@thomasfuchs We don't know what makes one wake up in the morning and decide to climb a mountain or quit their job.
It may be some completely different process or there might be something to this pattern-matching statistical thing.
Do ants have agency? Do ant colonies?
We definitively must regulate the shit out of these big techs.
But saying that X does not do Y when both are poorly understood and defined is not the way, IMO.

@tambourineman@mastodon.cloud We obviously know that “X does not do Y” when it’s a machine, and we know exactly how it was programmed, and we know exactly what it’s doing. Everything about it is understood.
