Ooh, love 'surveillance capitalism'! Great name for a band.

Hi Jane, glad to have you back!

Happy to be here :)

Good background on surveillance capitalism at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_capitalism

cool! I'll continue to add resources over time, so feel free to share resources in the chat :)

Would this be characterized as an attention economy too?

Alex, we’ll talk about that. Great question!

Rick had long division as an example

Yes if not selling our data!

Also, phone games do that!

It is free and they still ask for $2 to upgrade

It creeps me out every time my phone shows me something based on what I Googled thirty seconds ago.

We are constantly performing market research for everyone with our every move online.

They can predict a lot about you, simply from the number of clicks

^^ yes

THAT'S SO CREEPY!

I don't want anyone in my brain stem!

omg creepy

Ew.

I saw it, it must be real

Empty calories for the brain and spirit. Very sad, and yet another reason to stay off social media altogether.

Shameless plug

haha, they set me up. I couldn't help myself

Same thing with the media! For profit!

When it comes to fact-checking sites and individuals, how much can we actually trust them?

I think it depends on the site, always... that's part of the evaluation process

I tend to trust certain fact-checking sites. Based on what I know about how they work

This is so much more complicated than I realized--like roots underground.

Pervasive: that's the word I wanted.

How do we keep predatory characters from using tech to gut unsuspecting/ignorant/naïve people? That's the question that haunts me.

we were taught not to believe everything we see, now more that ever we should remember that what we see in the surface may not be what it seems

Congratulations!

Yes: I saw a demo of an app that made fake people out of basically nothing--no photo, nada--and it was literally impossible for me to tell which was a real person.

Right, Jane. That’s the deep fake

At what point do we say "enough is enough" when it comes to our phones tracking and getting our Personal information. And by that I mean our faces to unlock our phone or our fingerprints. Whats next? It plucks our finger to verify us?

I refuse to use the facial recognition on the iPhone!

I think you have to give up on a Smart Phone if you want to get away from all of this

Ok thank you ! This was very informational I just got hacked on my Uber just two days ago!

lost service for minute and disconnected. sorry about that!

ultiple perspectives!

Multiple

yes! @Isabel

Can you talk more about block chain?

I used to think this kind of paranoia was...well, paranoia. Now it seems like the people who were paranoid about privacy twenty years ago were in fact correct.

I know. What's so hard is that even though I know privacy is a huge issue, it doesn't stop me from making a lot of poor decisions in term of privacy

Thank you

Its a hustle lol

YES. It seems like there's so much we have to keep an eye on now.

Is it possible to put in the wrong information into the block chain in the first place?

to missinform

yes but blockchain is often based on consensus so 51% of the network as to approve

difficult to misinform

cool

Also economics: public choice and voting

Like Prof White was saying: crazy gets airtime.

Sensible and realistic are boring.

So true Jane

and we agree to everything and give app permissions without reading

every darn time @Dulce :)

It's great that you all are offering these discussions, so we can get at least a glimpse of what we're getting sucked into. I really appreciate your taking the time to present this info for us.

Thank you, Jane, for adding to our discussion. I always love hearing your perspective

I have to leave. Thank you all for a great discussion. I hope to listen to the rest of the discussion on the recording.

thank you!

Hey, I’ve dropped Facebook! I’ve been fine :)

bye Mark

haha

For those of you transferring to a 4-year: most 4-years offer VPNs for their students as part of enrollment fees!

Does Mcc have updated courses that include blockchain

If you’re interested in the basics of machine learning and AI, we offer enough of the math and CS at MiraCosta to understand it well!

@Zurubi I believe some of our CS courses touch upon blockchain as case studies or examples in labwork!

Thank you so much Lauren, Rick and Isabel. It was very informative

thank you!
