The fact that tyrannies don't care about privacy does not mean that a lack of privacy creates tyranny.
Actually, it might. You can call out to each person and address their concerns, then remind them why this isn't the answer they need. It's not a sure thing, but a whole building being able to pick apart a crowd and personalize the action, saying "I've already called your mum. What do you want me to tell her?" can have a lot of weight.

Me in 2030: "Kids these days! And their fancy Mind Reading! Back in my days, you'd get to chose which parts of your opinions you'd yell at people on the internet!"
hehe
Meanwhile back in the InfoCapital those who disliked your opinions would selectively edit and subvert your message by massaging your body language and facial expressions. With prolonged experience the recipient will learn to recognise and interpret those edited visual and audible tags, leading to the misinterpretation of telepathy as those skills would be used in face-to-face contact.
People can't handle others freedom of speech as it is. And with how many speaking mistakes we all make in a lifetime - there is no cost to speech that is affordable for anyone.
They'd lose their sanity attempting to share free thought.
Don't let totalitarianism take away the only things you actually own - choices, like what you share with the world, and what ideas shooting about your head are worth indulging - because everyone gets screwy thoughts, its how your personal identity filters them and ranks their validity and importance that matters - and that is entirely for the individual to weigh and decide.
Because you can't learn otherwise, and nobody starts at the finish with no learning.
All these modern movements are nothing but thoughtless emotional knee jerks free of any kind of logical assessment of whether we can even actually live that way.
Modernists believe we haven't figured life out a LONG long time ago, they think this "age of technology" changes things - it doesn't change anything at all in the base make-up of the animal we are.
Evolution is physiological - not behavioural. And you can't just turn a switch and say "know our minds will work like this" - its just braindead nonsense purported by fools and the control class to keep the sheep asleep at the trough.

Seven years later and all his predictions are wrong. The change has arrived, we do live in a dystopia, the revelation that everyone is a criminal increased crime because it exonerates everyone. Everyone has accepted that our lives are not going to get better which is a paradox in that its a self fulfilling prophecy of society as a whole as we have duped ourselves into thinking we have to accept it. The only possible next big change that can make things better at this point is a solar flare that wipes it all out and forces us to once again interact as human beings.

@@taliakellegg5978 It won't, because user adoption would be minimal compared to the mainstream engines. Much in the way of how Linux has a very very small % of marketshare in PCs, adopting the decentralized engine will prive you from many features the mainstream ones (windows in Linux's case) can offer, which in turn will be it's downfall since the average user simply won't give those up or know better. Much like how Tom says on the video, the mainstream engines share data amongst themselves so decentralization in terms of competition won't do much because if there are additional engines they'll be either sharing data and be mostly the same thing or be irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

You can always make a private connection and be entirely obscure to any outsider.

I pick the former
the only "private connection" is one that uses protocols that are completely new and only known to you and whoever you connect to.

2014 tom scott: sea shanties will never be at the top of the charts
2021: watch this
Does that mean the timeline Tom proposed is now non-canon?
This made me feel physically sick with dread. Not sure how I'll adapt to your world.
Same. I don't want this. I think I'm going to have to live in some rural area or something
JackMcJackJack offline Win98 computer or WinXP. Completely inaccessible. That's my way around it
You keep up or get lost
This is not what will happen, but something like this must. Someone someday will figure out how to use all of your data, and that will be the end of privacy
Pull a Ted K
can someone please remind me to re watch this video in 2030
Benkia09 will do

I'll be here
If his fiction comes true, you will be reminded.
Sure :

2030 : Privacy is dead
Google : **frantically taking notes to do it as fast as possible**
We are now closer to 2030 than the creation of this video.
SHUT
That made me feel physically ill I hate that
You should be on TED
He was on a TED talk.
His t-shirt should be RED
Who's Ted
WE’RE JUST GONA KILLL EMMMMMMMM
This video has become even scarier after the Neuralink presentation.
Imagine having to share a Minecraft dirt hut with someone else.
...the what? (you will get it when you see this comments date of writing)
What's that?
HEEHEEHEEHEE
@@tfwthelsdkicksin6083 It's literally a chip that they put it in your brain you control it with the mobile app
And 7 years later, VR lets you experience things in a fidelity that has never been seen before, can provide deeply personal and meaningful experiences, and is getting cheaper and more accesible all the time. Change is only ever noted in the history books.
@Game Over which company is it
@Game Over what company?
I couldn't live without my VR and I suspect as the real world gets more and more insane it may be one of the last hiding places us uninitiated individuals have power over
16:32 "If they're already there, it's a little too late." from 2021, can I just say, yikes?
"2030: Privacy is dead."
Me: We're only 10 years away boizzzz!!!!!!
@Danny Gee i wouldn't say its dead, but its definitely dying...
No it isn't lmao, no PERSON has my data. An algorithm has it. No person will ever have my data unless I get hacked, which hasn't happened.
@@wheezel55 ok but consider people can pay to send you messages based on your data
@@gg1k No, they can't send me a personal message based on my data. They select some things about their target demographic then Google, Unity and other advertising companies show their ads to me. They don't actually know who I am, and they don't have my data.
@@wheezel55 ok but it doesn't matter if they can see your data personally they know you're in a demographic that they sent their ads to and that's the same thing
I would read a fiction on this.
+Jacob Thomas read "Ready Player One", its not exactly like this but it has a similar idea of everyone being connected to an engine (or as its called in the book "the Oasis")
Ooh, thanks!
+Jacob Thomas "Feed" is literally this video put into a book, but a bit more different
Bluescreen by Dan Wells also works on a similar idea.
One thing I recommend to check out is Shadowrun. Its not a traditional book, but instead a Role playing game. A traditional one, played with pee and paper. But the concept of the world is that its 2075, and magic is back in the world, and coexists with technology, world is ran by megacorps, and privacy is dead in another way. Its an very interesting concept, and if you forget the magic on it, it doesnt seem too impossible.
Imagine telling someone in 2014 about ChatGPT.
We are now closer to 2030 then 2014 when this was said
Great talk, but disagree about the keyboard becoming niche. My prediction: until a reliable BCI (brain-computer interface) is made, keyboards will remain pretty much exactly like they are right now. Typing is the most comfortable way to get precise data from your brain into a regular PC. Think about it: would you write a novel, blog, or computer program using your voice? No. Even if it is "faster" to speak than type, it just doesn't feel as natural or comfortable when you're trying to choose your words carefully.
can you please tell my brother that? he uses the voice to text feature on his phone for practically everything, even in the middle of other people having a conversation or watching TV
its the future, we now have throat mic's that listen to your humming and translate that into text. loads quicker than using your hands and leaves your hands free for other tasks. until we get BCI :)
I made that reply as joke, but if you keep your mouth closed and hum the sentence (or anything you can read) it works. I can tell the diffrrence in the hum's so I computer would be able to too. why is this not a thing!
people probably said the same thing about using smartphones. Although I do agree that talking won't replace keyboards. In things like school or work you often spend several hours typing at a time, imagine talking for that long everyday.

Sorry no. My 15 year old dictates anything more than a line or two into the Chromebook we bought that is required at her public high school. She's trained herself to how it works and it to how she works so that now together they are amazingly effective. Quite something to watch really.
*I think I just went through my mid-life crisis,* and the future I'm mentally stressed about doesn't even exist yet.
same D:
You sure about that? Back then it was just a theory, but now we can already see implementations of these being put into everything already.
Funny how he calls ChatGPT....
2022/23 gang.I.keep rewatching it from time to time.After release of ChatGPT especially
