I like this video but you didn’t answer the question: Why should I care about all of this data being used?
Informative and balanced.
I've never been intellectually scared into not skipping a video, LOL, as if I'm actually going to apply for NASA,ROFL!!!
This older American needed closed-captioning to understand her but the illustrations are good. The subject is timely.
Thanks for the very informing video! I enjoyed it :)
Big data. Big hard drive.
WRONG. I use adblocker like most intelligent people. 0:04
C. Lincoln you still can see ads at UA-cam and being tracked by google
Data is the most valuable asset on the planet Earth.
0:18 bit extreme. I don't think it goes that far but ok.
Definitely I can see it in the far future
Data is not information. Information consists of data that reduce uncertainty. The problem with any data, big or small, is that it will be taken as informative when it is not.
"Politics is about the content of the messages, not the platform that delivers them."
This is most patently misinformed thing I've ever heard.
How did this statement make it in? This is a fundamental misunderstanding of everything about politics.
Maybe in an ideal world, that's what it would be about. However, in our world, the medium significantly impacts the message, whether that's method of distribution, the voicing of the message or the form in which its delivered.
>boomers pretending they understand new media
When you grow up you will understand. Maybe.
Politics can't be reduced to elections
@@HugoFauzi I agree. If you can arrange public music contests where half a billion people can enter their choice in seconds with the help of technology, it should be possible to let people have a more direct and continuous access to the decision making process. On voluntary basis.
I agree with you. This is just wrong. How can anyone believe in that? (Stephen Bannon had an entire team working on search engine optimisation and cracking the recommendation algorithm of Facebook, by the way.)
"Certainly t helped people to know which voters to target." How do you know that? What were the validity coefficients for their predictions? How do you get valid predictions out of non-probability samples, which all samples of attitude data are?
😂In order to keep DATA out of your "Byiyizzuissizznes"
Don't Care
I don't like being blackmailed, so I stopped watching when she said: "If you stop watching now [...] in five year times some recruiting algorithm will reject you for that job as an astronaut". Even assuming this was just a way of making the point that my online data could be used to assess my application for a job, it was arrogant to suggest that a prospective employer would regard as positive watching this video which, according to the comments, seems to have pretty basic and low-quality information.
I think it was a joke but delivered deadpan
Most of this was very tech illiterate. It would've been better to bring on an actual data scientist rather than just some broadcaster.
"Keep the humans in control"
Politics was reduced to a marketing campaign decades ago. The size of the data sets has nothing to do with it. Here's a simple principle: A small random sample will be more informative than a large non-random sample.
influence is absolutely about the platform and the message...that's a crucial part of manipulation. to not know that and not account for that is negligent...and yeah..."let's use it the white way"...? kool aid drunk here...
You are standing to close to the mirror.
If you think the context in which influence is asserted is irrelevant to the outcome, you must also not believe in evolution.
who is still watching this 2023
Is that a man or a woman?
Oh dad, bless you. Just pick up your bottle and go back to the basement. See you at Christmas.
It's a confusion-generating entity for idiots.
