"We're living in the future. I'll tell you how I know. I read it in the paper. Fifteen years ago."

Having watched enough Kitboga I think we're underestimating the impact of the sheer joy and catharsis fake money for criminals ends up causing

Hmmm ... the technology that is literally driving people insane so a few investors can make advertising money

How about

  • reinventing trains but worse
  • rocketing amount of space launches filling up junk
  • we deliver everything but once we take over it'll all be crap rip off products (for slave wages)
  • we deliver any food by people who can't drive (for slave wages)
  • we'll create algorithms to enforce society divisions and hurt mental health of children
  • we'll take over a popular platform and make it even more disgusting and fascist

Wait till you learn about their latest innovation!

Exploiting individuals from other countries to bypass labor laws in the country of business operation via distributed outsourcing. Why even pay minimum wage in the US?

Where's "video games that you never actually own, but at least you pay to beat them"?

Where's "removal of a common phone feature, because if you don't buy a $528 external DAC and a $9164 planar headphones, you'll be okay with a pair of raycons"?

Where's "video games that you never actually own, but at least you pay to beat them"?

This new and groundbreaking technological innovation?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

So gatcha games are just video games returning to their roots?

It gets funnier when people do everything they can to not even play them, even paying to cheat

It's like Idiocracy and the waiting guy

It’s funny how a lot of “innovations” are really just old ideas wrapped in new technology.

Personally I'd say every single product and service being transparently wrapped in a personal information honeypot

Just give me your ID bro. It's totally to protect the kids bro.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 78 points 2 days ago (24 children)

Because you have 2/4 general terms:

  1. Rideshare
  2. Short term rentals
  3. Crypto
  4. LLM
