Prediction (assumptions) made in position of power over another or with unlawful dishonest or unreasonable manner when conflicts of interest.. sentiment.. belief or possibility…or other benefit is present….is consequential and often a crime. This includes that which cannot be shown true.. like plausible deniability.

In the past born into royalty close to the throne from the time they were around age 8 were being treated like only pawns when being promised in marriage or when they are being pressured to ask for a hand in marriage far sooner than they want to follow through with that question. PErhaps that was because of more than one covert made predictions amongst parents of underage children back then. It is a mystery who all was successful in breaking that kind of means to put young people born into royalty sometimes into a kind of bondage which only on the surface looks like they have it made. How do two people rescue one another from death in a nation where the life of a man has a price during conscription into the military year after year no matter what is going on international in politics at the time. They cannot because that is too much for them to do on their own.

What a powerful and insightful talk! Great to hear someone raising the ethical questions about our tech and AI future.
We can do it well, we can ask questions of modern prophecies. Hopeful!!

Informative talk. I prefer to separate the two concepts. Prediction is an honest, sincere attempt to model future events. What Carissa Veliz is warning of deserves a different label. Manipulation, Grift, Rhetoric; I am open to any or others.

For a long time I thought confusion was just part of love. I thought the constant anxiety, the overthinking, the feeling of walking on eggshells was something I needed to fix within myself. When I read Hidden Scripts in Love by Lora Kivren, it was uncomfortable at first. Not because it attacked anyone, but because it described situations I had normalized. It gave structure to things I couldn’t explain before. After that, I started seeing my experiences differently. I became quieter, but stronger.

The T in TED stands for technology.
Why would a technophobe be talking here against the future of technology?
Yes, we are lining the pockets of corporations by buying into new technologies, like cellphones.
But you talk like we got no benefits out of the deals.
Our lives got better because of new techs, not despite of them.
There’s no better time to be alive than tomorrow.
With that said, China is now a country without crime, and that’s definitely not what we want. We want personal freedom, and the price of personal freedom is crime.
