Road rage against the self-driving machine - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
by Alberto Cammozzo Jan. 8, 2019

Jan. 8, 2019

<https://thebulletin.org/2019/01/road-rage-against-the-self-driving-machine/> You can usually expect the police blotter on New Year’s Day to offer some choice nuggets from the previous evening’s events. But this year the New York Times took it to another level, kicking off 2019 with a front-page story on a whole new category of crime: harassment of autonomous vehicles. Drawing on 21 police reports first detailed by the Arizona Republic last month, Simon Romero describes how enraged citizens of Chandler, Arizona are facing off against the self-driving cars that Google subsidiary Waymo has been testing around the United States. Averaging 25,000 driverless miles on Arizona roads alone every day, the company has made serious enemies of some city residents. Worried about safety and job security, or maybe just the unsettling new reality they represent, the most agitated Arizonans are doing everything they can to scare the cars away: slashing tires, pelting them with rocks, following them around and cutting them off in their own SUVs.

FT: "Should we think of Big Tech as Big Brother?" (recensione dell'ultimo libro di Zuboff)
by J.C. DE MARTIN Jan. 7, 2019

Jan. 7, 2019

*Should we think of Big Tech as Big Brother?* /Are tech companies manipulating data to control human behaviour — or are their leaders simply naive?/ John Thornhill January 4, 2019 Many adjectives could be used to describe Shoshana Zuboff’s latest book: groundbreaking, magisterial, alarming, alarmist, preposterous. One will do: unmissable. As we grope around in the darkness trying to grasp the contours of our digital era, *The Age of Surveillance Capitalism *shines a searing light on how this latest revolution is transforming our economy, politics, society — and lives. As the inventor of the concept of “surveillance capitalism”, Zuboff fulfils a persuasive role in explaining the ways in which this “voracious and utterly novel commercial project” is radically rewriting the rules of the economic game, creating extraordinary new asymmetries of knowledge and power. By tracking our every click, our every digital expression of interest, ambition, longing and desire, the surveillance capitalists can climb inside our heads and sell those behavioural insights on to their real customers, the advertisers.
