HOE SOCIAAL ZIJN ONZE SOCIALE MEDIA? 🤔 Over deze vraag mocht ik in gesprek bij Data Morgana, een talkshow over de #toekomst van het #internet📱 Het valt me op dat de termen #socialmedia en #BigTech vaak door elkaar worden gebruikt. Wat mij betreft onterecht. Sociale media zijn in essentie niet goed of slecht, het gaat erom hoe ze worden ingezet. De vraag is of we dit vanuit een verdienmodel doen of vanuit publieke waarden: at5.nl/artikelen/231584/hoe-so Dank @publicspaces en @Digi_tien voor de invite!

"Now consider the chatbot therapist: what are its privacy safeguards? Well, the companies may make some promises about what they will and won't do with the transcripts of your AI sessions, but they are lying. Of course they're lying! AI companies lie about what their technology can do (of course). They lie about what their technologies will do. They lie about money. But most of all, they lie about data.

There is no subject on which AI companies have been more consistently, flagrantly, grotesquely dishonest than training data. When it comes to getting more data, AI companies will lie, cheat and steal in ways that would seem hacky if you wrote them into fiction, like they were pulp-novel dope fiends:
(...)
But it's not just people struggling with their mental health who shouldn't be sharing sensitive data with chatbots – it's everyone. All those business applications that AI companies are pushing, the kind where you entrust an AI with your firm's most commercially sensitive data? Are you crazy? These companies will not only leak that data, they'll sell it to your competition. Hell, Microsoft already does this with Office365 analytics:
(...)
These companies lie all the time about everything, but the thing they lie most about is how they handle sensitive data. It's wild that anyone has to be reminded of this. Letting AI companies handle your sensitive data is like turning arsonists loose in your library with a can of gasoline, a book of matches, and a pinky-promise that this time, they won't set anything on fire."

i dati di 2,8 miliardi di profili di utenti #X (attivi e no) sarebbero stati esfiltrati

201 milioni è il numero di profili attivi i cui dati potrebbero essere utilizzati per campagne di phishing (le password degli account non sarebbero tra i dati rubati)

I dati sarebbero stati estratti da dipendenti di X

Nulla da dire riguardo alle impeccabili misure di sicurezza della società.

Mac4Ever · Fuite massive de données chez X : 2,8 milliards de comptes seraient concernésUne base de données de 400 Go, contenant les informations de près de 2,8 milliards de comptes X, a été publiée sur un forum de hackers. Une fuite qui…

Not sure why NYTimes even bothers to write this 15 page Terms and Conditions when this single sentence says "all bets are off: we have no idea where your data goes, but it's all up for grabs".

It's like the person house sitting for you says "I will not let anyone look at the passwords on your computer except for, I don't know, some people who come over to party with me while I'm watching your house."

Kind of a deal breaker.

Waarschijnlijk kennen jullie de blog van @mboelen al: linux.vooreenbeginner.nl/
Hieraan ga ik een kleine bijdrage leveren, ik maak video's van de hoofdstukken / onderdelen die Michael behandelt, als ik ze tenminste ook begrijp, zelf ben ik geen ICT-er. Enkele video's zijn reeds gereed, zie: tube.spdns.org/c/uitleg_videos.
