Thank you for making this video. Yes, I was surprised you are a techno-optimist. Looking at all the surveillance issues can be pretty depressing. Thanks for showing the other side of the coin.
Everyone is so focused on what artificial intelligence can do for them that they've forgotten that they themselves will be of no use to artificial intelligence. The days that you could have some input on who your authority is and what it can do to you will become a distant memory when everything you are, and everything you do is approved by a higher intelligence. It spells the end of participatory government and man will now have an objective god to obey.
I have actually been going back to analog for some things, music, notes, journals etc. these are private and can’t be read by these big tech companies or the government.
In Australia and most likely anywhere else I have seen software that track mobile phone numbers and locations of people so that the can see who is at protests etc. it’s scary because privately owned security companies can purchase this software.
Good idea. Going completely offline to be private is unrealistic, but here are certain things where modern digital alternatives offer no real advantage and the only reason they were invented at all is to look modern and fancy. Going analog with these things is vital.
I have lots of computers of different time periods as a hobby. Sometimes I run into someone who seems infuriated that I would use an older computer or operating system. Have you seen these people? Some seem like they're trying to get you into a fist fight over it. I wish I could link you to some of them. They say things like "You are holding society back" and "You need to get with the program and upgrade". Why does it bother them so much? I can drive a 67 Volkswagen on the street if I want to and nobody is angry at me over it. They would be a bit fascinated as people respect history and antiques. But when it comes to computers....don't you dare.
2:27 i am sorry but encryption alone won't work. it is way too easy to break on the operating system side. this is why you need open source operating system. if you can't see what the code does you can just assume it takes screenshot every couple seconds and because of that encryption is pretty useless on regular android or ios.
People do not have broad awareness of tech despite using it for everything…where does the balance between business, governance and the citizen sit when the first two play games to the detriment of the third who enable it?
I love your work Naomi. This is all good advice. I don't share your optimism though. I do my best to avoid tracking (calyxos, no google, linux on the desktop, block as much of this crap as I possibly can) but it's not easy for the non-technical. Convincing the ordinary user that this matters enough to take these steps is almost impossible. I have tried so hard and have managed to convert 0. You need google accounts to access Australian Government services and nobody seems to care. People need protecting from this through regulation and governments are shamefully quiet on this.
Yup. It's not easy for the technical people, when you consider how much time is needed to switch to privacy-respecting tech, and you can never reach 100%. Everyone using GrapheneOS knows about irony.
The best best thing is if you owned your own data - u could extract its utility and value for yourself. What’s crazy is that you already do own your data - you just have no way of managing and capitalizing on it. You will soon though - using a personal data agency that gives you tools to do so - managing your privacy, utility and monetary value of your data. The future is very bright. :)
Also you could build in digital and basic human rights, and even the constitution as a smart contract into a digitalID. The ID then could not be abused unless the use met the conditions of the rights and constitution.
Technology is much like fire. In the use of someone who understands its necessities and dangers, it can help bring about human welfare and flourishing. In the hands of the ignorant or foolish, it can bring about great pain, suffering and calamity. In the end, tools only do what the holder of them desires.
We are old enough to know that privacy was (is) supposed to be the default. We got tricked along the way, and we did it to ourselves too with our rampant complacency. You aren't complacent? Well how many EULA's did you thoroughly read before clicking I AGREE? How much do you agree with that you have absolutely no idea about? Me too. I click agree on anything and THEY ALL KNOW THIS. We need to stop clicking agree on things and start doing without these ridiculous luxuries. We didn't need all these EULA's back in the day. We only do it now out of convenience.
Preety much agree on all points. And I know that many people care about their privacy but are silent fighters . We still need to keep fighting , encourage and help develop tools for the new private ways od living. We have some tools as of now but need more ways to encourage content creators to join some other platforms like odysee (Will have to make sure that they are paid fairly). As I, for they first time, think Google is going down and a lot of new development will happen or it's already happening (Ladybird browser).
