thanks AV

I’ve been reading a lot about behavior modification and technofeudalism and once you see it you can’t unsee it. The tech companies are quite literally just farming us for data and using their gadgets as a Trojan horse to get us to accept more invasive stuff into our lives.

The product isn’t vr glasses the product is you and for apple to sell the ability to nudge you into different behaviors with subtle cues in your daily activities. It’s the same thing as Facebook but at least Facebook had a use case originally and people used it because they wanted to.

This tech is being conceptualized and designed and marketed at us not because there’s a market for this stuff but they WANT there to be a market for it. They’re doing it right now with this post, convincing people that it’s actually really anticipated, but I’ll ask you this: how many times have you been in conversation where someone brought up a problem that would be solved by ar glasses? Or one level above that, how many people have openly expressed to you a desire for glasses so they don’t have to use their phone? I know you’re not the one who was arguing against my original comment but that should tell you everything you need to know about the market conditions. They’re not solving a problem, they’re creating a demand.

I’m just saying, be weary of these tech companies. They have made their intentions clear enough to warrant skepticism. Here is an economist explaining this better than I can, if you’re interested in the subject.

show me exactly where companies are coercing us

Im not entertaining this conversation anymore

You are complaining about me pointing out that there is zero DEMAND for this product. Nobody is asking for “Augmented reality” or whatever. It is not innovative or moving technology forward it’s literally an excuse to harvest a million more data points per minute for no benefit to the end user.

You seriously can’t comprehend how these companies use, manipulate, and coerce you to create a false demand for this slop? There is plenty of great literature on the subject, and if you’d like I can direct you to people with expertise to explain the concepts. Just stop mindlessly accepting and defending this behavior and stand up for yourself as a consumer.

Arrested for “obstruction of justice” like was clearly stated in the executive orders handed down yesterday. Don’t play coy. They were coerced by threat of investigation to pass the ordinances.

It’s in the article but you probably missed it because they’re reporting it in passive language.

The criteria must be wrong because by these metrics half of Americans are below poverty!

They already did this with Google glass and failed spectacularly. There is no market for this. Nobody is wishing they had computer glasses. It is something being forced onto consumers for the benefit of apple and it will not work.

You’d think with the massive failure of their apple vision they’d have learned this lesson already.

I’ve taken to the approach of simply asking “are you willing to die for these beliefs?”

Cnn gleefully reporting on local councils being threatened by the state to force their immigration enforcement through a vote or be arrested

What a terrible paper

Scroll down and read their first 100 days coverage

Who’d guess the cia deputy director would raise such a gullible piece of shit

Right what are we talking about

Thank you for this. I’m not sure how it became common knowledge to assume pharma companies pay for r&d but I’ve seen 10 different people on this app say those exact words and it’s really starting to peeve me off.

Last thing I’d do is give anyone a way to do my work without me present

I get to never exist AND racism is ended? Count me in
