«Two myths currently limit our collective imagination: the myth that advertising is the only possible business model for online companies, and the myth that it’s too late to change the way platforms operate. On both points, we need to be a little more creative. While the problems facing the web are complex and large, I think we should see them as bugs: problems with existing code and software systems that have been created by people — and can be fixed by people» – Tim Berners-Lee.

«These dominant platforms are able to lock in their position by creating barriers for competitors. They acquire startup challengers, buy up new innovations and hire the industry’s top talent. Add to this the competitive advantage that their user data gives them and we can expect the next 20 years to be far less innovative than the last. What’s more, the fact that power is concentrated among so few companies has made it possible to weaponise the web at scale» – Tim Berners-Lee.

«Les prétentions à la suzeraineté de ces plates-formes, pour reprendre la formule de Alain Supiot (2) dans Gouverner par les nombres, doit être combattue par la souveraineté des États (comme le fait le RGPD) pour contraindre ces plates-formes à remettre dans le domaine public toutes les données et traces qui sont à leur disposition, données produites par le public et qui méritent d’être reprises, traitées et contrôlées par des organismes scientifiques publics avant d’être mises à disposition des chercheurs dans des conditions précises comme c’est le cas pour les recensements (et donc avec des limites). Les principes de la science ouverte risquent fort de rester des vœux pieux si on ne s’attaque pas dès maintenant à cette prédation des données par l’oligopole de l’attention que constituent les GAFAMT» – Dominique Boullier.

Decentralize the Internet

«Finding the killer apps of the decentralized internet will take more time, people, and money than have been thrown at the problem so far. Pakman says that societal attitudes to power and big tech companies appear to be in the right place to deliver them. ‘There’s massive distrust in centralized everything,’ he says. ‘We don’t trust the government, don’t go to church or synagogue, don’t trust banks and now we no longer trust tech companies.’»

«With that, Hangouts Chat is now ready to go up against Slack (6 million users as of last September), Microsoft Teams, Facebook Workplace, Atlassian’s Stride, Flock, Zoho Cliq, and Keybase’s free Teams. Google grew its G Suite customer base by a third over the past year to 4 million businesses, so it could well have a fighting chance in this battle».

«We present a method to create universal, robust, targeted adversarial image patches in the real world. The patches are universal because they can be used to attack any scene, robust because they work under a wide variety of transformations, and targeted because they can cause a classifier to output any target class. These adversarial patches can be printed, added to any scene, photographed, and presented to image classifiers; even when the patches are small, they cause the classifiers to ignore the other items in the scene and report a chosen target class».
