Excellent read. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this. I share the author’s discomfort with a lot of this. I’ve been pondering lately on the idea of a tool having its own ends, which I think is territory we have gone over here. It seems obvious to me that this is part of the end of tools like Internet of Things. In 1649, there was no possible way for King Charles I or his men to chase around the countryside monitoring when women did their washing. But now King Charles III’s men can get a dumb computer to watch it for him. There is already a level of monitoring on ordinary citizens that is pretty shocking when you consider the amount of privacy we had even 20 years ago.
