The treat from AI: algorithmic blacklisting

I am used to being laughed about and getting linked to the stone age for mentioning the risks of privacy breaches, customer profiling and unlimited, uncritical use of AI technology. Many people got educated from child age on nowadays to always embrace new tech stuff uncritically, since new tech always is good.

Consider that article as another invitation by well-meaning, friendly und patient fate to ring your alarm bells, even if you consider it to be annoying and hit the snooze button as soon as you can. One day, sooner or later, you will reach out - and find that the snooze button is gone, and that your life is heading for a hard crash-impacting on the brutal ground of reality.

So doze on, if you think that is clever.

I've said this already six years ago here, even this very site fell for this if you remember Google stopped it's adverts here because of two words that were completely unrelated, but picked up somehow.

Connecting dots with algorhythms using metadata have already killed people, if you think of drones. No direct reading of messages necessary any more.

Google, Apple, Microsoft, they are all working on removing our privacy, and we celebrate them as new technology, modern, and hip. I remember political demonstations against giving away data here, now all the world post it openly on facebook.

If i were a thief i'd read FB and when people are out to watch a show etc., but it's not only the official criminals. It's also the perfectly legal companies, like banks, and health insurances a.s.o.. You cannot do anything against it as long as you have a bank account. They will give info about your status to any other bank.
Posted you need a job somewhere? Kiss your credit goodbye, and don't try to ask another bank. Over 60? No credit for you, also you just wrote somewhere your car broke down and you could not afford to fix it this month.

It probably helps millionaires though. If not Trump

Has anyone noted the terrible irony of Skybird coming to the internet to tell everybody how terrible the internet is yes? If no, then there is a lot of irony in Skybird using the internet to tell everyone how terrible the internet is.
