niin 's review for:
Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now
by Jaron Lanier
I think Jarin Lanier has his finger on the pulse when it comes to how AI and social media is affecting society and individuals. I think what we've seen is only the start of one of the biggest issues humanity will face. Slowly losing our autonomy to algorithms. I don't share his optimism that just tweaking the payment model will fix things either. This book gave me stuff to think about.
His philosophical and political groundings are what you'd expect from a liberal Silicon Valley tech-bro, though. The last chapter especially felt like nonsense. Paraphrasing "Humans might have a soul so we are special so let's ignore any potential for sentient AI having rights, and also animal rights are misguided(?)".
