📺 "Cyfrowa Hydra: Czasem zasiłek, a czasem wolność. Jak cyfryzacja osłabia państwo?Jeśli sądzicie, że negatywny wpływ technologii na wasze życie ogranicza się do niewoli smartfona oraz potencjalnych zagrożeń informacyjnych, to posłuchajcie tego odcinka. Wraz z gościnią Karoliną Sztandar-Sztanderską, socjolożką, adiunktką w Zakładzie Socjologii Pracy i Organizacji IS UW, rozmawiamy o tym, jak algorytmy i źle pojęta cyfryzacja rozmontowują fundamenty państwa, od opieki zdrowotnej, przez demokrację. Jak kiepskie założenia projektów technologicznych przekładają się na to, kto będzie kontrolowany przez ZUS, a kto straci prawa lub świadczenia, a czasem (USA) wolność. I jak, w pogoni za „modernizacją” państwo traci tzw. ludzką twarz, przez co jeszcze silniej nasyca obywateli nieufnością wobec własnych instytucji."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2u-_bpgtpsInvidious:https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=r2u-_bpgtps#cyfryzacja #społeczeństwo #państwo #Polska

I met Mike Huckabee once. He was holding a cookie in his right hand. I went to shake his hand. He frowned, looked down at his cookie for a few seconds, then reluctantly shifted it to his left hand. So to save you a click, he's probably eating cookies.https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/whats-huckabee-up-to
