Humans are hackable

Yuval Noah Harari's thoughts

  • The fear is that Corporations and Government who own my data are using Algorithms to hack humans. Knowing us so well, they can press the right buttons in us to make us buy X, do Y or even vote Z.
    • The smartest people in the world are working to hijack human attention and keep it.
  • Because Algorithms know us so well and are becoming better and better at taking decisions, authority will shift from humans to algorithms