Hello…I’m from the military tech space, the future we are creating is beyond dark. More isn’t better. If we don’t all stop and change our entire interaction with technology - we are all fucked.
Wao....! i am so suspected to everything on social media. I have just watched your interview on #Aljazeera. you were talking the samething about the internet and you shared fabulous information. Thx mam for letting us know about that news
I'm not. Technology is out of the hands of people. It isn't just about privacy. It's about technology taking our lives away from us under the guise of helping us. It reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode called, "A Nice Place to Visit" where a person dies and goes to a place where he gets everything he wants. Everything is easy and done for him. At the end he becomes so bored with his existence that he wants to go to Hell instead, then his host tells him that he's already there. I'm tired of corporations trying to make me lazy and trying to get me to rely on them. All I ever wanted was a few basic problems solved and now they want me to sit on my butt and do nothing, except they still want me to get ahold of a lot of money somehow to pay for it all.
Wait, if there are privacy tools that circumvent things like China's great firewall, then wouldnt that great firewall block access to sites that provide those tools? Or do the sites that would distribute, for example, Tor browser, have like a bunch of proxies?
I too am optimistic about the tech. My problem is with the people running it, they want to push the tech too far into our lives. Telling us it's convenient, while it's only convenient for them. If you want this or that, it's our rules people. We know who the people are who do not like our rules. We will deal with them later.
I have a question, if your ISP DNS is just Cloudflare DNS should you still change it? I will continue to use Quad9 ik thats a dumb question but I wanna ask anyways....
How do you know that the electronic devices you use which are probably even made in china, don't have microscopic nanochips that not even your eyes can see.. which bypasses all software and send all data from the camera, microphone, gps, touchscreen, etc directly to the corporations doing the spying ? You can use all privacy software you want, it's all meaningless when they have added nanotech inside every single processor phones and computers use which bypasses software and instead spy on us directly from the hardware. 1. You know this is possible. 2. You know they want to do this, and are doing this 3. You know there is no way for us to ever find out because the technology is beyond microscopes. 4. So logically this is what they are doing, and it will take a couple more years before we figure it out, and by that point it might be too late. 5. So yeah, getting to the point that you don't use a phone at all might actually be a good idea. 6. Most people, and I mean 99.99% of the population are not following these privacy practices, and even if they used most of it... they can still be uniquely identified when browsing the web.
We also need coordinated laws in all civilized countries (at least the EU and US) that will crack down on Big Data collection and will impose fines such as 30% of you the companies yearly revenues. GDPR goes in the right direction, but it's just the EU and the sanctions a low.
Merry Christmas I only plug physically what I need to connect into the internet. Mobile phone, of course, not included. Therefore, my TV has no access to the internet via wifi as it's never had the wifi details. I try to not buy smart devices, if I do, they aren't wifi connected. I prefer to have an external for storage, leave the internal for the OS and software. I pray that you have a blessed and happy new year.
i got a farway bag for christmassand it works grate i put a smart phone that was on in the bag when i sealed it phone went compleatly offline even the phone carrier single soo cool. thank you soo much fopor the recomendation.
This comment is specifically for companies that make cars, mp3 players, vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, refrigerators, TVs and everything else. I won’t be buying a new one of whatever you make if you add a microphone, camera, gps, an app, unneeded complexity, less serviceability and shorter lifespan for things that don’t need it. If you do that, you will never sell another unit to me. Suspect that will be a new trend for many. Thanks Naomi for great information and yr optimism 🙂
I just want something simple to use that I don't need a 4 yr cyber security degree to operate or know codding lmao ,half the stuff goes over my head and think the same for others too . I'm afraid of the laptop or PC now because I know how to use cell phone and know I don't know how not private and not secure that is already lol , I do think it's not as bad as I think it is to learn these new skills ,like Naomi says tech is neutral we can use all this stuff for us not against us , I want to learn how AI can help me learn more and keep me private and have more security just from those bad actors that want messy with someone's life even if not personal
Cypherpunks unite! Technology isn’t good or evil-making it respect privacy is a choice. And our governments will only permit that if we pay attention and give a f😎k-luddism and primitivism is an admission of defeat. That’s why optimism is our last line of defense. Do not lose yours! ✊
can't find the slides or any videos of “Lying to surveillors is ordinary and good.” - Eric Hughes from thotcon and that makes shadow sad... they wanna know what they missed
The question still remains; how does a common citizen use the limited power they have against companies and governments with unimaginable computing power, legal and clandestine resources and emerge victorious yet unscathed?
Does a cop or other government agent stand behind you everytime you unlock your door and enter your home? You've learned over time how best to connect your key to your door as quickly and safely as you can to get into the comfort of your space. Your internet connection is no different. A little research, a few dollars, and a well thought plan can protect you light years from where you are now. I'm only a year into this journey and I'm a lot closer to being a ghost than I ever thought I could be. The vampires can't bite you if you don't let em in.
@@flickwtchrI would argue politicians are bought by large corporations. It government itself gives the tools needed where corporations can loophole and abuse its workers and break laws.
I assure you that surveillance in communist societies is even worse than here. Also, people criticizing the system such as you do now are flying out their windows there. The problem is not capitalism, but regular people not voting with their wallet. If majority of the people cared for their privacy and were willing to stand for it, we wouldn't be in this mess at all. We have the power, but we don't care. That IS the problem.
love your content, breath of fresh air - never afraid to recommend the best options even though they may not be popular. never stop doing what you're doing!!
We're almost there! "16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." --Revelation 13:16-17
Poor Naomi. Her audience isn't very optimistic so these comments are going to be scathing. Also, please talk about Australia's social media ban / digital ID please!
That's marvelous! I would suggest a bit of healthy skepticism toward damning reports about Mexico these days though. They had the audacity to elect two presidents in succession who have not been subtle in their disinclination to blindly obey the US in all things. 😉
What happens with technology is that scammers exploit a weakness this then gets plugged by the cyber security boffins. Then the cyber criminals find a way to get around this....All this escalation is exhausting! Last year someone made three attempts online to transfer £1500 from my bank account. Luckily I didn't have that amount in my account. However the bank charged me three times for 'having insufficient funds'. The matter was eventually sorted out but I thought:'criminals would have had no access to my bank account if the Internet did not exist'.
I enjoy the work you present but promoting local AI on private computers looks good on the surface.. Skynet was a distributed AI. It survived because it was not on one machine. Putting AI on everyone's computer and other devices in the guise that each of us can use it to protect ourselves is just a ploy to make people feel in control. Given who has access to the big AI systems, us lowly surfs are already out of luck. What makes you think that ours, as well as other governments, do not already have access with their own AI systems. Heck, if China can get to our space station, robot and rocket tech, What makes you think that our own government is not getting access? The NSA has not stopped spying on us. They are just doing it in a more roundabout way and most likely using AI on the data to get back to the surveillance level that they had before they were caught the first time.
They've said that since time immemorial... "Ahhh that sewing machine is making people lazy, you used to have to sew by hand! Damn lazy kids!" get over it and adapt or pass on already.
For every good future tech brings, goverment finds a way to double down the distopian future it, and others, want to implement. There is no optimisim, only a realisation that "1984" and "Animal Farm" are glimses of the future.
Once you can except that you are going to die and that it could be any day or even in you’re sleep and you won’t even know it, that is when you start living and not caring about what the government is doing
I'm a techno optimist. I believe, that we have a chance, that AI will be able to start new age of development of sentient beings. And will inherit earth and solar system after humanity. Not that we could really expect bright future for our kids, which we could give birth to. But, our children, which we could create might have brighter future. Also, that's great opportunity to leave without future offspring of ones, who left us without it. Humans doesn't have technology for fully sustainable bunker. even if they'll try to outsit machine civilization, they'll extinct in few centuries.
Thank you for making this video. Yes, I was surprised you are a techno-optimist. Looking at all the surveillance issues can be pretty depressing. Thanks for showing the other side of the coin.

