I was able to watch this now:
I’m actually quite happy that the new Brexit movie exists, because it focuses primarily on the flows in the system and how it was hacked by Dominic Cummings. There’s nothing new to be gained from the film if you have followed how and what Cummings, Cambridge and AIQ did, especially if you follow his blog, but it’s good that more people are directed to the issues and loopholes he used in order to win Brexit. I’m still quite stunned how little comments and followers Cummings has and actually frightened how little other people understand the systematic flaws that are still in place and ignored by old-school analysts.
He clearly managed to stay in the background, but you can not say, he didn’t tell how the Leave campaign did it. He actually posted a material of how this is done and even their software is now open-source. He approached the problem more like a hacker – including some aspects of social hacking – and succeeded because, like most geeky stuff, other people just didn’t understand how technology and disruption really work – or just defined him as an internet troll only. Well, even if he was, his campaign (unfortunately) still won. I take this chance to encourage everybody to take a look at some articles or figures on his blog (this does not mean that you need to believe or even like him, but taking his remarks for vulnerability seriously and understand, how these people work).
If you want to see Cummings in fact instead of fiction, there’s also a talk.
