It sounds like you're failing to grasp the true implications here. Sure, there is loss of privacy, but there is massive efficiency to be gained for both businesses and end consumers. As with everything we will have to make tradeoffs, and as time goes on I hope privacy considerations will continue play a larger role in the debate.
- bakhy 12y agoi don't know why you think i failed to grasp that. there are benefits, i agree. i just don't see any such great or important benefits which would justify this almost complete destruction of the notion of privacy. can you give me some examples? PS there's a lot more to life than efficiency ;)
- knowaveragejoe 12y agoYou're using the negative connotation of efficiency that should really be discarded. It doesn't only mean "more, faster, because higher profits, work like crazy until you die", that notion is extremely narrow for what efficiency actually means. Efficiency saves lives right now. It is also what will enable us to save our species from the destruction of the planet. In a world as populated as ours, efficiency is by and large what the very concept of sustainability itself consists of.
- bakhy 12y agoyou are again projecting some notions of yours into me, than correcting your own projections as if i actually said that. if you would be interested in having a conversation, we might try that. till then, buh-bye.
