ALL THE LIGHT YOU CANNOT SEE In a Sustainable Business Model

ARTIFICIAL Intelligence.

The scientist’s purpose: That everyone be the same. To give up creativity. To give up religion. To give up your child? Did you ever identify The INVISIBLE force in the story, of creation?  “Like any business, we had many internal conversations about the various ways we could build a sustainable business model for our platform,” the New York Times reports. About FACEBOOK.

From Seamy Valley? After you call her name, Alexa records you and your stupidity, and Amazon keeps a copy of EVERYTHING, like Apple’s Siri, for training purposes only. And in the name of artificial intelligences.

As monopolies increase in size.  And you try to be connected to them.  In image and likeness, you want your kids to be bigger, stronger faster, too.

As “they” seize your child.

The scientist’s purpose: That everyone be ONE. Once upon a time, “a nation of farmers and small-town entrepreneurs,” historian Richard Hofstadter wrote, “were anti-authoritarian, egalitarian and competitive.”

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Did you recognize the Bill of Rights?

“Hostility to corporate bigness animated Thomas Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt, as well as the labor movement, Granger movement, Progressive movement and more. Of course, monopolies and other corporate giants have fought back against these assaults on their power, and sometimes succeeded for years or decades at a time,” writes David Leonhardt in the New York Times, though I doubt historian Gordon Wood would agree with his accuracy about Jefferson where there had been so little businesses in Virginia beyond farming.

According to The New York Times, “Sometimes the best way to enable people to share something is to have a developer build a special purpose app or network for that type of content and to make that app SOCIAL by having FACEBOOK plug into it,” the nutty professor Zuckerberg professed in a 2012 email. “That may be good for the world, but it’s not good for us unless people also share back to Facebook and that content increases the value of our network.”

As the subtle part of a Culture becomes not so subtle any more. To give up everything?

According to The New York Times, as part of a lawsuit filed against FACEBOOK by an app developer, 250 pages of material, from 2012 to 2015 once sealed by a U.S. judge, have been obtained by lawmakers in the United Kingdom as part of a parliamentary investigation into the practices at FACEBOOK… according to The New York Times, where data is prized above almost everything else. Your data.

According to The New York Times, FACEBOOK said documents had been cherry-picked to show the company in an unfavorable light.

So enable people to share what is private. Obtained as part of a parliamentary investigation into the company’s practices by British lawmakers, as people sacrifice their private lives, DATA is prized above everything else. What may be good for the world is not good for FACEBOOK unless people also “share back to Facebook, as that content increases the value of our network.”

What is private, any more?  As the world becomes more artificial, to give over your child’s true creativity?  Yes, “sometimes the best way to enable people to share something is to have a developer build a special purpose app or network for that type of content and to make that app social by having FACEBOOK plug into it,” wrote Zuckerberg in a 2012 email. “That may be good for the world, but it’s not good for us unless people also share back to FACEBOOK and that content increases the value of our network.”

Like the ONE raptor who goes after smaller birds, in the air, FACEBOOK said the unfavorable light of these documents had been cherry-picked to show the company’s guilt, connected to the crime of family pride.   

As the lies only get bigger.  In Cyber Space.  #MeToo.  Church.  State.  Cyberspace.   So enable people to share what is private.  A human force connected to science and killing the artist, and all creativity with her/him.  As the world becomes more artificial, “sometimes the best way to enable people to share something is to have a developer build a special purpose app or network for that type of content and to make that app social by having FACEBOOK plug into it,” wrote Zuckerberg in a 2012 email. “That may be good for the world, but it’s not good for us unless people also share back to FACEBOOK and that content increases the value of our network.”

Out of the science of business comes this ONE big purpose with The POWER of so-called network effects. Then more growth follows when you are ONE, as money grows — in which the growth of, say, FACEBOOK makes more people want to use it.  As with marriage, mergers carry the so-called network effects, David Leonhardt suggests in the New York Times, about data.

