It can use AI+facial recognition+flock cameras to show you your daughter alone walking to school.
Upgrade to our PLATINUM insurance package. You cant be there forever. Accidents can happen.

It looked like Xbox was threatening that with the Kinect needing to be connected and being able to sign in with your face. If someone was there who hadn’t paid full price for the game on their own account theyre shit out of luck.

It sounds like fun.
Then the next wave is that the feature length advert will play. You can see the shortened version by shouting I LOVE MCDONALDS. Or you can skip entirely by showing the Camera the New McFood Deluxe and eating it.
These motherfuckers do not know the meaning of the words “dystopian hellscape”. There is no such thing as too much, too far, too invasive, too insidious. There is only “so what’s next for our marketing department?”
- Comment on AI is the digital equivalent of an atom bomb. You can refuse it but you can't prevent others from using it... and there may be dire consequences if only the worst people have it. 1 day ago:
Theres a weird quirk of AI haters who can only see the flaws and cant see how incredible its got out of nowhere. Like yes its got limits and problems and it may never be actually truly useful, but compare what we have now to what we had 10 years ago…whats it gonna be in another 10?

While we’re here, I just witnessed a Crow trying to talk like a parrot. Shits getting weird
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 1 day ago:
Maybe not genuinely, but i think im a reasonable person and I have a slot in my head for ghosts. I dont truly believe in them but have seen and experienced some weird stuff that I cant explain, and since I cant recreate the weirdness to test out a bunch of different things until they can be explained, “a ghost did it” is a convenient box to put them in.
I have a similar mental box for aliens in the sky.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 1 day ago:
Its got to be deliberate. They’ve had so many chances and fucked it, and they’ve had so many successes that they’ve just cancelled or discontinued for seemingly no reason.

I would love for an AI machine to be all knowing and all pervasive. It honestly sounds like it could be great.
Except definitelt not because we know 100% that nobody could be trusted to be in charge of it.

- Comment on Seamus Blackley interview | What an Xbox founder thinks of the new Xbox CEO 3 days ago:
Every company does that in this world, but part of the arrangement was for the product/service to increase in quality/quantity. They grow bigger by being better, and can use that bigger to get more better.

- Comment on I've probably seen more naked ladies than my entire bloodline combined 4 days ago:
Yeah i was thinking you go on a gallery site and you scroll past scores of them without even noticing. An advert pops up with like 10 different naked chicks thumbnails and you close it before you even take in any details, but you’ve still seen them. Its gotta add up
- Comment on Just do it 4 days ago:
It shouldn’t be, but it kind of is. Only the people who are whoring the meta strat for max points win the most.

Absolutely the problem. They’ve stopped trying to make fun and started trying to exploit psychological weaknesses and hijack our internal reward systems to rinse us of both time and money.
Fun is no longer the driving factor, and it makes me feel not quite angry or nauseous, but somewhere around those emotions.
