Tesla soll laut einer US-Klage Kilometerzähler manipuliert haben, um Garantieansprüche zu vermeiden. Ein Kunde behauptet, sein Model Y habe die gefahrene Strecke um 15 % zu hoch angezeigt, wodurch die 50.000-Meilen-Garantie vorzeitig ablief. Die Reparatur kostete ihn 10.000 Dollar. Tesla soll statt realer Strecke algorithmisch geschätzte Werte nutzen. Das führe dazu, dass Kund*innen Zusatzgarantien kaufen oder selbst zahlen müssen. Tesla weist die Vorwürfe zurück. Die Klage in Kalifornien könnte über eine Million Fahrzeuge betreffen.

@Dianora You might find Hamilton Holt's Commercialism and Journalism of interest:

On the relationship between media monopoly, propaganda, censorship, surveillance, and manipulation:

Own work. I'd realised that manipulation (general and targeted) are another element in subsequent discussion. Tim Wu's The Master Switch, some of Bruce Schneier's work, and of course Shoshana Zuboff's Surveillance Capitalism echo similar themes, the latter was a strong influence. None fully develops the interconnectedness of all four aspects however.

In 2018, on March 17 the so called "#CambridgeAnalytica Files" were published by the Observer (Guardian Media Group, web.archive.org/web/2018031801).

The journalistic investigation by Carole Cadwalladr and Emma Graham-Harrison [1] discussed one of the first examples of digital social engineering in the context of potentially subverting democratic processes via #SocialMedia and #MachineLearning techniques with custom #manipulation of each accessible individual elector.

Overview in the video [2].

Along the lines of what I've been saying about asking questions, being curious and promoting curiosity, avoiding talking points, and sticking to core values in discussion.

This applies to political dogma as well.

"The only thing that can get someone to think critically about their dogma is to think about their foundation for the dogmas, which is their sense of themselves, their worldview, and their social identities that are important to them."

(Probably paraphrased slightly.)

"Understanding the broken business of Spotify. Spotify's business is failing. They are increasing their prices, firing their employees and still can't make a profit. The music streaming business model as we know it doesn't work. AI Music is starting to get pretty good. Music artists are getting ripped off, music labels are fighting back and we the users are getting a continued worse experience. So what now?"—RAISED

Encore une nouvelle implémentation d'une IA gratuite pour le bien être des utilisateurs bien sûr !

Le plus drôle c'est de lui demander comment la désactiver. L'utilisation du conditionnel dans son retour est "intéressant" !

Pour le coup, ça n'est pas une "hallucination" 😆

Billionnaires doing Billionaire things...

The lady billionaire who last week said she wanted to buy some Bay stores to "make them great again” is now putting one of the very large malls she owns up for sale.

No connection...really...