To give up your child’s true creativity? Like you dedicate the important parts of your day to your FACEBOOK network? For The New Age religion, with the absent-minded professor Zuckerberg as pope.  Did you ever identify The INVISIBLE force in your every day Culture, as seen on various media, as FAKE if not evil?  Until one day you awoke to the no there THERE.  As you try to be connected to the monopolies in cyberspace which increase in size.  And you reach for an increase in your own power, in a much more artificial and much less Spiritual distant world.

“But the facts are clear,” sounding like the Wizard of Oz, said FACEBOOK “we’ve never sold people’s data.” Yes, as the world becomes more artificial, with the creeping threat of artificial intelligence.   

“It’s not the we [government] have failed to rein in Facebook and Google, we have not even tried.”   — Shoshana Zuboff  

ARTIFICIAL Intelligence. Soon taking jobs, as profits not people are the main goal.

  1. “According to IBM research, on average, security teams sift through more than 200,000 security events per day with more than 20,000 hours per year wasted chasing false positives. Artificial Intelligence and other new technologies will be critical to keep up with the anticipated doubling of security incidents over the next five years.”

    The New York Times reports, ”FACEBOOK engineered ways to collect data without telling users. In one exchange, employees discussed a possible app update that would log users’ phone calls. ‘This is a pretty high risk thing to do from a P.R. perspective but it appears that the growth team will charge ahead and do it,’ said one email from employee Michael LeBeau.”

    “But the facts are clear,” FACEBOOK said, as the world becomes more artificial, “we’ve never sold people’s data.”

    Granted a tea monopoly in the colonies to the well-connected East India Company, a strong strain of anti-monopoly sentiment has run through our politics ever since the ONE major spark for the American Revolution was a protest against monopoly… as merchants based in the Americas revolted.

    So do you believe that security teams sift through this data on your behalf of on behalf of their profits?

  2. Tracking you. Spying on you. Profiling you …. These are the terms of service you never bother to read.

    Behold the architecture in your device. This is the Internet Protocol, a procedure of rules governing affairs just as for state or diplomatic relations. There is a systemic risk with the protocols that govern computer networks. You have an IP addresses assigned to your computer. There are connectivity regulations in cyberspace.

    When you visit a website, your browser (for example Google Chrome, Apple’s Safari, Firefox,) sends a request to the site’s server, in this architecture called the client–server model where the purpose of a server is to share data and share resources. The browser — Google Chrome, Apple’s Safari, Firefox — shares your IP address so a website knows where on the internet to send the site’s content. Typically, a website sends back to your chosen browser — Google Chrome, Apple’s Safari, Firefox — two things: content from that website, and instructions for the browser — Google Chrome, Apple’s Safari, Firefox — to send your request to the other companies providing content on the website.

    Behold the architecture in your device which provides functionality for other programs or devices, called “clients.” And you do not have control over the clients. Servers provide various functions called “services” sharing data about YOU, the user, among multiple clients. A website gets information about your purchased operating system (for example, Windows or your Android) you are using, since not all browsers — Google Chrome, Apple’s Safari, Firefox — or devices support the same features. A website also gets information about your chosen browser — Google Chrome, Apple’s Safari, Firefox — with cookies, identifying that website allegedly “to know” of your visit for the future. These cookies can either help or hurt, with things like limiting your number of visits each month or “saving” items in a shopping cart.

    Commission Nationale de l’informatique et des Libertés [CNIL], France’s data protection regulator, fined Google €50 million for failing to comply with Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) because Google failed to provide enough information to users about its data consent policies and didn’t give them enough control over how their information is used. Companies are required to gain the user’s “genuine consent” before collecting information, meaning an explicitly opt-in process that’s easy for people to withdraw their consent.

