This instructional video was so helpful for me! I was unable to understand what prediction products were until this video!!!! Thank you Btw I predict you will continue to create awesome videos!!! Do I have a buyer?
Just read the book, this is an excellent summary. Thank you. However, I think the book is flawed by being overly negative and cynical towards technology, after all, it's not all bad for the users.
The best way to stop the algorothm is to CONFUSE it. Search about EVERYTHING you might accidentally think of. i.e.: butterflies, swimming pools, guitars, trumpets, pianos, mozart, beethoven, seashells, birds, tigers, cars, bikes, wwII airplanes, brazil, nepal, sunglasses, baseball, ... WHATEVER.
@@mutedsounds2k I understand the sentiment, however, it it still incredibly easy to “sift through the noise” and see which topics you were actually interested in. A simple behavioral signal such as time spent on a web page before returning to the search results shows A) content relevance to your search, and B) interest in the searched topic. Your behavior on when searching a topic you’re actively looking for vs one you’re you’re search for to confuse their model is different - maybe not different enough for a human to recognize, but more than enough for a program purpose built to find patterns to recognize. The only true fire solution is to simply not use these products that surveil us, but becoming a Luddite makes it so you are not able to “participate” in society.
Frankly, it's just capitalism. There is nothing new to slap "surveillance" as a qualifier. That serves for Zuboff's career and seminars inside the walls of academia. She described how this type of tech company makes more money, not anything novel or a relevant critique to capitalism.
Not really. Simple capitalism is about reinvesting surplus production in order to create security and/or more surplus. This stuff is about controlling people, not products.
