      The inescapable mobile phone addiction

      Facebook programmers go to work during the day to build models to make users addicted to their software, and then pick up their phones after get off work at night and become addicted themselves.

      Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off!

      When chatting with friends about Foucault, she found this film and took time to watch it while traveling. It's been a long time since I watched a documentary, is this the way it is shot now? interesting. But "Social Dilemma" translated as "surveillance capitalism" is boring.

      As soon as you pick up your phone, twenty minutes are gone. This was a moment of shock when I tested it myself many years ago. At that time, it was not only to pick up the phone and open the browser, but 20 minutes were gone.

      Documentaries can be one-sided, but not so naive. They actually use scene representations similar to today's arguments. Excessive sensitivity will make people doubt whether the argument can stand. And there is a dilemma in the title, where is the dilemma? It does not explain why users are willing to share their privacy, and at the same time worry about their privacy being abused. This is the real dilemma.

    The Social Dilemma quotes

    • Justin Rosenstein - Facebook, Former Engineer: We live in a world in which a tree is worth more, financially, dead than alive, in a world in which a whale is worth more dead than alive. For so long as our economy works in that way and corporations go unregulated, they're going to continue to destroy trees, to kill whales, to mine the earth, and to continue to pull oil out of the ground, even though we know it is destroying the planet and we know that it's going to leave a worse world for future generations. This is short-term thinking based on this religion of profit at all costs, as if somehow, magically, each corporation acting in its selfish interest is going to produce the best result. This has been affecting the environment for a long time. What's frightening, and what hopefully is the last straw that will make us wake up as a civilization to how flawed this theory has been in the first place, is to see that now we're the tree, we're the whale. Our attention can be mined. We are more profitable to a corporation if we're spending time staring at a screen, staring at an ad, than if we're spending that time living our life in a rich way. And so, we're seeing the results of that. We're seeing corporations using powerful artificial intelligence to outsmart us and figure out how to pull our attention toward the things they want us to look at, rather than the things that are most consistent with our goals and our values and our lives.
