       Great article by @eileenguo and Tate Ryan-Mosleyhttps://www.technologyreview.com/2023/04/03/1070665/cmu-university-privacy-battle-smart-building-sensors-mites/"“It’s not okay to install these by default,” says @davidthewid , a final-year PhD candidate in software engineering, who became one of the department’s most vocal voices against Mites. “I don’t want to live in a world where one’s employer installing networked sensors in your office without asking you first is a model for other organizations to follow.”

       "Her doctor suggests installing Mites around her home to “connect to…smart speakers & tell her when her laundry is done and when she’s left the oven on” or to evaluate her sleep by noting the sound of sheets ruffling or nighttime trips to the bathroom..."“They are helpful to Emily, but even more helpful to her doctor,” the article claims"This is the type of analysis I start with in this talk: https://sites.google.com/view/fatecv-tutorial/schedule?authuser=0 (part 1). Juxtaposing this with this article by @ali https://ali-alkhatib.com/blog/anthropological-intelligence

       @timnitGebru @eileenguo @davidthewid “Our vision is that there’s one sensor to rule them all, if you’ve seen Lord of the Rings."Uh, yes.  Yes, I have.  The parts about a small device enabling intrusive surveillance to track people down, torture and kill them were particularly memorable.

       @timnitGebru @eileenguo @davidthewid There's also the quote, “I would rather [we] be leading it than Google or ExxonMobil," which reminds me of all the people in the Lord of the Rings who thought it would be horrible for Sauron to use the One Ring, but they could do it right...
