The Singularity is Here: A.I. advertising technology is poisoning our societies
- mark_l_watson 5y agoVery nice article, I am passing the link on to non-tech friends and family. For more details I like "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power" by Shoshana Zuboff and also "Privacy is Power: Why and How You Should Take Back Control of Your Data" by Carissa Veliz.
- huitzitziltzin 5y agoNot a great article. This point in particular is false: > Daniel Kahneman’s seminal work in behavioral psychology has demonstrated the effectiveness of unconscious priming. This is simply not true. Priming studies do not replicate and not one of those results should be taken seriously at all. Priming as described in the social psychology literature and as used in this article is not a real phenomenon. Read this article or don’t, but if you do read it I don’t think you’re getting any particular insight into anything at all, just some vague, uninformed scaremongering.

- jart 5y ago> I don’t think you’re getting any particular insight into anything at all, just some vague, [...] Maybe the author will come out a week later on Twitter and say, surprise! my article about ai automation was written with an ai assistant.
- huitzitziltzin 5y agoMan if this is actually GPT-3 publishing under a pseudonym I am totally going to have to revise my comment…
