Downvoting CCC presentations? Wow! The kids these days just ain’t got no respect… 😅 This isn’t some youtube conspiracy video garbage. The author, Trevor Paglen, is a recognized and decorated veteran journalist in the fields of surveillance and data collection.

Shows how many people downvote/upvote based on title but I can agree that most people don’t have 50 minutes of their time

I think they probably have the time, but have, through conditioning, lost the ability to concentrate on a single theme that long unless it’s a Hollywood spectacle, and are so over-saturated with distraction tech they can’t sit still that long. It’s much easier to doom scroll for 3 hours while texting several people simultaneously than it is to pay attention to one serious topic discussed in detail.

I used to do culture jamming pirate cinema shows (including some at CCC) and found unless you present soundbite sized material with topic change-ups throughout, people simply cannot stay focused and will lose the thread within about 6 minutes on average.

My guess would be that folks don’t consider UFOs, magic, mind control, etc. to be “Technology”.

Either that or they clicked the link and get a super long video leading with an image of Area 51 and go “fuck everything about that.”

Probably could have been presented better given the potential audience.

The title could have been infinitely better.

Remote controlled zombies…? Alright, that one’s pretty badass.

Oh look an eye stabbingly bad website talking about aliens and The future of AI.

If you want to be taken seriously talking about AI and info ops, then you publish something like this. Not something fueled by a bad acid trip.
