I like those note-taking apps that require my location for a better user experience
What do you mean you don’t want location tags in your notes?
Omg stop it, you are making me nervous. Okay, I will Accept terms and conditions
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
I personally hate the “thanks to AI you now can speak to your dead relatives” ones. Especially those ones which try to spin it like a personal story for the developer of the app. Oh shut up, you would sell your own mother for money. And also you are too late to jump on that bandwagon so get lost, we have enough of you leeches.
Literally the exact plot of a black mirror episode.
I swear there are some people watching Black Mirror and furiously taking notes
And it was such a heartbreaking experience, I dont know who saw that and said yes daddy please.
Also the hit comedy Small Wonder that ran from 1985-1989?
I HATED that show.
Well black mirror is a documentary
On a related note, I personally hate the AI partner/friend ones as well, where it’s clearly preying on the lonely, insecure, or desperate. It’s dastardly, dystopian, and frankly, quite sad. How many children’s media show rich children as being quite miserable sods whose parents think that not having friendship can be resolved by buying their kids a friend?
You could easily see that being in a cyberpunk story, where you can rent a friend or partner from a megacorporation, but if you don’t pay the rent, they’ll be repossessed and deleted/destroyed. The data would be collected and used regardless.
yeah was gonna mention those too but hate the relatives one even more passionately so focused on that.
That’s a pretty cool idea for a story, actually. I’d totally steal that if I wasn’t so lazy
“Exploiting immigrants to deliver food”
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?

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

The Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus.
Need to add illegal gambling to the list
Naw, crime is legal now.
What’s worse?
Illegal gambling in traditional sense (poker, dice, slots, etc) or legal gambling loopholes like video game lootboxes? 🤔
Probably loot boxes since it more directly targets children
Much like flavored tobacco or alcoholic drinks directly target children. /s
Downvote but no argument? It’s exactly the same kind of logic being used to push age verification laws.
Protecing children is a parents job first and foremost, all the excuses I hear from parents read to me like maybe you shouldn’t have had children if you can’t dedicate the time to educating yourself and watching over their activities to a minimal degree.
All the laws being proposed and implemented generally just impact adults much more then children anyway.

It so happens that stuff useful for criminals is sometimes also useful for political dissidents or simply people who consider the country’s laws too oppressive. Encrypted communication is another example of this.
Even and especially in those cases cryptocoins are a very bad idea. Just because it’s “a” solution doesn’t mean it’s a good one
sometimes
and sometimes firearms are used in defense.
do the valid reason justify the illicit reasons? you’ll certainly say they do but I’m a bit more undecided.
Don’t forget about the tech/government surveillence state that is all up in your ass
“We’re living in the future. I’ll tell you how I know. I read it in the paper. Fifteen years ago.”
To be fair, all money is fake and used by criminals
The leader of the country that prints the world’s reserve currency is a convicted felon so that tracks.
Yeah but is it destroying the environment? Also yes.
Except real money is used for taxes and government spending. Fake money is needed only by criminals.
I like this meme every time I see it here on anarchist forums.
well now we can add on: “illegal gambling on literally everything”
and “1984 level surveillance being sold to the government instead of being done by them directly so somehow legal”
… maybe something about giant ai networks of murder robots waging war?
fuck why did we have to get the worst cyberpunk sci-fi future….I wish it was literally everything. I want to buy Trump insurance.
Oooh 16% chance by December! You’ve brightened my day.
well that percentage is just determined by
bettingpurchases of stocks related to the outcome of a prediction….
and i think magats are over represented on there, so i’d put the odds at higher than that.
i’ll put the cynicism behind a spoiler tag butspoiler for brightened days
president jd vance will be worse than president trump… also trump being impeached was always part of the Proj 2025 plan. We could end up with V.P. Steve Bannon, then JD could resign and then, Adolph’s your uncle.
I like this comment every time I see it posted in response to this meme. Then I hit subscribe, then I SMASH THAT BELL ICON SO YOUR MOBILEK SHIVERS WITH ECSTACY IN YOUR POCKET WHENEVER I POST AN UPDATE

People chose the one option that’s able to literally take everyone’s jobs away from them someday?
Take the jobs with no actual plan on what people are going to do afterwards lol
