thats why this is a legal battle as much it a technological one

it comes down to the rights to own the data you produce, and have it easily accesible. Solid is just a way of giving people option to excercise this right

Well its a double whammy -companies are disincitivized, but also the average consumer does not understand or care what this means.

Most comsumers just want websites to work. Something like SOLID would add friction. People who care about privacy are a vocal minority.

when AI starts thinking on peoples behalf, then they will care more about privacy

i believe that this is rising tide, maybe those who care are minority, but not for long

google has all data > google creates AI from data > google embeds their values into AI > you use the AI > you become what ever the google AI wants

"over the past 20 years" is not the same as next 20 years

centralisation of power leads to fascism and historically people didn't really like that ie 2. WW

that is exactly what is going to happen, as more people become aware.

that's why we all need to exercise our rights and freedoms. I'm scared that if we fail to do this in next few years. And let the AI be used in similar ways like it has been used to create social media algorithms. Then we are all fucked!

Whoever owns your AI owns you, so it better be you who owns it!

'that costs a lot of money'

price of intelligence is dropping day by day like it or not, sooner or later price incentives for someone to host such social media experience could become financially viable

you just created a comment here.

also your government, your service providers and many other entities are creating data on your behalf

ideally you should be able in a simple way to host your stuff, in this case in a POD. That service should be provided by a utility company, same way we have internet providers now. They will be well regulated and it would be in their interest to safely hold your data because if not, they would face legal and financial consequences.

All other services would read/write from your Pod.

current data points are much more valuable than historical data points, so storing old data doesn't have much incentives

also by having ability to enable/disable access to your data, you have the power of who gets what and for which purpose

also reselling of your data should become illegal to start with, would you be OKAY if your lawyer sells your data? or your colorectal surgeon? off course not, we have laws in place for that, and same laws should be applied to whoever handles your personal data

> current data points are much more valuable than historical data points, so storing old data doesn't have much incentives

Not true -- advertising profiles are vastly more valuable when based on a lifetime of data.

> also by having ability to enable/disable access to your data, you have the power of who gets what

But realistically, when are you ever going to disable access? If you want people to be able to read your replies no matter what social network they're using, you're going to make those replies available to every social network.

> and for which purpose also reselling of your data should become illegal to start with

This is my point. The solution here is legal, not technological. Personal data storage doesn't change anything legally, and changing the law would prevent reselling even if you didn't have personal data storage.

It seems important not to confuse the two, in order not to give people false hopes.

I agree that this is not just a technological problem to be solved. Technology by it self can't fix the problems, but it can help nudge the human experience in good or bad way. Right now, we gave our data to large corporations and we got the lovely attention economy thats being feed on human rage, envy and greed.

Solid idea is more in line with revolution and demand for our representatives to give their people internet that can push the humanity forward, and not just let us waist countless hours on doom scrolling.

But those who actually want to do this should be allowed by law to practice their ownership over their data.

I, and many like me, would pay for centralised service or any other service if it meant that we own our data and can tune the algorithms to our own preferences. I wont pay for doom scrolling, but would gladly pay for algorithm to serve me content that would better my human experience.

Governments have given corporation to much power, people need to rise up agains that, if it remains the same in AI age, we humans, and our collective mind would erode to the point of no return.

so it can read left and right motion, can it do other directions as well?
