What I find most interesting about this is brutal truth in "Privacy was already dead in 2014, we just hadn't realized it yet".
Yep. In hindsight in 2020 it was kinda obvious. But we still missed it.

Tom Scott is like a social media Stephan Hawking. I adore his way of storytelling opinions that are needed to be discussed.
can you imagine stephen hawking coming up with anything as batshit insane as the idea of people communicating through what seems to be telepathy via mumbling quietly into a 'throat microphone'? comparing this absolutely nuts ted talk to one of the smartest men of our generation makes you sound almost as crazy as tom does.

The fact that tyrannies don't care about privacy does not mean that a lack of privacy creates tyranny.
Actually, it might. You can call out to each person and address their concerns, then remind them why this isn't the answer they need. It's not a sure thing, but a whole building being able to pick apart a crowd and personalize the action, saying "I've already called your mum. What do you want me to tell her?" can have a lot of weight.

Everyone is providing a life log for their friends, and if they’re good at it, an audience beyond that as well. They’re the ones getting sponsorship and product placement.”

Me in 2030: "Kids these days! And their fancy Mind Reading! Back in my days, you'd get to chose which parts of your opinions you'd yell at people on the internet!"
hehe
Meanwhile back in the InfoCapital those who disliked your opinions would selectively edit and subvert your message by massaging your body language and facial expressions. With prolonged experience the recipient will learn to recognise and interpret those edited visual and audible tags, leading to the misinterpretation of telepathy as those skills would be used in face-to-face contact.
People can't handle others freedom of speech as it is. And with how many speaking mistakes we all make in a lifetime - there is no cost to speech that is affordable for anyone.
They'd lose their sanity attempting to share free thought.
Don't let totalitarianism take away the only things you actually own - choices, like what you share with the world, and what ideas shooting about your head are worth indulging - because everyone gets screwy thoughts, its how your personal identity filters them and ranks their validity and importance that matters - and that is entirely for the individual to weigh and decide.
Because you can't learn otherwise, and nobody starts at the finish with no learning.
All these modern movements are nothing but thoughtless emotional knee jerks free of any kind of logical assessment of whether we can even actually live that way.
Modernists believe we haven't figured life out a LONG long time ago, they think this "age of technology" changes things - it doesn't change anything at all in the base make-up of the animal we are.
Evolution is physiological - not behavioural. And you can't just turn a switch and say "know our minds will work like this" - its just braindead nonsense purported by fools and the control class to keep the sheep asleep at the trough.
You own nothing and be happy

Seven years later and all his predictions are wrong. The change has arrived, we do live in a dystopia, the revelation that everyone is a criminal increased crime because it exonerates everyone. Everyone has accepted that our lives are not going to get better which is a paradox in that its a self fulfilling prophecy of society as a whole as we have duped ourselves into thinking we have to accept it. The only possible next big change that can make things better at this point is a solar flare that wipes it all out and forces us to once again interact as human beings.

wait, i'm to slow to know if this could work? i want to believe that decentralization can fix this
@@taliakellegg5978 It won't, because user adoption would be minimal compared to the mainstream engines. Much in the way of how Linux has a very very small % of marketshare in PCs, adopting the decentralized engine will prive you from many features the mainstream ones (windows in Linux's case) can offer, which in turn will be it's downfall since the average user simply won't give those up or know better. Much like how Tom says on the video, the mainstream engines share data amongst themselves so decentralization in terms of competition won't do much because if there are additional engines they'll be either sharing data and be mostly the same thing or be irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

You can always make a private connection and be entirely obscure to any outsider.
Allways walk the middle path
I pick the former
the only "private connection" is one that uses protocols that are completely new and only known to you and whoever you connect to.
So either you start coding your own encryption algorithm, or you'll never have that.
I don't see the issue with no one knowing who I am.
Weird how I keep loosing track of whether Tom is talking about 2030 or 2020, the "present".
I cant wait, in 7 years, to look back at this video and see how right he was.
We can already see that he's right.
I personally think this is the most probable version of the future that I have heard.
+starilie It's rational, that's true, but I think it's more about the details Tom provided. He's always been a master of presenting "fake" material of hard-to-imagine scales and making it sound believable (like his "the day google stopped checking for password" or something video). And while that doesn't say anything about the probability of any such scenario happening, I believe it comes down to a believable presentation, not necessarily the content itself.
Look at the number of views of this video.. your view is in there
Does it seem any worse now?

The future is somewhat here already, but only for the Western (Russia+Some Asia). Try it in other large states Africa and Rural Asia, not that the technology wont catch up, but the death by starvation, famine, natural catestropy, how will that be avertered , does anyone care, do they want to care ?
And now with the government trying to pass something that destroys privacy... Yep, this is happening.
take a shot every time tom sighs like he’s reminiscing about the good old days that haven’t happened yet

We are now closer to 2030 then 2014 when this was said
We are now closer to 2030 than the creation of this video.
SHUT
That made me feel physically ill I hate that
the scariest thing is that i find it difficult to tell when hes talking about the present vs the future
This video has become even scarier after the Neuralink presentation.
Imagine having to share a Minecraft dirt hut with someone else.

(6:25) I've disabled cookies, and only enable them per-site basis. It works fine. Facebook can no longer save cookies. I also have disabled third party requests, and enable them per-site basis. For example on RUclips, I need to allow google, googlevideo and gstatic for streaming and logging in. But this prevents third party things to load and do whatever they want. No more Facebook plugins on websites to track me. It's better this way.

*I think I just went through my mid-life crisis,* and the future I'm mentally stressed about doesn't even exist yet.

You sure about that? Back then it was just a theory, but now we can already see implementations of these being put into everything already.

And 7 years later, VR lets you experience things in a fidelity that has never been seen before, can provide deeply personal and meaningful experiences, and is getting cheaper and more accesible all the time. Change is only ever noted in the history books.
@Game Over which company is it
@Game Over what company?
I couldn't live without my VR and I suspect as the real world gets more and more insane it may be one of the last hiding places us uninitiated individuals have power over

Great talk, but disagree about the keyboard becoming niche. My prediction: until a reliable BCI (brain-computer interface) is made, keyboards will remain pretty much exactly like they are right now. Typing is the most comfortable way to get precise data from your brain into a regular PC. Think about it: would you write a novel, blog, or computer program using your voice? No. Even if it is "faster" to speak than type, it just doesn't feel as natural or comfortable when you're trying to choose your words carefully.
can you please tell my brother that? he uses the voice to text feature on his phone for practically everything, even in the middle of other people having a conversation or watching TV
its the future, we now have throat mic's that listen to your humming and translate that into text. loads quicker than using your hands and leaves your hands free for other tasks. until we get BCI :)
I made that reply as joke, but if you keep your mouth closed and hum the sentence (or anything you can read) it works. I can tell the diffrrence in the hum's so I computer would be able to too. why is this not a thing!
people probably said the same thing about using smartphones. Although I do agree that talking won't replace keyboards. In things like school or work you often spend several hours typing at a time, imagine talking for that long everyday.

Sorry no. My 15 year old dictates anything more than a line or two into the Chromebook we bought that is required at her public high school. She's trained herself to how it works and it to how she works so that now together they are amazingly effective. Quite something to watch really.
can someone please remind me to re watch this video in 2030
Benkia09 will do
Yes
I'll be here
If his fiction comes true, you will be reminded.
Sure :
