Carole Cadwalladr: "It’s not too late to stop Trump and the tech broligarchy from controlling our lives, but we must act now"

"We now have to start acting like we live in East Germany and Instagram is the Stasi."
[correctly: German Democratic Republic]
"Forget the killer robots, if you want to know what the first grade of AI apocalypse is, we're already living it: it's total information collapse."
“We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start,” says investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. In a searing talk, she decries the rise of the “broligarchy” — the powerful tech executives who are using their global digital platforms to amass unprecedented geopolitical power, dismantling democracy and enabling authoritarian control across the world. Her rallying cry: resist data harvesting and mass surveillance, and support others in a groundswell of digital disobedience. “You have more power than you think,” she says.

#Digital vs. #Democracy
Not tech! People building first!
#Tech people are blind basically building the future trouble.
(We have enough already STOP)
Just use existing great basic things towards and focus on #friendships / increment #trust increase #people togetherness)
Not just solo work to make the next greatest weapon / crap / disposable code / or whatever.
People, not so much tech!

Carole Cadwalladr returns with a #TED talk and asks to not mince words any longer, and see the happenings in the US for what they are: a #DigitalCoup. It's a chilling yet powerful speech, and a call to action. I highly recommend you to watch it.

Musk’s loyalists at #DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the #AI.

Inspirierender Beitrag von @RainerMuehlhoff zum US-Umsturz, den er digitalen Staatsstreich nennt https://rainermuehlhoff.de/DLF-Radiofeuilleton-Staatsstreich-Trump-Musk/
#ZeynepTufekci nennt es in der #newyorktimes den Autoritären den #root Zugang geben.
Es wäre bezaubernd, wenn wir in Europa nicht die gleichen Fehler machten!

There is an intriguing piece by Mühlhoff on the #digitalcoup in the #US under #Trump & #Musk
Tufekci called it giving the #authoritarians root access in the #NYT
Please do not copy-paste, Europe!
