I feel like it would be foolish to pass up the opportunity to be studied by algorithms. I hope that the rich data about me one day becomes useful in even more fantastic ways than simply marketing advertisements to me.
- Crito 13y agoYou are not being studied by algorithms. When you go to the doctor, you are not inspected by a stethoscope, you are not inspected by an X-ray CT, you are not inspected by a scale. You are inspected by a doctor who is using those things. When I make decisions about consent, I am not primarily considering if I trust the tool. I am considering if I trust the person using the tool. My doctor wants to stick me in an X-ray CT? Okay, I'll consent to that. My employer or my insurance company wants to stick me in an X-ray CT? They can fuck right off. You are being studied with algorithms.
