‘Signal is in many ways, the opposite of the Silicon Valley model. It’s a nonprofit that has never taken investment, makes its product available for free, has no advertisements & collects virtually no info on its users’ The very best Meredith Whittaker ↘️ wired.com/story/meredith…
Such a delight to sit down with the great Andy Greenberg (@agreenberg at the other places) for a long engaged convo on surveillance, AI, my wild path through tech, and how by rejecting the toxic norm Signal provides a shining model for better, healthier tech futures♥️ wired.com/story/meredith…
Combine Google's massive surveillance power with the world's most lethal military, & you get a problem: Overclassification by the government + Corporate secrecy in tech = Zero accountability Great interview from Meredith Whittaker wired.com/story/meredith… web.archive.org/web/2024082901…
"Yoking the interests of a massive surveillance corporation to the world’s most lethal military...and the marriage between overclassification on the government side and corporate secrecy on the tech industry side would be a disaster" Truly an excellent interview by Meredith Whittaker.
“A signature strike is ad targeting but for death.” Great interview with Signal’s Meredith Whittaker. wired.com/story/meredith…
"Signal is a nonprofit because a for-profit structure leads to a scenario where one of my board members goes to Davos, talks to some guy, comes back excitedly telling me we need an AI strategy for profit." Meredith Whittaker 🔥🔥🔥 wired.com/story/meredith…
So proud of and constantly inspired by my sister Meredith Whittaker for not only ensuring that we have safe ways to communicate, but also that there is an alternative to the Silicon Valley model! One that will not destroy the world! wired.com/story/meredith…
#Signal is safe; it's reliable; it's private. Even more: it's cool. And it's growing. Models that do not rely on #sruveillance are possible, and better. More #privacy is coming. Wonderful interview with Meredith Whittaker, by Andy Greenberg (@agreenberg at the other places). #AIEthics wired.com/story/meredith…
You can‘t talk about AI without talking about surveillance, and vice versa. Privacy requires independent critical infrastructure and a paradigm shift in tech, says Meredith Whittaker, and Signal is in it for the long haul. w.