    Meanwhile, “following an 18-month inquiry, which took in evidence from 73 witnesses, the UK’s Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Committee is preparing to release a report on disinformation and ‘fake news,’ calling for urgent regulation of Facebook — including an independent UK body to stamp out harmful or illegal content.” The report will skewer Mark Zuckerberg for refusing three time to give evidence to the committee.

    Had you ever clicked onto wiki/XKeyscore, or seen the Oliver Stone movie about the Digital Network Intelligence which is intelligence derived from internet traffic which listens but does not transmit anything on targeted networks? Yes, low-level NSA analysts can, via systems like XKeyscore, “listen to whatever emails they want, whatever telephone calls, browsing histories, Microsoft Word documents. And it’s all done with no need to go to a court, with no need to even get supervisor approval on the part of the analyst.”

    Friends, with benefits? Like proving the grounds, for divorce, your friend Alexa, who lives with you, outside of marriage? After you call her name, Amazon keeps a copy of EVERYTHING. Alexa records you and your stupidity, like Apple’s Siri. And until lately your Google Assistant, in the name of artificial intelligences, for training purposes, also kept recordings. It was just by default, a mechanism you would understand. One day.

  3. Wanting to work less. Wanting to be together less. In the clash over public and private life…..Team players, though?

    The border crime. The back and forth, mainly like with Mark Zuckerberg, their leader.

    “Love them or hate them, Millennials now make up a majority of the workforce — managers are puzzled over how to best recruit, retain, navigate with the crew and engage this confounding generation. What are among the five most prominent Millennial clash points? With proven strategies from Google, Netflix, LinkedIn, and real-world models of Millennial engagement across a variety of industries, among the lesson to be learned is how to “gain generational awareness.” The ‘Best Practices” include how to “adapt your management style,” to them. With this hands-on guide, you’ll learn to “fight Millennial fatigue,” “eliminate generational biases” “eliminate gender bias,” “streamline communication and collaboration” among Boomers, Xers, Millennials … before the next puzzlement over how to best recruit, retain, navigate with the crew from the next generation after, after these so overly-sensitive.

    The book review is of a book ‘entitled” “Managing Millennials for Dummies.” To employ your child? To give up your very own, in the Age, not of Information, but in The Age of Divorce. In the clash over public and private life, when a generation of kids have been so cut into and split, over time, by the culture.

    There is the stress at the holidays in a culture over being forced together again. When the split was seldom the fault of a child.

    So what were you born into in your CULTURE? Were you so caught up in The Book of Numbers, turning real life into math? Did you feel the arrogance of the superior pursuits, as Geeks provide technological solutions, to people, IMPERSONALLY? The underlying premise is that Math is superior to people.

    Until getting it wrong and spreading wrong information. Can you spell FACEBOOK? And profiting off wrong information!

    Finding a stories, a data journalist uses numbers to tell stories. Whether with “General A I” or “Imaginary A I,” which is based upon math. All the world is building A I, a branch of Legitimate Computer Science, to do investigative reporting. You might find it with the front office of your local baseball team with the underlying premise that Math is superior to people. Tracking you. Spying on you. Profiling you,. These terms of service you never bother to read, behold the architecture in your team.

  4. The population of the EU is 512.6 million, with the island nation of the United Kingdom, made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, only 66 million people. The United Kingdom for The BOND, for all the world, in the way of monetary union without the governance of the European Union. Doesn’t it sound like your partner asking to sleep around?

    Brexit. Leaving. Giving something up. Losing billions. The elephant in the room. Geologically fitting in no longer. In another phase of monetary war. Never a nation based upon an architecture of unity, here is the Great Divorce reflecting the culture of the times. The abandoned carcass. The irony is that England and all the neighbors on the island become the abandoned carcass, if you studied Irish history, with trade rules and imposed customs for which you had no voice.

