@parents4future I agree. There is zero evidence that #technosolutionism of this kind will achieve anything for the victims of climate change - rather it will make things worse. It will make a few rich and powerful people even richer and more powerful, that's all...

I am always grateful to my employer for providing case studies for my module on Surveillance Capitalism.

As they start to implement another bout of privacy-invasive #TechnoSolutionism , I felt the need to think through the problem for myself.

Probably a very niche interest blog post, this one.

https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/12/17/8399 - Scientists build "social robots" to detect observable behavioral "deficits" to diagnose #autism in children. The research is based on #ADOS which is already widely known to be ineffective to detect women. Also, consensus is that autism is not visible, especially in girls, and is very diverse in observables.

Upsetting harmful #technosolutionism coming to confirm harming diagnostic approaches. Pavlov and Asperger still here.

@TatianaIlyina I think this problem is quite a deep one and only partially explained by the heavy investments in #greenwashing and #technosolutionism. Most people in rich countries truly believe there will always be food in the stores and markets, whatever happens.

This is why I think the current 4-degree-debate in France, however ill-framed it was launched by the government, could actually make some people understand how serious the #climatecrisis is.
