As AI algorithms quietly take over life’s most important decisions, the right to opt out is fading – and with it, our autonomy.

    Without reading the article, my first take is that no, it should be our right to opt-in. That is, it should be the default to be opted out, and only explicit permission ever opts you in.

        Do you know what thee luddites were protesting? Be ause it wasn’t technology. They were prootesting the fact that industrial looms were benefical to wealthy capitalists who made fortunes stealing the livelihoods of communities.

          We will never lay down our Arms until the House of Commons passes an Act to put down all Machinery hurtful to Commonality.

          Put down your phone. Put down literally everything in your life and go live in a cave.

          The solution is not to rid the world of a particular technology, but to rid the rich of their heads. 🤷‍♂️

            That technology is controled by the wealthy. “For The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.”

          You can see by @[email protected] 's response why I didn’t bother trying to explain the Luddite perspective myself.
