity is scary. I mean, we’ve seen this kind of behaviour before of course - but this thing is next level. The pushback I normally get is classic: “but I have nothing to hide!” @stefanf28 @mattburgess or they don’t know all the insights that they can get by aggregating data and what they can do with them. We need more education around this subject. |

@stefanf28 @mattburgess I think Spain is far behind in understanding tech and corporations like OpenAI and Amazon know about it. They are vendor-locking them into their offering to gather the government and country’s data.
So these news are not really suspending after what I’ve seen.
