Pogrbljena, autistična i ugojena stoka na ulicama dobro zna šta ju je dovelo u groteskno stanje u kom se nalazi, ali i pored toga nastavlja da pase go*na koja sama sebi servira. Juče u novinama tekst na ovu temu preveden sa engleskog iz Financial Times-a. U izvesnoj kompaniji "Dopamine Labs" se još hvale time da zombiraju populaciju inteligentnim aplikacijama:
One company,
Dopamine Labs — named for the chemical released in the reward centre of the brain — offers a service to tech businesses wanting to “keep users engaged”. Founded by two neuroscientists-turned-programmers,
it explicitly talks about using artificial intelligence to modify apps and release dopamine hits to “surprise and hook each user”. Loosely translated, in case it’s not terrifying enough: robots are trying to alter your brain chemistry to make you spend more time doing something you don’t want to do.
Founder Ramsay Brown tells me he wants people to understand that
“their thoughts and feelings are on the table as things that can be controlled and designed”. He thinks there should be more conversation around the persuasive power of the technologies being used. “We believe everyone has a right to cognitive liberty, and to build the kind of mind they want to live in,” he says.
