It's like those old documents from 17th century plantations calculating exactly how brutally to work the slaves so that they get the maximum output with the minimum investment so they all die at a rate which they can be easily replaced. Smartphone planned obsolescence, but instead of avoiding having to upgrade and patch existing systems, you're minimizing expenditures on food, reducing equipment lethality, and disposal of aging slaves.

I spoke with Marshall Brain about that story on a call in show a few years ago and he said he saw it happening all around us.

It's minority report but less obvious.

Dead Beef posted:The place where I work has developed their own variation of this software used internally. It ranks workers based on how likely they are to steal data, leak secrets, or consider changing jobs. Data is collected from social media, LinkedIn, internal emails, even financial records (having debt increases your risk). Any publicly available data could potentially be used. The system is used to make decisions about who should be assigned to do work. “considering changing jobs? how dare you! only I decide when it’s time for you to change jobs!”

Peanut President posted:pretty sure that exists OK here's a pitch: since natural language processing has advanced greatly, we could create an AI system that automatically spins news by phrasing or presenting it in ways (or with images) which provoke the strongest desired response from the viewer based on social media analytics so that everybody gets their own personalized presentation of news, optimized to manipulate behavior Homocow has issued a correction as of 09:25 on Dec 6, 2018 |

that's basically google news as it currently exists, it just curates sources/ads/consumer data instead of altering content. which it could probably do with it's data set but for the moment does not

https://breakermag.com/trapped-at-sea-with-cryptos-nouveau-riche/quote:I was told there would be an overall “Burning Man theme” to the adventure, guaranteed by the presence of Brock Pierce, the cryptocurrency mogul, former child actor, and one-man art installation about peer pressure. (More about him later.) I was anticipating evenings spent listening to crypto-hippies describe the angel-faced space elves they met when they took DMT. I was expecting to fetch water and painkillers for half-conscious corporate executives with dust in their perfect hair and no idea how to get home. I was expecting to get a bit carried away and end up shouting about the government and chalking poetry all over the walls. I was expecting to hear very rich men talk without blinking about tax planning and sacred geometry. I was expecting corporate-branded swimwear. I was expecting to meet smug Californian polyamorists, about whom smug European polyamorists like me are relentlessly judgy. Reader, all of these things transpired, but by the time they did they were a blessed relief.

Brock pierce lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Entertainment_Network quote:In October 1999, a young man from New Jersey identified only as Jake W. filed a lawsuit alleging that Collins-Rector had sexually molested him for 3 years beginning in 1993 when he was 13-years-old[2][19]. The lawsuit was filed just prior to DEN's scheduled IPO, causing concern among potential investors[20] and leading to the resignations of Collins-Rector, Shackley, and Pierce, leaving Ritts in charge[2][21]. Additional lawsuits against all three resigned executives followed[22][23]. The controversy and turmoil caused by the allegations led DEN to withdrew its IPO and subsequently filed for bankruptcy.[16]
