20:00 I don't really care about alternate chat programs, because there are tons of them with little searching, what I want is a good tutorial on how to setup your own VoiP server and client, there really aren't very many tutorials on it and the only decent ones are huge walls of text that take hours to get through and still manage to sort of leave you hanging to figure out some stuff yourself.
It's obvious that we are moving toward a high tech / information society. It's also obvious that personal information is becoming a market. As that market matures, new business models are likely to emerge. I think it's likely that an institution that allows individuals to leverage their personal information will be one. It's likely more expensive to take it via software and legal ease than it would be to just have resources to store what is brought to you willingly. It's "money on the table". Technological Unemployment would be a huge environmental pressure.
I don't think that privacy has much of a future in practice. It doesn't have much of a history either, in comparison to the entirety of human history. The technologies that are emerging (some mentioned in the video) contrast completely with privacy. Direct interfaces will likely lead to a new level of connectivity. Michio Kaku postulates telepathy with such technology. I personally would go beyond Brins' "Transparent Society" with extrapolation. I would claim it likely that it be a intimate society.
Benjamin Geortzel suggests that if there were a solution to a dichotomy of private or hive interaction, that hive interaction would likely win. He seems to make the case well though he also accounts for Emergence.
(15:40 - 20:24) Experiments that might bring it about.
(13: 38 - 16:37) The main argument.
Earlier in the video he makes reference to projections of coming abundance that would have the potential to mitigate many of the issues that we find with such levels of transparency. Most of the political issues that we face are directly correlated to the dysfunctional competition that perceptions of scarcity yields. The inability to deceive in such an environment would also be a determining factor. Balance is struck with the absence of double standards. It's in essence ubiquitous sunlight.
Hey new user here, first ever post on the tek syndicate forum, being watching the channel for little over a year, the tek is the only long run time weekly web show I watch, if you can call it as such.
Enjoyed this weeks show as all ways and was wanting to see this topic of how shady Google can be in regards to data for a while. I use Google is outside of you tube, Gmail and drive. Gmail being my main email address so the emails I receive could be use track how i want to buy for example humble and steam emails but is also the email address I use for my CV so I do get job info and the like from it. In terms of Google drive I mainly use it as a back up for uni work and to share comic book files with friends i share all the walking dead with a few friends on drive so nothing really big anything really impotent reminds on my hard drive. The one that kinds of scare me is what we search on Google and what we watch on YouTube being collected and being sold off to government agencies and then maybe one day end up being used employers to help figure out what kind of person you are and if they want to hire you so lets say you end on that part of YouTube and you watched a messed up video that's an ist you do not get the job based on that or find your self on an industry black list. That last bit is something I been thinking about a bit even tho its unrational.
Also on the VR painting it kind of reminds me that game the little big planet developers showed at E3 this year.
Google spying on people through their online services is bad but microsoft spying through the OS is worse imo. To me the Google spying feels like a security camera at the store, the Microsoft spying feels like someone put a hidden camera in my house.
The Google or Facebook spying is easy to avoid or circumvent. Don't use their services, block their cookies and trackers, give them false info so they can't build an accurate profile. Easy enough with a 3rd party service, not so easy when the OS itself is doing the spying.
