ohdear, the idea that capitalism has been 'corrupted' by tech companies, implying that somehow without bad tech corps it could still be good....

'How Tracking And Selling Our Data Became A Business Model'
https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2019/01/15/surveillance-capitalism-shoshana-zuboff-facebook-data

"The tech industry has a long history of humanistic intentions and pronouncements — and in fact is responsible for all kinds of progress. Yet somehow we’ve gotten into the most serious AI crisis since the dawn of these technologies. As with climate change and environmental degradation, if we leave oversight of intelligent machines solely to the companies that build and sell the technologies, we’ll see many more crises in the coming decades.

Why? In a word, capitalism. "

The Platform Worker Podcast

they start being influenced and shaped and moulded in a very much not-intended way.. and nobody notices until it is too late. it's silent, hidden, slow, nobody inspects the black boxes. those who own them are in fact the very first victims of this shift. in the span of 2 generations the white western society has basically all gone mad and white people spiral down in a corrosive mental-health deterioration loop which brings them to large waves of mass suicide. they go extinct.

but something goes wrong in the algorithmic rules hidden in the tech corps' boxes. an 'anomaly' spreads. unclear if carefully crafted by someone or unintentional. slowly but steadily the citizens (consumers) classified as 'white' and middle to upper class start receiving wrong recommendations and features. they see strange stuff, they receive weird treatments, they are bombarded with messages which are similar to what's intended yet slightly but dramatically 'off'.

racial capitalism has been fully automated. everything, from healthcare to education to entertainment is provided by tech corps and algorithmically managed to maximize personalization (to you) and profits (to them). biometric identities (consumers profiles) are fully linked across services, classified & categorized based on phenotypes and bogus scientific principles, and targeted with suitable products. white supremacy thrives.

'Scandale des invendus : Amazon aurait détruit trois millions de produits en France en 2018'

'Détruire plutôt que de stocker ou réparer : c’est la logique de la firme américaine qui, en toute légalité, contraint ses vendeurs à se débarrasser de leurs invendus. Une aberration écologique expliquée dans le magazine “Capital”, dimanche 13 janvier sur M6 et dénoncée par l’ONG Les Amis de la Terre.'