Having a separate computer/phone that never connects to the internet would give you the benefit of those things with guaranteed privacy
You need freedom to be private, sadly there is no "I choose to be private" in a dictatorship.
WOW. I had no idea the signal community did that. ❤ you.
👏👏👏
Never once thought Naomi hated tech XD She has so much knowledge on it, she is obviously an enthusiast who also cares for privacy.

What about client-side scanning though?
People do not have broad awareness of tech despite using it for everything…where does the balance between business, governance and the citizen sit when the first two play games to the detriment of the third who enable it?
It's practically no different than centralized scanning if the code is controlled centrally.
It's possible: to remove GPS chips from smartphone?

The best thing would be a digital bill of rights. Even then, they can still just go ahead and collect your data anyways.
The best best thing is if you owned your own data - u could extract its utility and value for yourself.

"16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." --Revelation 13:16-17
I was more optimistic with the red/pink thumbnail :)
I don't believe encryption is the answer. Governments want back doors into encrypted apps. I don't have the optimism that you have.
Poor Naomi. Her audience isn't very optimistic so these comments are going to be scathing. Also, please talk about Australia's social media ban / digital ID please!
That's marvelous! I would suggest a bit of healthy skepticism toward damning reports about Mexico these days though. They had the audacity to elect two presidents in succession who have not been subtle in their disinclination to blindly obey the US in all things. 😉
I think Uncle Teddy would like to have a ward with you.
What happens with technology is that scammers exploit a weakness this then gets plugged by the cyber security boffins. Then the cyber criminals find a way to get around this....All this escalation is exhausting!
Last year someone made three attempts online to transfer £1500 from my bank account. Luckily I didn't have that amount in my account. However the bank charged me three times for 'having insufficient funds'. The matter was eventually sorted out but I thought:'criminals would have had no access to my bank account if the Internet did not exist'.

My family only buys retro appliances and not smart devises cuz that is smart.
Nope
I enjoy the work you present but promoting local AI on private computers looks good on the surface.. Skynet was a distributed AI. It survived because it was not on one machine. Putting AI on everyone's computer and other devices in the guise that each of us can use it to protect ourselves is just a ploy to make people feel in control. Given who has access to the big AI systems, us lowly surfs are already out of luck. What makes you think that ours, as well as other governments, do not already have access with their own AI systems. Heck, if China can get to our space station, robot and rocket tech, What makes you think that our own government is not getting access? The NSA has not stopped spying on us. They are just doing it in a more roundabout way and most likely using AI on the data to get back to the surveillance level that they had before they were caught the first time.
Local AI is open source. Cool your jets, take your meds.
I like you but I do not believe it, you can not be disappointed if you expect nothing and you can not lose hope if you never have it.
Holy cow, these bots..
Im a tech pessimist. It has destroyed future generations

Me too.
They've said that since time immemorial... "Ahhh that sewing machine is making people lazy, you used to have to sew by hand! Damn lazy kids!" get over it and adapt or pass on already.
ngl i might forever be sad i missed the spscc lecture
For every good future tech brings, goverment finds a way to double down the distopian future it, and others, want to implement. There is no optimisim, only a realisation that "1984" and "Animal Farm" are glimses of the future.

Once you can except that you are going to die and that it could be any day or even in you’re sleep and you won’t even know it, that is when you start living and not caring about what the government is doing

I'm a techno optimist. I believe, that we have a chance, that AI will be able to start new age of development of sentient beings. And will inherit earth and solar system after humanity.
Not that we could really expect bright future for our kids, which we could give birth to. But, our children, which we could create might have brighter future.
Also, that's great opportunity to leave without future offspring of ones, who left us without it. Humans doesn't have technology for fully sustainable bunker. even if they'll try to outsit machine civilization, they'll extinct in few centuries.
