insurance run by AI
some already pay others to scrape online profiles to calculate "risk", a social credit score sort of thing. might not be the first to market or 'prime mover' as entrepreneur mates call it lol

so, a services company... that manages your social media to optimize your insurance rates, and anything people are judged by for costs. it's an arms race and there's money to be made on both sides

an unicode/ai consortium to advocate for distinct unicode codepoints for ai generated text, and laws to require disclosure in media. maybe pixels should have an ai bit-flag too

i guess it would fail in its goals because it's like expecting spam to announce itself, but the startup would get donations

a company that sells user engagement devices to streamers...robots that do something to the streamer when someone pays :10bux:
  • a robot hand that slaps the streamer in the face, and then slowly coils up to strike again
  • an electric chair that zaps the streamer
  • a mat that can suddenly accelerate sideways to make the streamer fall over
  • a robot head that startles the streamer by screaming at them
  • a robot that sets the thermostat to max for 10 minutes

brave browser did that thing where they intercepted site adverts and replaced them with their own to earn $$$

but why stop there? the startup browser (lets call it jeff) could change the logo too and call it their site. its not facebook its jeffbook. jeffdrive. jeffgrindr and every profile photo is brave brendan eich

the outrage about brand dilution would be hilarious and unify silicon valley against jeff but...plot twist, jeff was secretly providing justification for google's new browser DRM called web environment integrity, and jeff gets paid

jeff retires to jamaica and i forgot if jeff is a browser or a person sorry

some employees misuse company equipment for their own benefit (eg mining bitcoin) but there's probably a broader market category for disgruntled employees who want to misuse company stuff

these products should be discrete and able to be used in the workplace without arousing suspicion. they will also have legitimate uses as a cover story

  • for countries that allow home brew liquor, a usb-powered desktop ethanol distiller machine so you can run your own speakeasy after work. sounds very safe to have one of those running 247
  • a device that siphons company power to feed back to your electric vehicle in the parking lot. a 5kWh battery could weigh 20kg and fit in a large backpack, be plugged in when you arrive at work, and then be ready to use in a few hours (my math is probably wrong)
