@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.

@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
- They show me things to buy that align perfectly with my preferences

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.
Sadly, the government doesn’t seem interested in changing that — the less citizens know, the better
