"The natural capital agenda is the definitive expression of our disengagement from the living world. First we lose our wildlife and natural wonders. Then we lose our connections with what remains of life on Earth. Then we lose the words that described what we once knew. Then we call it capital and give it a price. This approach is morally wrong, intellectually vacuous, emotionally alienating and self-defeating." http://www.monbiot.com/2018/05/18/price-less/

For the last two years I've carried a honeypot laptop with me every time I traveled. I checked it in my luggage, left it unattended in my hotel rooms. After each trip, I did forensic analysis on the laptop to detect if it had been tampered with.

So for him it's AI or bust. Either he makes automated moderation work somehow, or Facebook goes under or has to change in some major way.
I think it will turn out that people moderating their own communities is really the only solution.
En grei grunn til å unngå å kjøpe fra IKEA. Bangladesh-avtalen er ikke perfekt men den har gjort livet litt bedre for mange. At de skal kunne oppnå det samme på egen hånd med skjulte leverandørlister er en løgn. https://www.nrk.no/urix/internasjonal-sikkerhetsavtale-uten-ikea_-fem-ar-etter-katastrofen-i-bangladesh-1.14019719
