Loud Murmurs

In this episode, our two hosts and two guests continued our discussion on Netflix’s “Social Dilemma”. We talked about how the industry shaped us as practitioners (0:47)  -- how it encouraged our uninhibited curiosity and restricted our imagination of what the Internet could have been(5:40). We also debated whether users should also be considered “laborers” in this new form of capitalism, and if they should get a share of the profit (15:20). We talked about what we did not like about the documentary, which is widely accused of sensationalism and oversimplifying complex issues (31:00). Lastly, we broke down the steps that are currently being taken -- and steps we would like to see (41:38) -- in the long march ahead of defending humanity against surveillance capitalism.Links:《计算机世界的教条和谎言——从设计批判的角度看科技》https://nyshalong.com/event/11“The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” by Shoshana Zuboff“The Curse of Xanadu” https://www.wired.com/1995/06/xanadu/Promo：Find Loud Murmurs in the iTunes podcast store, Google Play, Spoti