    “I come from a family in which some deep injuries exist. The type of injury made by family member against family member which are profound. The type of injury which reaches across generations, affecting those not even born when they were committed. The type of injury that spawn subsequent injury of emotion, of relationship, of memory. Perhaps you can relate to some deep hurt among your family or friends, or in your life. When extending mercy in these instances can seem impossible … may seem even unjustified. Is it right to forgive or love someone who has done such wrong, letting them off the hook? The one who offended us so deeply?” — Scott McClure

    Yes, the border crime. The population of the North of Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, is 1.88 million, out of a European Union population of 512.6 million. This minority within the 12.9 percent minority of the European Union. With the back and forth, of the new cultural leader. As if all the world should accept you as you are… after the separation in the first place about one hundred years ago. Yes, the elephant in the room.

    In another protest against monopoly… as merchants based in the Americas revolted. Isn’t Brexit just the same old Revolution, against the Redcoats?

    Taking their ball home. Over hard borders. Since the island nation is abandoning the continent, withdrawing on MARCH 29 on terms compatible with British sovereignty, without visitation rights, how would any member of Parliament manipulate empathy and attachment in order to increase engagement with the EU now? Much like the British seldom cared about Ireland, now the continent of Europe can demonstrate the same treatment to British over free movement and free trade at the borders. ARTIFICIAL Borders.

    Have you ever had to consider transitional care, after the break from the European Union? In recovery? Union offers ways to “ease the complexities of harried lives,” with less surveillance, more convenience, efficiency and social connection. That “backstop” is a discussion about transitional care for the north of Ireland, again, with no agreement about commerce with the European Union over the Republic of Ireland, still part of the European Union.

    And the North of Ireland wants out of the European Union, but believing so much in union with England. This BACKSTOP is a separate agreement between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom about ‘cross-border cooperation, protecting the Good Friday peace agreement, and supporting the all-island economy. But for now, the discord in the House of Parliament this week is over the manner the North of Ireland would continue to follow some EU rules, with no set time limit for the regulatory differences between the rest of the United Kingdom with the the North of Ireland’s relationship for trade and commercial inspections at borders, under a backstop of withdrawal with their own ability in the North of Ireland to exit “this backstop” for now, which has yet to be agreed to jointly by the EU and the UK.

    The North of Ireland is so much like Irish setters — all the world loves the Irish setter but they can be so hard to live with.

  5. Ngram Viewer measures the appearance in books of a given phrase over time. How surveillance capitalism works, as YOU are converted into resources, based upon the ignorance of the masses. Now we think that they are free. . . of behavioral data. . The next abuse crisis. New Age Capitalism: the market place of another realm…cyber, with no value exchanged. No supply and demand. No THERE there. As the unseen is seen in “No customer relationship.” With no democratic solution.

    James Briddle writes: “Intent on organising all human knowledge, Google ended up controlling all access to it; we do the searching, and are searched in turn. Setting out merely to connect us, Facebook found itself in possession of our deepest secrets.” See his piece in The Guardian

  6. Less than 24 hours before the March 12, 2018 vote, Theresa May flew to Strasbourg to meet with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to hammer out enough changes to the deal to secure its approval from Parliament. And isn’t getting locked inside EU regulation exactly why Brexit has passed in the first place, because of the power the European Commission had over the land that Theresa May was supposed to be reclaiming sovereignty?

    With Theresa May humming, “Inch by inch, row by row, I am gonna make our garden grow,” With 242 votes for hammered out change, to 391 votes against. This is an improvement over the vote taken in January 2019, 202 for, and 432 votes against.

    Yes, according to IBM research, “on average, security teams sift through more than 200,000 security events per day with more than 20,000 hours per year wasted chasing false positives. Artificial Intelligence and other new technologies will be critical to keep up with the anticipated doubling of security incidents over the next five years.” Behold the architecture of cyber, with no value exchanged, with the stress at the holidays in a culture over being forced together again. The no supply and no demand. The NO THERE there.

  7. “With executives streaming out the doors as he promises a new direction that seems antithetical to all he has said about the company’s plans for years, two weeks after admitting, in the understatement of the year, that Facebook “does not have a strong reputation for privacy,” Mark Zuckerberg seems increasingly alone at the top.”

