‘What’s the difference between me reading your work?” Sam #Altman (ChatGPT) asked.
‘It’s all free to read. What’s the difference? You’re outputting to potentially millions of people for commercial gain for no recompense, said [#Cadwalladr].
‘It’s fair use, he countered. It’s really not, I said. You’ve ingested the entire body of my work. It’s so easy to establish that.
And he was gone. Back to the controls of the tank that is soon to roll over all of us.’
So glad Carol #Cadwalladr got to write her final piece in the #Observer about her second #TED talk ‘This is what a digital coup looks like’ that took place last week…at the time she gave it and pitched the accompanying piece to new owners #TortoiseMedia it was rejected.
@_elena Where have I heard this kind of criticism before? Oh, that's right—people scolded and berated Greta Thunberg for traveling on airplanes or even using electricity! How dare she use fossil fuel energy, right?
Give me a break! #Cadwalladr needs the reach to drive change and spread her message. You're trying to elevate yourself by diminishing her.
We are faceing the rising tide of fascism, we need to support each other—not sniping at one another.
You're absolutely #despicable.

Journalist Carole #Cadwalladr helped break the data abuse by #Facebook with the Cambridge Analytica Story, effectively taking on all of #SiliconValley . She was sued, digitally stalked, and paid a huge price for speaking truth to power, as you can see in this new talk at TED, a venue she has chosen very consciously. Her dire warning: Cambridge Analytica was chicken feed compared to the #broligarchy coup happening today

"Cherish facts and privacy. You're gonna miss them when they're gone."
About #broligarchy, how #Instagram is now the Stasi and we should begin to act as if we were living in the GDR. How to speak to power and how we are stronger than we think.
What a brilliant, powerful and courageous #Tedtalk by Carole #Cadwalladr.
Please watch and share.

“We are already living in an architecture of totalitarianism”, says Carole Cadwalladr. She knows what she’s talking about (Google her). She argues we all need to urgently strengthen our privacy protections.
“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 details a fast-moving technological coup and the rise of the “broligarchy”: an unprecedentedly powerful class of tech executives (like Elon Musk) who are complicit in dismantling democracy and enabling authoritarian control across the world. She shares a guide on how to digitally disobey in this age of runaway corporate power, data harvesting and mass surveillance — and reminds you that you have more power than you think.
“It harvests our data in order to sell us stuff.
We are already living inside the architecture of totalitarianism.”
“We now are in techno-authoritarianism.
We have to learn how to digitally disobey.
That can be as simple as the dropdown box. Don't accept the cookies, don't give your real name”

I obserwację mojego kanału @spoleczny - będzie pojawiać się więcej materiałów, bo to, co się dzieje, wymaga działania. A w Google i innych korpo-mediach możecie tego nie znaleźć.
Carole Cadwalladr po 3 latach procesów sądowych SLAPP, wytoczonych jej za ujawnienie afery Cambridge Analitica, wróciła na TED. Przestrzega nas, opisując dosadnie to, co się teraz dzieje. Zamach w wykonaniu techbros i Trumpa. Broligarchii.
Polecam, zrobiłem polskie napisy i wrzuciłem na tube, by nie zniknęło. Można też zaobserwować kanał @spoleczny
I nie zaszkodzi podbić, niech się niesie historia tej silnej kobiety i jej ostrzeżenie dla nas. 
‘#TED is ground zero of the #AI gold rush. But there was also cheerleading and l’ve been overwhelmed by huge love and support from others who see exactly what is happening. It’s the weirdest time to be here.
And it was the weirdest energy from an audience of any talk I’ve ever given. But then, it was intended to make them uncomfortable.
Politics is technology now.
#SiliconValley is desperate to deny that, but it can’t and nor can we.’

Carole #Cadwalladr is one very brave investigative journalist. Last time she did a TED talk in 2019 it almost ended her career, took the roof from over her head and severely impacted her mental well-being.
But she’s back.
Talking truth to power.
The talk is less than 20 mins. It’s definitely worth your time.
This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like | Carole Cadwalladr | #TED
Carole #Cadwalladr is back! She was among the first and bravest journalists calling out #CambridgeAnaytica social media impact, she identified Brexit targeted propaganda as a dry run for the 2016 US elections, and survived a year-long court case against her.
She's at #TED again for an update on our descent into the Broligarchy.
Nearly 500 journalists are on strike at the #Guardian and its sister paper, the Sunday-only #Observer, to protest the planned sale of the Observer to a small digital startup.
"We believe it's a total betrayal of the Guardian's values and promises that it's made," says #Carole #Cadwalladr, an investigative reporter and feature writer for the Observer.
"The sale of the Observer to a loss-making startup is potentially the death of this historic brand."
The strike, which started Wednesday, is expected to last for two days this week and restart for a couple more days next week.
Cadwalldr says the strike is intended to convince the Observer's owner to slow down a process that the paper's union says is sprinting to a preordained conclusion.
She says colleagues believe other suitors could emerge if further review shows the Guardian should divest itself of the Sunday paper.
The Observer is a storied liberal title whose first issue came out on this date in 1791.
It is believed to be the world's oldest Sunday paper.
Its famous journalists include George Orwell. And it was central to the launch of the human rights group Amnesty International.
The buyer is #Tortoise #Media, a well-regarded but small news outlet founded in 2019
and led by #James #Harding, the former director of BBC News and editor of The Times of London.
Its tagline is "slow down, wise up."
It promises to delve into what's driving the news rather than simply post the latest headlines.
It has not yet turned a profit but has deep-pocketed backers,
including the investment arm of the Thomson family that controls Reuters and owns the Globe and Mail newspaper in Canada.

Well, that seems alarmingly accurate.
The UK being used as a testbed for tactics to be used in the US.
People are prepared for Trump to call it all fake and try and overturn the results through legal means.
Are they prepared for incitement to civil war?
That is very anxiety provoking and I'm not seeing holes in the logic other than "I don't like it".
Interesting piece by Carole #Cadwalladr on Yanis #Varoufakis’s latest book, “Technofeudalism: what killed capitalism”.
Maybe #Technofeudalism is its latest reincarnation rather than the end of #Capitalism, but a good term nonetheless to describe our age. Just a shame that neither Varoufakis nor Cadwalladr seem to have made it to #Mastodon yet (maybe not even left #X? I don’t know) - maybe soon
