Breaking free from the "cognitive surveillance economy" will steer humanity towards freedom.
Shoshana Zuboff published a book describing how Google and Facebook turn users' behavioral residue into commercial products.
So, what's behavioral residue?
It's what you click. How long you linger. What you buy. What you search for. No one asks you about it; it's just the "exhaust" of using the internet, collected and transformed into a prediction machine about your future behavior.
Zuboff calls this "the most lucrative business model in history." And she's spot on regarding phase 1.
Phase 2 is happening right now. And it's more intimate than phase 1 on a whole different level.
Behavioral surveillance captures what you do. Cognitive surveillance is what AI chat is doing to capture how you think.
180 million people are providing this data daily to ChatGPT, and it's worth more than any behavioral data ever collected in phase 1.
And most do this without realizing they're in phase 2 of the largest economic experiment in history.
@OpenGradient is the first meaningful opt-out from the cognitive surveillance economy.
Trusted Execution Environment ensures that no cognitive data is extracted. No reasoning patterns are mapped.
You use AI to think better, but the way you think remains yours. #OPG

Phase 1 occurred while many were oblivious until it was too late. Don’t let phase 2 unfold in the same manner.
