@ebbot 2/2 reacts by making possible new discoveries. Much technical progress is of value in making scientific development possible. And since science is the final justification of our Western world, money devoted to these technical exploits seems to be legitimately spent. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

Smartwatches feel like an electronic bracelet put on the wrist of a prisoner. Just wanted to put that out there. #dystopia

@ebbot 2/2 to the system are usually very inefficient. (Look at Latin America.) Thus an advanced industrial society can tolerate only those small-scale communities that are emasculated, tamed and made into tools of the system. --Ted Kaczynki, Technological Slavery (2010) #technology #dystopia

@ebbot 3/3 difficulties of compensation for oil spills or for disasters like Bhopal. Insurance companies, indeed, have to have growing reserves to handle the risks of terrorism, the taking of hostages, and air crashes. The risks that we have to deal with are different from those in the 19th century. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

@ebbot 2/2 scrap, which takes a long time to eliminate. Increasingly, indeed, we are making products that cannot be eliminated. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

👆 "A grave trend is emerging in chatbot design, … AI developers are deliberately engineering machines in ways “that create the illusion of inner life”.
Many have noted this evolution in their AI systems over the past two years. Asked for advice on planting geraniums, a chatbot might refer to “what worked in my garden”. In response to a user baring their soul over a bad breakup, they might reassure “I know exactly what you mean”. In voice mode, models breathe."

All our indicators are falsified by the brevity of monthly or weekly reporting unemployment rates, prices, trade, public opinion polls on international political decisions or the popularity of a politician. We need to realize that all these numbers and percentages mean absolutely nothing. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

@ebbot 3/3 Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia
-
@ebbot 2/2 possible, what is probable, and what is merely desired. The impossibility of knowing exactly what we can do is very plain in the political game that utilizes technical potential. The great debate about star wars is significant in this regard. No one knows precisely what this is, or whether it is technically or economically feasible. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

@ebbot 2/2 Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia
-
No human brain or committee can master the whole. In other words, the chronic ignorance of those who make decisions in every field is not due to the absence of data or to lack of access, but to the disproportion between our limited mental capacities and the unlimited complexes that we think we can daily assimilate. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

Years after writing this essay, I finally get round to publishing it. I know, I got distracted...
In our electronic age, the typewriter is an obsolete contraption, but in the post-digital world depicted in the macabre fantasy, Silas Morlock, this relic of the analogue era has become the surest means of speaking to future generations.

@ebbot 2/2 modern society an individual%27s loyalty must be first to the system and only secondarily to a small-scale community, because if the internal loyalties of small-scale communities were stronger than loyalty to the system, such communities would pursue their own advantage at the expense of the syste --Ted Kaczynki, Technological Slavery (2010) #technology #dystopia

We do not know what is dangerous. We see clearly that the experts do not know either. This uncertainty is the disconcerting factor. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

What is needed is a new revolutionary movement, dedicated to the elimination of technological society, that will take measures to exclude all leftists, as well as the assorted neurotics, lazies, incompetents, charlatans, and persons deficient in self-control who are drawn to resistance movements in America today. --Ted Kaczynki, Technological Slavery (2010) #technology #dystopia
-
I can conclude without misgivings that on the one hand forecasting is more than ever necessary in our world but also that economic and technical forecasts in fact are always inaccurate. This leads us into the twofold question of our failure to foresee and to predict. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia
-
There has to be forecasting of economic growth and of technical possibilities. As technique becomes more powerful, forecasting becomes not only more necessary but also more accelerated. The more powerful the technique, the more serious the effects of an error in forecasting. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia
-
@ebbot 2/2 ambivalent. Its negative effects are never suppressed nor are they a reason for suppressing operations that have positive effects. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

@ebbot 2/2 this imperious demand. At best they will be assessed financially and compensation will be paid. But the work will go on. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

@ebbot 2/2 advantages are widespread. Often, too, the disadvantages for the local group are barely perceptible (to public opinion) and the global advantages for the population carry much more weight. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

It is always... interesting when you experience complete lack of media literacy in real time.
If you think "Night City needs Judge Dredd" you have both misunderstood the Cyberpunk genre AND the Judge Dredd comic books.

@ebbot 2/2 with an absolute risk. This is why all technical development that increases infinitely a risk that is hypothetical but absolute seems to me to be totally reprehensible. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia
-
@ebbot 2/2 socially. Its only logic is the simplistic logic of artificial machines. Technocratic competence is that of experts whose general blindness envelops specialized lucidity. Socially and politically, technocratic action can only be mutilated and mutilating. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

If a venture carries with it a considerable potential risk, even if this is not normally foreseeable or short-term, the course of wisdom is not to undertake it. This principle would suppose full mastery of the situation and disbelief in progress. For this reason there is no chance that it will ever be applied. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia
