DEVELOPERS: Terminology poll! I am interested in your understanding of the word “property,” regardless of programming language. -
(whispers: the original iPhone was in many ways a superior user experience) https://vmst.io/@jalefkowit/113162083054623081The "impersonal" technology — "cloud" computing, for example — is carefully designed to direct attention elsewhere (& thereby hides its redistribution of externalities)
The personal tools that don't self-aggrandize don't get considered as "technology"

(whispers: the original iPhone was in many ways a superior user experience) https://vmst.io/@jalefkowit/113162083054623081I just stuck a catchy name on your fundamentally new-to-us-in-this-timeline idea
Almost all our "personal technology" — from phones to "smart" houses and cars — draws attention to itself.
But it seems important to consider that it's both "personal" and "technology" that is self-aggrandizing

Yesterday I learned that the person who came up with the "Grabby Alien" hypothesis is an economist.Like so much else in the TESCREAL crowd, they cannot imagine that aliens/transcended minds would not be venal and petty and extractive like they are
Their projection and short-sighted view means they are firmly planted in the Defect corner of the Prisoner's Dilemma
