      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.

      An intuitive feeling I...

      Not deeply touched, but a little inspired

      I don't know why after watching it, I feel that the movie itself has a certain incitement, maybe I am still relatively sober. Everyone knows the conspiracy mentioned in 1, and the way to crack it is also obvious. The so-called big data kills familiarity, recommends similar news after big data...

      There are so many "previous xx" platforms, most of the time, with a face of "you know" and a sigh, what's the use? The analogy between drug user and social network user is simple and crude, just for brainwashing. The data support is pitiful, and how to break the game is not mentioned. The fact is not well done, and the point of view is not established. For a documentary of this level, 30 minutes is enough.

      Samsung and a half. While condemning social media for bewitching people's hearts, this film desperately transmits what I want to convey through background sounds, simulated scenes, and animations. Kind of ironic

    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.
