I remind everyone that Google invested not once, but twice in this company, for a total of $350 million

I weep for my newborn, whose reality will be marred by so much fakeness

I freaking hate the future, man. I’m so sick of this shit.

Fascinating stuff.

I do think there will eventually be pushback against the current oligarch model of technology, but it is likely I will be much older when it happens.

Just the nature of history. We are pretty early in the information age.

This is "opt in"

For now.

Do I want my face in ads? No. Not at all.

Would I want this same tech used to character swap myself into movies, or just swap actors in whatever? ...okay yeah that might be kinda fun novelty.

Awesome. Stand on the big X and pull the lever, Samsung.

Someone at Samsung submitted a user story only to troll, and it worked "I need you to drain my phone battery and data plan for ads when I dont even look at it"

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago

Stuff like this always reminds me of the personalized ads in Mass Effect (like here: https://youtu.be/hMdIypwM2KI ). That game has accurately depicted the future.

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 10 months ago

Yeugh. This makes me feel sick.

[–] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

who the fuck is going to buy anything that's endorsed by my ugly mug?

[–] justlemmyin@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I have an ancient Samsung. Its going to die soon. I don't think I can get a pixel here. What are my options, coz I also hate apple?
