my imposter syndrome: "you are not qualified to get into infosec"

the guy whose talk I watched on OSINT yesterday on a professional platform: "here is how to do google searches with quotes, you should use a VPN like NordVPN, here is an inspiration quote from Jordan Peterson, and btw I make a quarter million a year."

Thesis:

Both monetization and politicization are forms of gamification that distort people's incentives to act sincerely in public, and instead present a facade of what they hope is popular to their chosen market/audience, in order to trade it for power/status/wealth.

This dynamic leads to a widespread lack of sincerity and then a lack of trust which in turn leads to anger and suspicion and conflict and eventually hollows out the whole society.

How do we incentivise sincere cooperation?

So, I want to talk about the whistleblower, “Facebook (and Instagram) is built to make you feel bad” thing, because it rolls back to something I’ve had strong feelings about since algorithmic timelines first came into vogue: engagement. 1/10

The Windows 10 Start Menu is NOT "Unreasonable Search and Seizure", because,

you typed a keystroke, one entire keystroke, making it a Search, so it's quite reasonable that if a computer tries to process that much data, it's going to have a seizure

Today I learned: Thingiverse are scanning for Amazon URLs, strip out the affiliate code, and replace it with their own affiliate tag.

Sorry Thingiverse, but you're an asshole.

In the same way "carbon footprint" is a concept with some merit that has been weaponised beyond the point of return by gas companies, "echo chamber" places the blame on consumers of social media when the real problem isn't that they're completely surrounded only by opinions they've selected to hear, it's that the social media companies are bombarding them with things they'll find anger provoking or distressing
