Section 9 Commentaries on White Monkey's Adventures in Taipeitown
...NXVIM (Nexium) Blackmailing Sex Cult infiltration, Dr. Mengele Experiments on unsuspecting children, CCP compromised execs, Mexican Education Surveillance Tech mafias, a mysterious murder at CTRL labs, a Facebook acquired competitor...
And of course! Nazis!.. Why do they always have to be Nazis?...
EEG discrimination coming to an interview near you... Are your brainwaves "professional" enough to feed you, Citizen!?...
Stay cool Fonze.. Tinfoil hats are futile. And very passe this season.. They can't really "read" your thoughts. But they sure can make your boss or your parental unit, maybe your teacher, or your friendly neighborhood CCP thought-crime inspector believe whatever the ML powered ArseKo patented Bull-Shit-o-Meter AI classifier strapped to your noggin says you're thinking...
But only if we let them get away with this $hit.
Don't think about the White Monkey. Are you thinking about the White Monkey? Thanks, twice more and we're trained...
When dealing with totalitarian cults,
Everything gets turned on its head...
So you just gotta learn to think with your arse, mate!
-Sasha Baron Cohen, Collective Apocryphals
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
Once upon a time, just a few months after Byzantine forces got waived into the burning lands of Damascus, beginning the scheduled start of the 3rd War to End All Wars (this time there was a definite chance it will all end for good), a secret NotMossad listening post in Tselinograd, KZ cybercepted a stack of communiques.
These were destined for the former secretary of the Communist Party Committee of the Karaganda Metallurgical Kombinat, currently Glorious Presidentator of The Superior Potassium Nation of Kazakhstan, The Great Bai himself, partorg Nursultan Abishulyevich Nazarbayev.
This cybercept contained most interesting information on The Middle Kingdom's psychographic population manipulation efforts inside United Federation's heavily infiltrated biotronic tech industry...
Modern bridle is called an NDA.
When they try to shut you up,
Talk in silly riddles,
As loud as you can.
All this raises questions about the real purpose of ArseKo’s Attento technology.
Management including Gluteus Minimus have stated that ArseKo is trying to collect EEG data from millions of users.
If our Attento technology was really being used to provide attention and meditation metrics to users, collection of mass EEG data would not be necessary. Attention metric algorithms can be trained on a much, much, much smaller user sample. Why does ArseKo Management insist on collecting millions of people’s EEG data?
Personally, I know how hard it is to pitch commercial EEG applications to investors, been doing it back when Gengis Khan was still trying to figure ways to pass his gaokao. There’s no money in mindfulness and attention training. But, if you pitch using personal improvement to fool people into providing their private data for free, then VCs get very excited, then you get FitBit funding!
Is ArseKo management secretly trying to collect millions of people’s data under the guise of Attento training to provide unsuspecting people’s brain waves to third parties? Is the Nexium nazi sex cult one of these entities?
What and Why is ArseKo management covering up?
Is it just garden-variety negligence and incompetence?
Is it unrelated wrongdoing such as garden-variety embezzlement, tax evasion or improper money flows?
Or are our executives involved with whatever Nexian’s nefarious plans were?
What is the ArseKo Attento technology’s aims and goals?
Why is large data collection goal being stated?
Are there plans to sell user data to third parties?
How do we make sure our algorithms are effective and do not maim our user’s psyche due to faulty classifiers?
Being forthright is paramount in trying to re-establish the trust of the public and the authorities.
We need to inform the users about the full implications of using our technology.
We need to inform them about how their data can be used against them for blackmail or discrimination later in life.
We need to inform the users about potential for neurological damage if training with defective algorithms, similar to fitness equipment.
Users need to give an assertive consent to be subjected to these hazards, not a passive uninformed coercion, as part of their school requirements.
Users need to be given ways to rescind consent and retrieve their data if security threats or malfeasance is possible. It is their private data, it is their unalienable personal property.
Even threats deemed unimportant or resolved to reassure users that ArseKo is taking their data privacy seriously. Hell, maybe we just send them regular “your EEG data is safe” updates to keep them reassured.
Anyone going thru a study or data collection needs to give informed consent to that particular study, not to wholesale data collection. They must also be informed as to the general protocol, methods, purposes and conclusions drawn from the experiments. (This can be done after the study to not affect the experiments, if we do any longitudinal studies accommodations can be made. This is how it is done in academia to not traumatize the subjects.) Even if we accidentally show jewish stars to jewish kids, crosses to catholics and hammer-sickles to kids in China there is a whole lot of questions and assumptions that the subjects would be justified in making. Denials of wrongdoing for corporate coverup reasons only further traumatize the subjects.
Most important policy change we need is robust anti-bullying, anti-retaliation, whistleblowing protections and a change from at-will to just cause termination to let ArseKo scientists, engineers and other employees voice their concerns about safety of users, clients and employees.
