so... a virus?

@quinn

I think angry lonely people defaced the ads.

@leadore

I think a lot of the spying and tracking is driven by the desire to do ads.

Not all of it. But the bulk.

@WesternInfidels

Also, that's not an exception. Most of the ads I've seen for this thing have been marked up like this and not by the same people. I think it's just a last straw.

The ad is kind of insulting in a way.

@WesternInfidels

It's a little unusual. Most ads don't get defaced like this unless they have been up for too long (people will do funny things with old movie posters)

This just REALLY pissed people off.

@leadore

To be fair my phone has no ads, but it's not "magic" it's a lot of work and I'm not always into doing it.

@jeffjarvis

"neoclassical facade" tacked on the side like a campaign button.

This is a box (data center) with architectural stickers on it.

McMansion "CAD Pack" vibes.

@phooky

Call that "dark mode"

@michaelgemar

I was being kind of absurd with this comment but thinking about it more I think there is a real point buried here.

As in: interacting with people matters? even if you only want to sell things. But even more if you need "a friend"

@michaelgemar

people are so mad LOL... and the people making this are saying "no no no this is a good thing... we are having an impact."

@michaelgemar @Moss @llewelly @quinn

this is making me feel things

@michaelgemar

If AI is so great why don't you sell your big new product to THEM? Hmm?

@llewelly @quinn

So many concerned about loan sharks... what about the lonely sharks?

@audubonballroon

angry math noises

@toerror @quinn

that's it. going Amish now

@dlakelan @quinn

for investors?

@quinn

"people in cities HATE it" becomes a big selling point.

This could work...

@lienrag

This is true about 8 times out of 10

@jwcph @quinn

I have never seen a real human with them in NYC even once... and I hang out with people who love gadgets and computers.
