Why does the myth of the Luddites as out-of-touch & anti-technology endure? @bcmerchant tells me why & makes the case for contemporary Luddite resistance @GlobeIdeas. Strongly recommend “Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech”

AI doesn’t care and can’t be empathetic. At the same time, because the medical system is broken, far too many doctors come across as robotic. Given this dilemma, Dr. Thomas Carroll critically consider three ways AI might be used.

Being philosophically inclined, I’m curious about why throwback places have such a spellbinding aura. I think it’s because they are analog outliers stubbornly refusing to follow the imperatives of efficiency, convenience, and profit, writes Evan Selinger. trib.al/NEcCLXR

Of all the things I’ve written, this one is my favorite! It’s a love letter to a unique old family-run hotel that serves amazing homemade soup and is a temple of the analog. Every time I go, it’s a spiritual pilgrimage! Bonus riff on Benjamin’s “aura.”

Only for a month, the first chapter of The #Ethics of #Privacy and #Surveillance is freely available! It's about the animalistic origins of privacy; it's not the most philosophical chapter, but it sets the groundwork for the philosophical parts. #books

Thrilled @WashULRev has published the final version of "Privacy Nicks: How the Law Normalizes Surveillance," by me, @hartzog & @johannagunawan! We argue that U.S. privacy law is *complicit* in the expansion and intensification of surveillance.

. @ruha9 sees a crisis of imagination that is fueling oppression and even treating some people’s lives as disposable. Thankfully, her new book, "Imagination: A Manifesto," offers guidance and hope! We discuss it @GlobeIdeas.

At @GlobeIdeas, Brenda Leong and I discuss the invisible labor of red-team AI work. Spoiler alert: existentially terrifying and ethically challenging. If there were a red-team motto, it would be: “The more sinister your imagination, the better your work.”

Stanford neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky advocates for hard determinism in “Determined”: free will = illusion; nobody deserves praise, blame, or punishment. In my interview @GlobeIdeas, I ask key compatibilist questions. He remains consistent throughout!
