A New HOPE (2022),
July 24, 2022, 4 p.m.
(50 minutes)
This is a talk for people who want to destroy Big Tech. It's not a talks for people who want to tame Big Tech. There's no fixing Big Tech. It's not a talk for people who want to get rid of technology itself. Technology isn't the problem. Stop thinking about what technology does and start thinking about who technology does it to and who it does it for. This is a talk about the thing Big Tech fears the most: technology operated by and for the people who use it.
