Have you guys also noticed this? I’m not talking about “Oh my family isn’t privacy conscious” I honestly get that for ur average moms and pops, they don’t know any better.

the problem is with how these big tech companies effectively poisoned the everyday Joe to think that handing over ur data like a good boy is the norm and breaking out is “weird” and “too much”, this blame also goes on Hollywood.

Yesterday my friend called me " Mr robot" for just taking my privacy seriously I thought it was funny.

some people also fired their single neuron and told me “People only do this when they have something to hide”

These remarks that I face from time to time really highlights the mentality of the general society where if you break out of the norm, even if it doesn’t harm them, they would find a way to make off handed remarks about it almost like they’re dissatisfied that you’re fighting.

    If you happen to want to know more on why, there are 2 podcasts that talk about this on a very regular basis:

    • Deep Questions with Cal Newport - super chill guy that every week has an episode on ai reality check. Usually explains quite at length why something is happening on ai why is factual or not
    • Better offline - Ed can be quite opinionated and sometimes borderline ranty, but he also tends to breakdown stuff like financial numbers on ai investment and why (or why not) you should break those down.

      I think thatsa great description of Zitron. His editorial style initially turned me off but he is thorough and shows his sources for the factual sides of his arguments.
