When #ai companies report an increase in users, is there a question of #consent ?
I end up with ai shoved in my eyeballs when I go to Google. I didn't ask for it. It's nonconsensual.
If your boss tells you you have to use it... fear of losing a job...
Let's take a breath and ask what consent looks like these days.
Yay, Spritely Institute (@spritely) presents what the future of distributed social networks might look like:

Semangat patriotik mestilah lahir secara sukarela dan berlandaskan nilai — bukan dipaksa oleh undang-undang atau tekanan sosial. Mendiamkan dan mengancam pengkritik atau menyuruh tunjuk patriotisme yang dibuat-buat adalah "censorship", bukan keprihatinan. Biarkan rakyat mengkritik dan membentuk negara dengan maruah.

Weaseling around with idiosyncratic meanings of “opt-in” is like weaseling around with idiosyncratic meanings of “consent,” @firefoxwebdevs (and @mozilla). Don’t do that.
Wir haben für euch eingeordnet, was »Wir respektieren Ihre Privatsphäre« in der Praxis oft bedeutet – und warum solche Wohlfühl-Sätze meist nichts beweisen. 👇

Go pet a little lizard. You'll feel better.
Listen, multiple men I don't know have dm'ed me saying they like what I've posted & we should be friends. That creeps me out. To me, it's the equivalent of walking into a stranger's house, sitting at their kitchen table & asking to be best friends.
If I don't know you & you DM me for any reason, regardless of how "nice" you're being, not only am I not responding I'm probably blocking you.
Don't dm women you don't know without asking them first. #consent

Things on my writing #ToDoList that have been for multiple years:
- #Levers vs #Microscopes, and different types of technologies that augment #labor
- Work worth NOT doing, and frameworks for determining whether other people’s buy-in and #consent should be needed for a person to do something (have #agency)
- There are #RebelsInTheDeathStar (this has probably been 10 years on the to-do list 🫠)
- It isn’t dead, yet, but #PrivacyIsInHospice
- The #FunEconomy, and new modes of measuring progress
Reuters: Exclusive-Despite new curbs, Elon Musk’s Grok at times produces sexualized images – even when told subjects didn’t consent. “Elon Musk’s flagship artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people even when users explicitly warn that the subjects do not consent, Reuters has found.”

Superb editorial by Marina Hyde in the Guardian. And #NoamChomsky ... how enraging:
"According to text signed under his first name that #Epstein sent to a lawyer and publicist in February 2019, months after the Miami Herald had run an explosive series of articles laying out the scale of Epstein’s serial underage sexual abuse and the perversion of justice that covered it up, #Chomsky sneered at “the hysteria that has developed about #abuse of women”. Wow. Never mind Manufacturing #Consent – have a read of Not Giving A Shit About Consent. I thought Chomsky cared about power and exploitative elites? Still, nice photo of him laughing it up with #SteveBannon

First in a series where I ask Claude to analyse the Two Valleys parable from various perspectives.
Sure, you could have run the stories through yourself. In fact, you still can, but this was the start of my dialogue. I centre the dialogue on my anti-Enlightenment sentiments.
