Mark Zuckerberg announces mind-control
Today's links - Mark Zuckerberg announces mind-control ray (again): The business model for AI is the same as the business model for Big Data – bilking credulous advertisers. - Hey look at this: Delights to delectate.
The most important story Zuck tells is about himself, the boy genius who converted a tool for nonconsensually rating the fuckability of Harvard undergrads into a social media monopoly with four billion users. The project of convincing investors that tech's "dopamine hackers" had perfected mind-control with warmed over, non-replicable Skinnerian behavior-mod techniques and mass surveillance sold a hell of a lot of ads.