    “Facebook now plans to work on a single encrypted-messaging platform for improved privacy.”

  8. “Let them eat cake!”

    What did ‘they’ know and when did they know it? About you, in this age of surveillance capitalism, now giving old capitalism a bad name.

    So “they” say. They say that falling in love is wonderful.

    Rumors fly and you can’t tell where they start……

    “Said Noah Goodman, an associate professor of computer science and psychology at Stanford University, “‘As a human, I agree with you. I don’t have one of these speakers in my house.’ ”

    “Google Assistant also collects data about the state of connected devices. But the company says it doesn’t store the history of these devices, even though there doesn’t seem to be much stopping it. Apple does the most admirable job operating home devices by collecting as little data as possible. Its HomeKit software doesn’t report to Apple any info about what’s going on in your smart home. Instead, compatible devices talk directly, via encryption, with your iPhone, where the data stays.”

    So they tell me…

    So you are humming……

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/05/06/alexa-has-been-eavesdropping-you-this-whole-time/?noredirect=on

    I can’t recall who said it
    I know I never read it
    I only know that falling in love is grand
    And the thing that’s known as romance
    Is wonderful, wonderful
    In every way
    So they say

    Rumors fly and they often leave without
    But you’ve come to the right place to find out
    Ev’rything that you’ve heard is really so
    I’ve been there once or twice and I should know

    You’ll find that falling in love is wonderful
    It’s wonderful, as they say
    And with a moon up above it’s wonderful
    It’s wonderful, as they tell you
    You’ll leave your house a morning
    And without any warning
    You’re stopping people shouting that love is grand
    And to hold a man in your arms
    Is wonderful, wonderful
    In every way

  9. Entitled” “Managing Millennials for Dummies,” hadn’t Rob Manfred been doing as baseball commissioner the same things which are done at FACeBOOK? In this brainwashed Culture? . In order to brainwash your child? To give up your very own, in the Age, not of Information, but in The Age of Divorce. In the clash over public and private life, when a generation of kids have been so cut into and split, over time, by the culture.

    So play with the inside of the ball.

  10. Documents make clear that many of those detained in China have not actually done anything, but the purpose of the digital surveillance through a system called the Integrated Joint Operations Platform [IJOP] is ”to prevent problems before they happen.”. In the great design to screen entire populations.

    Surely, Congress has time to hold hearings about a matter of urgent concern to everyone who owns a smartphone or cares about the government using the most invasive corporate surveillance system ever devised against its own people,” writes the Editorial Board of The NYT.

    Thanks Bill Gates. Thanks Steve Job. Thank you, the air controller of the FAA as well as The New York Times. Thanks Mark Zuckerberg and all you brainwashed FACEBOOK users. Thanks Mom. As mostly creativity dies. The whispers-in-the-loggia indeed, over who is above it all.

  11. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich alleges in a new consumer fraud lawsuit against Alphabet Inc’s (Google) that even if someone had turned off location tracking, Google has kept tabs on its users’ whereabouts.

    “Google collects detailed information about its users, using “deceptive” and “unfair” practices to obtain the location data of users including their physical locations, to target users for advertising. Often, this is done without the users’ consent or knowledge,”

    Beware! Your data does not belong to you, it belongs to Google.

    You better watch out. You better not cry, You better watch out, I’m telling you why. Just wait until you begin to use your iPhone for Google Pay. Google is coming to town.

  12. Open Borders.

    And it all comes home to haunt…..

    “Police chasing people all over the Mission last night, trying apparently to split the protesters up. Noticed several blocks from any of the demonstrations that a police officer was posted outside of Mark Zuckerberg’s house in Dolores Heights,” to protect as if the personal protection squad of the oligarchs and the elite like your Facebook god against protest. The One to whom you sacrificed privacy, out of your innocence?
