You be the judge: [^]Quote: Nearly 30 years later, Agre’s paper seems eerily prescient, a startling vision of a future that has come to pass in the form of a data industrial complex that knows no borders and few laws. Data collected by disparate ad networks and mobile apps for myriad purposes is being used to sway elections or, in at least one case, to out a gay priest. But Agre didn’t stop there. He foresaw the authoritarian misuse of facial recognition technology, he predicted our inability to resist well-crafted disinformation and he foretold that artificial intelligence would be put to dark uses if not subjected to moral and philosophical inquiry.

I think the corollary to that is "Idiots or high IQ/EQ, one cannot have both." And the conclusion would be that if everyone has high IQ/EQ, you can have security and freedom. Just my 2c.

EQ = Emotional Quotient? Never heard it before, but if so, some so-called intellectual geniuses are emotional idiots.

Yes, and they can be the most dangerous of all. They have the abilities to do great harm (as well as great good), but often don't have the emotional maturity to realize the full consequences of their actions.
If they are caught, then (if the local law allows this) I would give them a lesser punishment by reason of diminished capacity.

Maybe not so much a prophet, but more like a blueprint. Predictions could be seen as ideas to be utilized for either good or bad. Phillip K. Dick[^] comes to mind.

While I may not have worded it appropriately, my point is that predictions can and usually are self-fulfilling. There were already several articles at the time "predicting" how technology could be used for data collection and media influence. This is nothing new and has always been the case through out history. The current technology is just another tool in the pursuit of power and control.

True. Elizabeth I had a remarkably effective intelligence-gathering organization, headed by Sir Francis Walsingham. I doubt that things have become more open since then.
The difference today is that even private organizations such as Google, Facebook, etc. have the wherewithal to collect and analyse such data. Moreover, most of us hand their data over willingly!

I saw a documentary on that. Really interesting.

Yes, they get us through pride and all of it's forms (vanity, greed, etc.).

Right now, there is a good chance your phone is tracking your location—even with GPS services turned off. And I predict it will be implemented by the carriers approximately never

The technology looks good, but I agree. It will never be implemented. Data has become the new gold standard in revenue.

Of course it won't affect the performance of my machine. The TPM requirement means those rounded corners and transparencies will never touch it.
